I just noticed your post. What are you talking about? Everything is adjusted perfectly. I just had a total rebuild done on my transmission by an expert. You may be referring to what I said about her not jumping hard off the line. That is due to the larger tires on stock gears and the hundreds of extra pounds I have added. I am sure everyone on here feels my pain haha
That pain of offroad it's better on-road it sure ain't what it used to be.

Hey guys I thought my build thread needed an update. First of all my tuners and installers said not to go with an AEM (piggyback at least maybe a stand alone could work) they have bad support and they don't know if they could get another one to work. I guess I just got lucky (;
Secondly, I just got my transmission rebuilt and she shifts beautifully. I made my guy look at this thread :Improving Transmission Shifting and increase my valve pressure (as I understand it at least). I had huge lag in between gears and we seem to have discovered something.
My valve pressure was set at the lowest setting (of the three settings). My theory is that in order for the LX to be "smother and more refined" Lexus put mine on the lowest. I am thinking this is what happened because as far as I know everyone else who has done this mod were in LC's and started at 2 and went to 1. My lag was bad to say the least. I got the same positive results as everyone else on the thread so I won't go into details but I would have to agree with one of the posters who said that it could be increased even more. It is no where as good as a modified valve body or shift kit but I am very pleased.
Anyways a while back Luke from 4x4 Labs asked me to post a picture of my rear bumper because I was either the first or second person to get the offset rear winch. I thought ya'll would get a kick out of where I took the pic.
