Hello all!
First post here!
I am terminally paranoid about the 1VD-FTV In my 2010 VDJ76r. While the engine is great, its strong and runs beautifully - 10.8L/100km highway driving! I am terminally paranoid about breaking it!
If the time does come to rebuild the engine or replace it, I was...
So I posted to the classifieds being green at all this forum shenanigans . It was suggested I post here with better results by 65swb45 (whom apparently I’m not allowed to start a convo with , or what I’m promoted when I try to PM or start a convo with). Again fairly new to posting on forums and...
Good afternoon all. My wife and I just picked up a nearly new LX. We want to do a little dirt road riding and pack a picnic for Christmas. We live around Charlotte, NC and we are looking for suggestions for a decent riding experience. We do not want anything too heavy. We were thinking of riding...

I have an 96 80 series and just totaled my 06 LX470 (second one). Torn between an 06/07 470 or 10/11 570. Does the technology make it harder to work on? I thought the 470 was simple enough for me to to fix most problems, worried the 570 will require too much computer tech to work on it at home.
This morning after I took my 2014 LX 570 to a 4 wheels alignment, I just noticed that the Easy Access Mode feature no longer works.
This icon is on the dashboard but when I turned off my engine, the vehicle no longer automatically lowers down. It has been working fine. So, here's what I...
Well I am currently (still) on the hunt for a 100 series, and one of the many things I am considering when I finally find the perfect one is slightly modernizing the audio. I know a lot of guys run a simple cassette adaptor, but I came across something I had not seen before that may be a great...
Would anyone happen to know where easy access to constant on 12v might be in an lx570?
I mostly drive my vehicle, during the week, 4 miles…then back…daily…which doesn’t charge the battery…which results in weak starts and dead battery after a while. So I trickle charge it once a week or so...
After 20+ days this summer traveling and camping with my DIY drawer system, I wanted to share it in more depth with the group as it has been a game changer for our family road trips. We’re not quite to “a place for everything and everything in it’s place”, but we can quickly access everything...
My 2003 got side swiped and the running board on the passenger side took a beating. I had been considering taking them off on both sides anyway - is this something a novice like myself can do? Or should I take it to a local shop?
Also, I have kids - so if the wife requires running boards any...
I have a 2006 GX470 with nav. also 2.5" lift. Really like it but the stereo/rear camera/map/etc. is terrible. If I add the separate A/C controls to get it out of the stereo system then what are my options for replacing the stereo?
I'm not an audiophile but just like tunes playing at a moderate...
I’m in Santa Fe and want to take the family on an off road trail that’s easy but provides some scenic views or has some hikes.
Any suggestions? I’ve seen Elk Mountain as an option and we are familiar with many of the forest roads off the road up to Ski Santa Fe that we drive by every year. We...
I'm looking to make my Cruiser better but stay relatively close to stock. What are some simple modifications or hacks y'all have installed or done to the inside or outside of your LC/LX
Think of things any beginner wrench turner could do, and let's hear them
Here's some common headlight bulb mods on the interwebs used by many other cars. I've not seen it discussed here so thought I'd share some knowledge. I personally haven't done this, but have tried to do LED upgrades. But the AFS on the LX models don't make retrofitting bulbs with large...
I’ve been looking for sliders but had no idea what direction I wanted to go. The one thing I did know though is that I am not going to be doing any crazy rock crawling with my LC. Eventually I spotted this post from @pjess50 and knew those were the sliders I wanted.
I contacted...
How easy are these to alter the odometer on? I'm searching and finding very odd mileage inconsistencies of two vehicles. One has the last lexus service record in 12/30/11 at 125k miles and now its for sale 5.5 years later at 129k miles? it just seems fishy. I havent run a car fax on it yet...
