Picked up a LX470 with the help if @Delta VS

In Idaho, hitched a ride with Simon.
It has 353k miles on it, lots of little things broken. Engine seems great, but has low oil pressure at warm idle.

first thing is to replace the timing belt and heater tees.
 
Went to @Delta VS to pick up the vehicle, Dave was nice enough to pick it up for me.

Simon, Ryan, Dave and Randy all helped get the rig road worthy.

New timing belt kit frim Aisin and new Heater tees were the main things.

Brother, this is exciting news considering you go wild with the Solvefunction 3D stuff for the 80s. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

vacuumed, steam cleaned and then used coil cleaner on the heater core.

I then designed a gasket for the cover and printed in tpu.


Removed one of the third row seat belts and plugged the hole.

Its nice because it makes noise and has a touch screen. Its mounted to an ashtray mount I made.


All of the engine codes are cleared. The reverse trigger fir rear view camera was tied into the wrong spot.

worked on the sunroof. Front drain was super kinked. I made a part to keep it un kinked.

Also wrestled with opening and closing the sun roof for several hours. only got it to open halfway. I had to disassemble the drivers side tube a d pull the cable out with two sets of pliers to get the system to close.

 
Passenger side mirror looked like crap and no longer folds in. So I replaced with one from ebay. Works great so far, not sure if the heating or auto dim works.

Its also not bronze like the drivers side. oh well.

Also the mirror adjustments haven't been working. Took the switch off and the mirror adjuster was unplugged! So now it tilts down when I reverse. How cool is that!
