    Need opinions on which LX to keep ('99 or '06)

    Keep the 06 if you value the extra power and 5spd.

    ABS Booster Pump - Repair or Replace? Part Sources? Rebuild in DFW, TX

    Thanks but I ended up buying a whole new assembly from Lexus a while back. I didn't have a motor issue but a pressure sensor issue that was non-serviceable/inside the black box.

    Steering still feels loose after all new control arms and tie-rod ends

    Besides the mentioned steering rack bushings, have you checked the inner tie rods?

    Should I sell my LX 470 and buy an LX 570?

    I sold my old DD, 2014 LX570, and started driving my 2000 LX470 again. I do not regret my choice one bit. We all have different reasons so go with the one YOU want.

    Supercharged 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser UZJ100 - question

    I installed a used(came off my 98 LC with around 200K) TRD supercharger on my LX470 at 200K. Currently has 237K. So far I’ve done supercharger oil changes and rebuilt the snout due to bearing noise/leaking snout seal. The powder coat is showing some age so I may look into getting it recoated. So...

    Head gasket leak - 2000 lx470

    From experience, windshield washer fluid works great on dried up coolant. Even better than brake cleaner.

    500 miles to a tank?? Yes!

    I don’t doubt your mpg but the fill-up is questionable. I’m sure this is not the norm for the 100s. Maybe you have leak, your charcoal canister is your aux tank lol, the pump is cheating you, your tank is some sort of aftermarket OE replacement, or a combination of them. But congrats on the 500...

    Need opinions on a leak

    Cam plugs aka half moon plugs/seals are usually resealed with doing valve cover gaskets. They are in the rear of the heads towards the firewall. They may have botched the install or just never cleaned the remnants of the leak. Its unlikey they replaced the cam seals on that 06 as part of a tb...

    Timing belt jumping / Belt Tensioner / Oil Pump

    This. 100%. Do it before it cost you an engine. The tensioner is a standalone piece. It does not work off of engine oil pressure. Get another timing belt and tensioner done else where. Water pump optional. Kind of hard to screw that up but I wouldn't put it past your “mechanic”.

    4.7 Rebuild Options. I need more grunt.

    @EricUT PM me if you're interested a TRD supercharger for the 100.

    4.7 Rebuild Options. I need more grunt.

    200 all day if you're looking for power. Brakes are better too. My other vehicle is a supercharged 100...

    Freedom Off-road UCA

    At the end of the day, it's not my money so I can't tell you where to send it. You may not need UCAs depending on your lift. Here's my before and after alignment with STOCK UCAs. AHC delete, mild lift with sway-a-way torsion bar/ome 863/KONI shocks. My friend didn't want to mess with the cam...

    For those that deleted AHC, VSC beeping.

    It's possible, but I rather not disable VSC if it's trying to save my butt. When I first bought it with 195k or so miles, VSC warned and intervened where I almost wrecked it. I found the inner tie rods with some serious play. No more VSC warning or intervention since replacing the inner tie...

    For those that deleted AHC, VSC beeping.

    Thanks. I'll start with a Zero Point Calibration.

    For those that deleted AHC, VSC beeping.

    I'm usually just cruising and taking my time as I drive my 100 but I've been having an itch for a sports car lol. I've been taking the on/off ramp loops pretty aggressively and the VSC warning is beeping at me. It seems as if I'm over a certain MPH and the steering angle is such degrees, the...

    12 Hole Injector Upgrade - Finally Tested

    Thanks for putting this together. How about their flow rates? Advertised info vs information from the cleaning/testing?
