$300 for a $40 tensioner pulley... Damn! Oh well, glad you're going again.

@dnp why not just go back OEM upper control arm?

You can, but the advantages of the SPC UCAs are (a) the ball joint is replaceable independent of the UCA, and (b) the ball joint is adjustable (when you lift a 100, it's hard to get back to factory caster and camber specs.) The SPCs are adjustable, so you can dial in more of a "correct" alignment.

This describes it better than I can: Slee - IFS Suspension Arms

I get that part. I thought SPC was having early failures. I will have to be making this decision in next year or so....

Bit more than that. Part and labor sounds about right actually. I'd replace the belt too.

@wct49 - is this one of yours:

2004 Lexus LX470

If so, was it an AHC delete project?

Believe that its one of ours. Guy works at Utility Trailer.

$150 in parts (pulley and belt) and $130 in labor, plus 9.25%tax (wtf Chattanooga).

 

[wngrog]

plus 9.25%tax (wtf Chattanooga).

Id pay 9.25% to have that downtown.

Is there a running list somewhere for a 250-300k service? I know I want to do starter and ac compressor because they are both original, plus all the timing belt, water pump, etc. (last done at 150k) What else needs to be done? I'm on the fence about dumping all that money into this or moving into a newer 100 or something different.

Got the TJM snorkel installed tonight.

Great design. Great look.

s*** install instructions.

3 hours but can do #2 in 1 hour.

Needs the fender pulled at the top and its cake. We dicked around 2 hours coming to this conclusion.

Thanks to all that helped.

Let it be noted that every person but Jerry rubbed on the BBC at some point.

Funny how that works.....

They don't pay state income tax in TN, just a jacked up sales tax (which would suit me!)

Repair what you have. You will be getting some else's problems to fix.

Gauging interest in a new tailgate cover


Worth a look....sub 200.

Yep, 7% state and up to 2.5% local, but I'm ok with it to not have an income tax. Plus hookers and drug dealers gotta buy stuff too, so we gettin' it from erbody.

Breaking down was almost a good enough excuse to move there.
