    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    Is that LX sitting in low AHC mode in that pic?

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    I know bro I couldn’t figure out how to change the post once I already made it haha. Again I’m not trying to s*** on these cars like some people assumed but I’ll never go out and say it’s some super luxury, dead silent, driving vehicle. I’ve been in 5+ different 100s and they’re all similar give...

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    I don’t buy that for one second. My boss has an Araco built 100. 03-04 I forgot what year. Driven it many times and it’s a bigger rattle trap than my LX by ten times. He even said his 97 4Runner interior feels more solid and well put together. Araco vs non Araco, Makes no difference in a 100...

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    I simply made a point that these vehicles are not the “best riding and driving” machines as some people on here make them out to be. Period. And if you read my posts, I said it doesn’t even bother me. I haul some much gear in my car these days that I have a million things rattling nonstop which...

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    My 80 series with almost 300k miles doesn’t even have this sensation. My old 01 ES300 interior is solid as a rock compared to a 100 series. If you push in the dash or door panels, zero squeaks or movement. It’s actually scary how solid those are built. The 100 series cabin creaks every single...

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    I think you’re missing the point. I’ve been in cars with solid engine mounts, completely slammed, 25 series tires, with poly bushings all around and they do not have this jarring cabin vibrations/sensation. The rubber bushing are just masking tape for what I believe is average interior build...

    Did the new mounts make a noticeable difference? Can you find the post?

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    Nah man engine mounts and trans mounts would not equate to the cabin sensation we are describing. I come from a long background of these older lexus. We’ve been messing around with old SC, 2GS, older snd newer LS for the last twenty years. Changed tranny and engine mounts many times but not for...

    Like I said I probably spent close to or over $10k (parts alone) to do what you’re describing and with a full suspension overhaul the difference was minimal.

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    The only “bushings” I haven’t changed are the body mounts on my car. Every other bushing was changed two years ago when we removed AHC. I bought brand new OEM front lower control arms, blackhawk front upper arms, trail tailor upper and lower rear arms, I have Timbren bumpstops front and rear...

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    That’s very true but I’m not really talking about the ride quality. These 100s actually have amazing ride quality in the sense that it’s not a bouncy experience (unlike a lot of 4Runners, GX, and similar size vehicles). I’m talking more about the jarring and harsh cabin noise. Like when you hit...

    I got an 04 LS430 and it’s considerably smoother driving than any 100 series I’ve ever been in. I’ve learned to live with it. Not gonna complain but at the same time not gonna agree with what some forums members are saying here about how smooth these vehicles are.

    Idk bro I spent like $10k for icons and the full shabang and it’s still rough lol. I don’t think it’s an AHC issue at all. Sounds more like these trucks are just rattle traps.

    Tires make a huuuge difference in the ride quality.

    Should I Hold Out for 06-07?

    I’m curious about the people that consider AHC 100s to be super smooth etc. what other vehicles have you guys owned or driven? I got my 07 LX with 116k miles, 1-owner back in 2016. Bone stock, owned by some old lady that bought it and serviced it strictly at the dealer my brother works at in...

    You knew you’d offend some 06 owner? Do you even understand the definition of offend? What in my response lead you to believe I was offended?

    High altitude and vapor lock happens to all generations of cruiser. Not 100 specific and certainly not 06-07 specific.
