    LX450 Rebuild Estimate or Sequoia swap?

    Gotcha. Yea, I probably need someone to open her up and give a specific diagnosis, then circle back here. 🙂

    LX450 Rebuild Estimate or Sequoia swap?

    I think I was previously thrown by “new short block”. As a layman not a mechanic, I’ve always heard the term ‘new short block’ as ‘new engine’ 😎

    LX450 Rebuild Estimate or Sequoia swap?

    agree to the comprehension part as i’m still looking for some sort of estimate to pull and repair MY engine, not purchasing another one. i guess it’s the price range may be too large to be of help 😎

    LX450 Rebuild Estimate or Sequoia swap?

    Yea, you’re right. I think he was referring to something else. But still wondering the price range to have my engine pulled, repaired & reinstalled. Or maybe the price range is too large to be helpful.

    LX450 Rebuild Estimate or Sequoia swap?

    Thanks bud! You were supposed to tell me that slinging a rod is an easy $500 fix ha. So you estimate about $2k to have my engine rebuilt? Again, I know its history so I’d like to keep it.

    What part of ‘slung a rod’ did you not get? 😆 You’d be the first person to say this is a minor fix, but it would be great if that’s the case!

    1. 1996 model LX450 ‘slung a rod’ several years ago at 275k miles. I bought at 70k from a rich dude, it literally looked brand new. The next 200k miles, all oil changes etc and only 93 octane. This vehicle has literally never been off road (sorry to disappoint everyone, just not my thing...

    '96 LX450-going to single din stereo-want cup holders in lower half

    well, since they didn't have bluetooth stereos in 1996… instead of trying to match the double din space of the factory stereo, i'm installing the same single din sony i just put in the '95 mercedes (bluetooth, built-in amp, etc). looking for worthwhile options to fill the space of the lower...

    Closing the sunroof manually

    Sunroof closes most of the way, but will not seal on the rear end. Not interested in spending the $$$ right now to repair. Someone previously posted a link (maybe from a Chilton's manual?) with the following language: "Manually operate the moon roof by inserting a special crank−shaped...
