    power steering hose assembly - OE or aftermarket?

    my PS hose failed a few weeks ago; had my local shop do the work. Hose, ps flush, new fluid $246. OEM. I know, I know...but I was slammed and had to get it done pronto.

    missing screw/bolt on front doors (?) 05 LX

    was doing the cabin filter thing today and noticed this (center of photo, on door). Is it just a trim screw/bolt that goes here? Missing on both front doors.

    puddle lights for '05 LX - sourcing

    You were right, to check voltage. I had ~12v at the initial harness connection, so then had to work downstream. My snowventure had just strained the wiring at the first puddle junction of three wires, causing intermittency. Your lights are still good (!) although I ended up using one of the...

    puddle lights for '05 LX - sourcing

    Thanks for tip, R. Btw, you might not remember, but you helped me thru the AHC journey (pressure readings, TBs, etc) about 2 yrs ago. I ended up just throwing in some used LC 100 springs in the rear. The daily "ride" now, of course, is not nearly what it had been. On the other hand, when I...

    puddle lights for '05 LX - sourcing

    I was backing up a road with a steep packed snowbank maybe 6" clearance on ea side and got sideways, surprised it didn't tear everything out! In the two pods, one-half of each light strip is on, the other half is out. So, likely not a light failure...

    puddle lights for '05 LX - sourcing

    Too much deep snow in N Idaho...must've strained the wiring on my drivers' side puddle lights. I bought these from a MUD maker about 4+ yrs ago, but can't find him now. They were plug n play into the existing running board harness connector, a very easy install. Any ideas on replacing?

    Updating AHC system

    It's been a year, at least, since I bought amd installed LC springs on my 05 LX. It had been doing OK on the pressures, but would sometimes bump into L when i hooked up my smallish trailer, loaded up. Tried the TB adjust. Spoke to Slee, bought some used LC springs, and the result has been...

    Rolled the LX

    Glad you guys are OK, and a blessing that these rigs are sturdy when needed most. If this happened to me in my other DD, a 2012 Scion IQ....

    Son scraped my LX, the house lost a chunk too

    One of my sons borrowed my 470 and scraped side of house backing it out. 195K and this is the first "accident" for this rig!!!...I couldn't really say much, I know he felt bad, and the "landing zone" in our driveway & side yard is a mess with various sons' moving in/out do change work, school...

    working in a spare tire with > tread?

    I had no idea they could do that. That's really useful info. Or, take the tire to my bench with a belt sander. What could go wrong?!

    working in a spare tire with > tread?

    Last yr wife drove my 05 about mile with a flat, on a rough road. Tire was destroyed. Long story short: because my spare back then was a POS, had to replace the whole set of tires - which still had a fair # of miles left on them. Vowing to not get into this scenario again, I bought 5...

    Inconsistent pressure reads from Techstream at AHC front

    I'd be really interested in what your issue(s) were before the spacers, & how the spacers affected/improved that. Did you write up a thread anywhere?

    Inconsistent pressure reads from Techstream at AHC front

    I had an LC before this current rig, so the stiffer bounce from the rear is not unfamiliar. I'll miss that LX suspension smoothness, but I won't miss it trying to shift into Low every time I hook up my trailer or struggling to get into High, which I actually use (unlike Low which I almost...

    Inconsistent pressure reads from Techstream at AHC front

    I gave up on the Kings, called Slee and threw in a pair of used stock LC springs.

    Inconsistent pressure reads from Techstream at AHC front

    Made it work, thanks for the tip. Now that I know what to do, it's a 90 min job - not 3 hours! Just happy to see no hydralic fluid leaks - yet - so hopefully did not strain the brake lines! As predicted from the threads in Mud, the results were 1) AHC not going into Low now (front end does...
