I have been lurking and reading through this forum for a little over a year now. Decided it is finally time to join. Bought a 2014 LX570 at the tail end of 2021 and it has been absolutely bulletproof. Vehicle is mostly stock except the following: 1. New "TRD Style Grille" with amber lights. 2...

Hello all. I picked up an '04 about 4 months ago, I've been lurking here since then and I figured it was time to introduce myself. 'Barb' is a California cruiser, at 187,000 when I bought her. Since then I've been fixing little odds and ends all over with help from this forum. First thing...

Hi ! Thank you for having me in this forum. I've already picked up some good tips and recs for my 06LX470 (211k young, black and his name is Tim). I'm here in Orange County Ca and I'm hoping there's a local 100-series truckers group that meet here. My goal is to retire in 3 years and travel to...

Good morning everyone, just picked up an 89 fj62. Way late to the party, but wanted one for a while. Started calling on trucks about 6 months ago, and finally found an original truck with good factory paint on Facebook. Only it was in NH, and I'm in South Texas. Called the owner, he seemed...

I just purchased a 2004 Lexus lx470. It's got 177,000 mi on it it was very well maintained. It's hard loaded even with the infrared camera. I have poked around and I have not found the definitive answer. First question the power steering seems too stiff and it doesn't really want to return to...

Hello everyone! I'm a former LX owner on the hunt for another for my small family. We are in Utah and just welcomed a baby girl to the family and want something capable, bulletproof and luxurious comfortable on and off road, what else better than a LX570? We are looking for a 2011-2015...

Just joined the site and I look forward to the help and information I'm sure I'll find. I'm currently doing my due diligence on what OBD2 cable I should purchase for the Techstream software. I'm not looking to spend a boat load of money for it, but I am willing to avoid buying twice. A little...

Recently purchased a 2010 LX570 and used all the valuable insights here to help guide my decision. Now I'll try to pay it back/forward by contributing when appropriate. My first order of biz is to replace the blown rear subwoofer without "investing" $600-800+ for the whole assembly (new). I've...

New member here that just picked up a GX460. I'm at that age (almost 65) where my main priority was to maximize comfort. So I traded in a perfectly good 2021 Tacoma on a new 2023 GX460. Plot twist. I made the mistake of letting my wife drive the GX. And it seems she decided she wants it...

Hi everyone, I just registered and wanted to introduce myself. My name's Jeff and I have a 2009 GX470. I'm pretty much brand new to the whole 4x4/offroading world, so I'm looking forward to learning a lot here. I'll try to get a picture of my GX posted soon. I recently pulled the trigger on a...

Howdy all, Just joined as this seems to be one of the few places on the internet where one can find information on the Toyota 3L diesel engine. Not new to diesels myself, I'm a glutton for GM 6.5 diesel punishment and run a 2003 VW ALH TDI as well. I'm a big fan of the older, more simple...
