undercarriage

After 8 great years with my lx470 the wife wants me to replace it so im doing the logical thing and looking at lx570s. Besides from a transmission failure everything else on my 470 has been replaced due to rust since I'm in the north east. For the next one I want to start with a fresh zero...

Looking for a 06-07 100 series that is in decent shape. Under 175k miles is fine with good history and big things fixed already, but really looking for under 150k if possible. Priorities: - Good service records/history - Clean undercarriage (not looking for perfect but not interested in...

I'm in the market for an older LX that I’m going to use as a project car. I want to get it cleaned up, detailed and use for the next 5-8 years for occasional weekend trips with the family. I don’t see myself putting more than 5k miles on it annually. I found a 2008 LX locally with 120k miles...

I’ve been trying to diagnose an undercarriage rattle for a bit. I’v suspected it’s related to the AHC system for a while. I just discovered what I think is crucial information: the rattling stops when I put the AHC in high mode. When in neutral, I hear a hollow rattling/clanking when I drive...

Hello all, Been on hunt all over forums, fb marketplace, private sellers and dealers for an LC100 or LX 470. I found a low mileage 2004 lx 470 with the following pictures foe the undercarriage. Need someone experienced opinion if you see anything. It looks like rust is surface and on the...

Saw this 06’ lx470 undercarriage looks too good to be true only 130k miles. Almost looks painted over. What do you think? Appreciate any help! Car is from Wisconsin

I’m looking at this one with 120K miles. It’s exceptionally clean but this is the pic of the undercarriage. I can’t get to it in person so thought I’d ask you experts….deal breaker at $18-$22K?

I'm looking at purchasing an 01 LX, and think I found one for a reasonable price near me, in what looks to be a decent condition, sans operable AHC, which to me isn't as important. It's 330k miles, with an asking price of $4,900. Now, I'm relatively handy and have worked on my '99 Isuzu Rodeo...

Took awhile but it looks pretty good for 242k miles. The front bash plate is not looking good. What do you guys like for a front bash plate on a 06 LX? Slee aluminum?

My question is less about whether or not I should coat my undercarriage with something like fluid film before the snows come… it’s more about what it’s like to work on the car afterwards. Will I be dealing with some sticky residue or other such mess once spring comes and it’s time to get under...

Much appreciate your input on the following: Referral to a shop in SF Bay Area (preferably north bay / Marin) who can spray the underside. I am beginning to see surface rust in many areas., Recommend a specific type (or brand) of undercoating Vehicle is a 2013 LX570. California car...

Hardcore cleaning today. Figured why not see what’s under there….😳

Hello! First post here so hopefully not doing it all wrong or breaking any forum rules/etiquette... I'm thinking of buying an LC 100, year 2000, with 185k miles for $6,400, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what's too much undercarriage rust (or even if it's just normal rust). The body...

I am looking at a 2009 Land Cruiser and it looks like rust may have gotten a hold of the frame, but I'm not versed enough to know for sure. Anyone let me know from the pics of any real issues to the undercarriage besides just surface rust?

Hi there, I brought this beast out from Maryland, luckily not much rust, as it was originally from the SW anyway. Since buying, I've replaced the tires and battery, done what I could with the undercarriage rust, probably needs a new starter. It has aftermarket seats and a new stereo. Spare tire...

Anyone have a line on an individual or shop willing to do a comprehensive fluid film or woolwax undercarriage treatment (done right, inside the framerails etc.?) Thanks in advance.

Hey all, This may be a dumb question, so openly mock me if appropriate. I'm looking at a 2014 LX570 and got pictures of the undercarriage to check for frame rust. It looks clean, but I noticed a long weld seam on the frame and that feels... odd? Would love someone smarter than me to take a...

I’m inviting any and all wild speculation about the metallic rattle/clank that occurs when I drive over rutted roads or healthy potholes. Basically, if the bump is big enough, I’ll get the noise. And, unfortunately, the bump does not need to be too big. I was confident that it was the sway bar...

Hey guys, Got a 2001 LC and would like to prep the undercarriage against rust. Winters are not severe in Mid-TN but roads occasionally salted. Any undercoat/spray products recommended for a Southern truck? Experience with shops or coatings? Frequent washes enough? Thanks!

We’ve been looking for a GX460 for my wife, and I’ve found one that checks all the right boxes (color, price, mileage, etc.) except living it’s first two years in Indiana. It's a 2012 with approximately 160,000 miles, regular approximate 10,000 mile oil changes according to myLexus service...
