writing to introduce myself--new owner of 364k 2000 Lexus LX470, based out of Winston. I was a member of the club back in the mid 90s when I had a cherry FJ40 with 65k on the clock, and now back in the world of Japanese truck ownership, after spending far too much time with German cars. Purchased it from owner of a Toyota service place in Chattanooga, TN right after Christmas, drove out there with one way rental after and drove the beast back to NC. It is a solid unit, and trying to maintain it for much longer. I know a little, but just enough to get me in trouble. I flushed the AHC fluid, pulled off the roof rack and the side step things (forgetting name), did assessment on Toyota tech stream, consulted with another guy on ih8mud from Texas who has some original AHC parts, and he said basically I should just crank the torsion bars a bit (he had very specific instructions) and go from there. Suspension was loose on way back from Tennessee, and has since gotten way too stiff. feel little bumps in the road. thinking torsion bar adjustment, maybe need front shocks or rear springs, hopefully not globes. There is definitely a left manifold exhaust leak, so I have contemplated getting some JBL headers and putting those on. Lots of maintenance history, engine does not burn oil, and here I am. If there are any other 100 series owners close I would love to consult or do the HAMOM thing and get some advice on basic maintenance thoughts going forward, as it has been a while since I have turned a wrench without watching you tube prior. Any feedback appreciated, thanks very much!
