    Finishing a job a tree on the trail started and going about completely de-flaringy LX450. Unsure what to do with these threaded inserts that are in the sheet metal?

    Drilling of holes required? ARB drawer install

    Hey all - installing a single ARB roller-drawer into the back of the 80...was thinking this was a simple bolt in using the existing 3rd row holes (where the locking plates are), however that only appears to be the case for the forward mounting location while the instructions indicated drilling...

    HAM installation

    So I'm set to take the HAM license exam in a couple of weeks and will be purchasing a Icom IC-2730A radio soon. I plan to mount an antenna on the passenger side of my 80-series stock front bumper (at least until I buy armor) but I was curious how folks route the coax into the cab to attach to...

    During install of upgraded heavy duty battery cables (thanks @Fourrunner !) the brittle sheathing around some of the wires near the oil filter broke off (see pic). I have two questions: 1) any concerns with leaving the wire exposed 2) I am about to begin waterproofing my wire harness &...

    Did green grease change to NLGI #1.5???

    Shopping for some green grease and noticed the new labels indicate it as NLGI #1.5 with the statement “Meets or exceeds most OEM performance requirements for NLGI #2 grease” Old labels clearly stated it as NLGI #2, did something change or have there always been two types available?

    Attempting my first suspension job today (OEM shocks, OME stock replacement springs). How do I remove the lower end of the shock absorber and salvage the retainers/washers?

    2000 RPM at startup normal?

    I just finished replacing PCV valve and cleaning the throttle body. Upon startup the truck revved up to 2000 and then slowly stepped down and settled around 1200 after 5 min. Been holding at 1200 for the last 10 min. I used to idle around 600 before the maintenance, never noticed a big jump...

    Rough idle and check engine light

    I did my first oil change yesterday in an LX450 I bought last month. Switched from dino oil to rotella T6 5w-40. Drove less than a mile yesterday and everything seemed ok, but today the truck was idling and running pretty rough. I thought it may just be the thicker oil that was getting worked...

    Brake pads ok?

    I just finished doing my first ever oil change (rotella T6) and tire rotation on an LX I bought earlier last month. Lately the brakes have been squealing a bit when coming to a stop (seems to come from the front brakes) so I inspected the front pads while I had the tires off. The FSM says they...

    White Smoke After Coolant Flush

    Hello all, I just did a coolant flush as my first PM on a recently purchased '97 LX with 120k miles. I noticed some white smoke coming out of the tail pipe after starting her back up, there is also some liquid dripping out of the tail pipe. I assume it is steam/condensation that is coming out...

    Novice Wrencher Attempting Coolant Flush

    So I've scoured over the forums, FAQs and FSM in preparation for my first PM task on my recently purchased LX450 with 120k miles. I figured a coolant flush would be a good place to start so I picked up a Prestone flush kit and after much hand-wringing, I cut the heater hose to install the...
