Very nice find indeed, interior looks really clean. Nice set up too.

Also replaced PCV valve. A little discrepancy on the part number but both seemed to check out. Original was 12204-30830 but when ordered 30810 also said fit an '09. New one didn't have green.

Just FYI, the PCV valve you removed (38030) is incorrect for your LC - it is for Sequoia and Tundra with Flex-Fuel engines (PCV Valve - Toyota (12204-38030) | Toyota Parts). Good thing you replaced it

Thanks for the info, that's interesting and odd.

In case you are OCD like me, I couldnt find the part number for that clip, but part # 61617-42040 works as a replacement

Ah ha, I am! Thanks for that!

I test drove that rig a month or two ago! Was a Lee Summit MO guy selling it for his fiancé I believe. I liked it but preferred tan interior. Good deal though, and outside of the spoiler damage which was very minor, I was more concerned with the little ding in the tailgate that started to rust. Still a minor minor issue, rest of the rig looked near new. Congrats!

After AHC lift wanted to put in spacers in the rear. Installed 30mm spacers today. Grabbed these Dobinson's off of Amazon. Haven't looked at pressure readings yet, just happy to get something done in a small window of free time. Removed sway bar link and sway bar bracket, also lower shock. Still needed spring compressors for passenger side. Driver side sagged enough so didn't need compressors.

Catching my thread up. Lots of stuff done. AHC lift and copying many with new 305/55 Falken Wildpeaks naturally wanted an alignment. That turned into new lower control arms as bolt were too rusted to loosen for adjustment. Camelback Toyota had to handle this, lots of cutting. Now have to rebalance tires as Discount didn't do a great job the first time.

Also added some extra tint to the rear windows, new passenger side running board wiring harness, LED bulbs everywhere. AHC fluid flush in the future, oil change coming, maybe have front bumper repainted and have the cracked spoiler fixed.

I'm a bit biased, but I like it!

Thanks! Admittedly yours prompted me to go this route. Our 470 was grey so was wanting a silver one, but that would just be stalking.

Did you do anything to the headlight bulbs?

 

[92LXAZ]

@HGB The PO had already put LEDs in the low beams, don't know the details.

Many of us LX owners had had success with Hikari LEDS - Headlight Retrofit for 2008 - 2011 LX570

Hah, we traded colors. My LX470 was white. With proper 305 ground pounders as well.

Yep I have that thread bookmarked. I'll probably do the high beams down the road with the Hikari's mentioned there.

Haha no way, I remember your 100. I had 305s as well, but on RW wheels. Yes 305s are proper.

Just ordered a set of these. After putting on a rear bumper I think it cant hurt. Thanks for putting in the details, will get a spring compressors ahead of time.

Hit a small mileage milestone on our Christmas road trip to North Dakota. Also installed a dash cam for the trip. Will post a pseudo trip report and dash cam details soon.

Really liking those snow pics! She's like a white rabbit in snow.

How's the tires working out for you?

Got anymore pics of that rear carrier? I assume it swings out also?
