Disabling the AHC and AVS systems, no warning lights. (3 Viewers)

Super excited to see how this all works out. Those of us north of the 49th parallel only get the Lexus version of the 200. Relatively low km LX570's are reasonably easy to find in the Vancouver area.

Not all of us are ”stuck” with the LX

I have stuff on order, stay tuned.

I,m very interested in finding a way to get around the on board computer of the LX570. I found out the hard way about the on board computer. If someone were to ask me what I thought the LX570 was lacking clearance in the rear. I have this area that’s only 10 minutes from my house and the LX failed miserably. I went to last and the very first vender I talked with told me it wasn,t a problem to add an after market suspension system on my LX570. I must have asked him 10 times if he was positive? After I paid almost $15,000 for a great system I was told by the shop that the computer will not allow you to add after market shocks and springs. I don,t claim to know the terms of parts that make up the suspension which is terrible for someone that has logged more than 40 years of off-roading to the most remote places I could find. Lucky would be an understatement. I would like to share with you guys what I was able to get done and hopefully it can help you reach your goal with your LX570? I have to find the receipt from the shop that did the work.

It might be useful to clarify something.

I'd separate AHC from the departure angle issue that is not exactly unique to the LX570. 200-series generally have a long rear overhang. You may find that once you make the modification over to a static suspension, that you may be no better off. Perhaps even worse off.

AHC has the ability to lift 80mm+ in the rear. That's more than a 3" lift. It's a constant height lift regardless of weight in the rear. Putting the dampers in sport will also better control the amount of low speed suspension compression coming off a ledge.

Static suspensions aren't exactly known to be able to lift much above 3". Generally less. Then consider the additional loss of clearance with gear in the back.

Where we at?

Where we at?

Most of the parts are here, need to find time to install everything.

Have you tried unplugging anything else at all or still just the initial test?

Subscribed. Think we are on a major breakthrough re 570.

Just the initial test, but as you can see I'm committed to doing this.

Where are you located?

I'm going to wait to hear from bacalis to see if his errors go away.

If they do, I'll remove as much as I can.

Have you verified everything yet? I was told last year this would be no problem at all and as it turned out the salesman for Icon just wanted to make a sale. When I showed up at the shop that was going to do the work I was told then that it couldn,t be done but they wanted to install everything else. So all I have left to do is add the shocks and springs. Do you mind letting me know if you were able to get around the on board computer? Thank you Steve

Subscribed. Might want to reach out to shops in the GCC as they do this every day.

 

[OregonLC]

So... has anyone done the full mechanical delete yet? If so, how does she perform?

 

[turbo8]

I should be installing this around Christmas.

 

[HGB]

Merry Christmas!

I started today, I might need longer brake lines and a diff drop.

 

[turbo8]

Does anyone know who sells extended brake lines for the 200 series? I need a line that is 1-2" longer.

Should have gone with total chaos UCA’s. I had cam burg and the joints failed prematurely and they did not have enough caster built into them.

Hopefully they have enough caster, I'm not really trying to raise this up much.

They both use FK uniballs, Camburg uses 1.5" vs Total Chaos 1".

Living in Alaska probably has something to do with the life span of the joints, I live in the desert.
