Since lubing with M1 a few weeks ago, just about every clunk returned. Decided to add more grease to the driveshafts and instead went with Sta-Lube Moly. Whereas the brake release clunk previously returned same day, the Moly has so far kept me 100% clunk free thru the weekend. So far so good and...
Well, spent some time looking around under the car last night and noticed the rear lower control arm bushings are in poor shape. After some reading, sounds like these bushings can also be a contributor to thunks. Looks like something I need to do anyway and we'll see if it helps in this regard!
So I greased up the zerks this past weekend. And then, of course, found this thread.
I've got the thunk. Prior to greasing, I had thunks letting go of the brake from a stop, occasionally when stepping on the gas from coasting, when transitioning from incline/decline such as my driveway, and a...
The more experienced guys can advise on what's normal or not with the raising/lowering. But I'll just chime in with yes, if you wanted to keep the AHC going forever, it will get very expensive. I got into my '04 LX470 with the intention of swapping in a 'normal' suspension once faced with a...
Good lord my wallet didn't need to see this thread. I had sliders as a later mod, but now realizing White Knuckle is just a few hours away, I might have to rethink.
As mentioned above by SoCal Dan, really depends on what you're using the truck for. We all have different priorities. Personally, I wanted a local CA 2003+ that was mechanically well maintained and wasn't going to pay the premium for immaculate exterior/interior condition as I intend to use it...
Had quite a Rock Warriory weekend. Spent Saturday with a little desert road trip to pick up another full set at a killer price. Looks like they're in great shape, just simply need to be de-plastidipped. I intend to clean them up, keep two and sell the other two. Not ready yet, but if anyone's...
A sub that sounded more like a snare drum was the first item that had to be addressed. I was slightly disappointed when I pulled out the sub, as there were no obvious tears in the foam like in the photos I'd seen online. After a few taps on the outer edge, I realized the entire speaker edge had...
I believe you can get the manuals thru the toyotaowners website. All you really need is the VIN. The site will also show you the service history, if performed by Toyota. Super jealous of how close you are to Slee
Thanks! I was initially planning to go with 18" oem Tundra rims and powdercoating them dark grey or black. Then out of nowhere, a local guy was selling two sets of Rock Warriors. Went to check out the cleaner set and yeah, now they're cozy in my house waiting for Spidertrax spacers to show up...
Hi all! I'm new around here and figure I'll get a thread going to keep track of my LX470 journey. For some odd reason, I've always loved Land Cruisers (strange being that I'm mostly a sports car guy). Never really had a reason to own one, but now that my photography hobby takes me to national...
Well, just had to take the dog out and took a couple pictures of what I believe is the original windshield and trims on my 2004 LX. Kinda dark, but maybe this shows what you're looking for...
As mentioned above, it's likely just a bad switch. It's something I have to do as well (purchased the $15 switch linked above) and I had a page saved that had a couple useful photos that apparently has expired in the past couple days. This thread has most of the photos that were on that page...
Another cheaper option would be to just use an aux cable unit like the Grom TOYNA1. Simpler and typically better sound quality. I personally wasn't too interested in using the factory screen to navigate folders/songs and prefer using my phone or tablets screens anyway. Bluetooth calls would...
