Hey everyone! I just bought a 2002 LX470. I'm curious if there is a way to bypass the AHC so that I can drive in high mode all the time. Is this bad for the suspension? Thank you!

Being in H all the time will increase wear significantly on many parts, particularly the CV axles. Be prepared to pay for this cool look with worse ride/handling and more frequent replacement of parts.
Home made lx470 AHC over ride
So I finally bought a 2005 LX470, really wanted a land cruiser but they are a lot more expensive. Anyway, I didn't want the AHC suspension but now that I have the LX I want a way to keep in in High if I want to. Researched and all I found was a Slee over ride switch which they no longer make. I...

Hey so I followed the tutorial that guy posted on YouTube. I cut the red/white wire
And yellow/ red. I believe I cut the wrong wires because the ahc still went down after 20mph. Anyways, after cutting the wires I reconnected the battery and saw a spark from the negative terminal. When I started her I heard an abnormal whirring noise. Drove her around the block to find out that it still lowered after 20mph. The next morning I went to start my car and it cranks and starts for a second and then dies. No lights for the immobilizer are on.
I spliced those wires back together and it still does not start. I think I blew a fuse. Anyone have any idea what I should do?

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?
(I'm sorry, I can't resist)
Don't go around cutting wires in your vehicle, just because you saw someone on YouTube do it, without doing your research, and understanding what you're doing?
Visually inspect your fuses, make sure you properly reconnected your wires. I dunno cause I have a cruiser, but don't they have little override modules to take all the guess work out of this?
If you think you blew a fuse, I would check your fuse boxes under the hood and near the drivers kick panel.
