Build The Guzzler - 2009 LX570

[grinchy]

Added another tpms sensor to my canister. Now up to three in there.
Pretty sure the other two are new last summer , so may be the last additions for a while.
The 2” can appears to fit three. I’m not sure another body will fit in there.
Advice to future can makers, use a 2.5”.

Put on spring rubbers on the front springs to attempt to fix the soft see saw ride since I put the bumper and winch on.

They work a treat And completely resolved the issue with see saw and bouncy. Soft mode is available again. No issues with getting to low mode.

Size for front is B and B. Rear would be B+, B, or two B.

I’m considering a set of the softer compound for the rear.

<edit: these spring rubbers are a strong recommend for Armored up LX570 with bumpers and winch. Only $40 and get your ride back to where it was. If you have a steel bumper and heavy winch I suggest the next rubber hardness (black)>

Been a couple of years since you added these? How are they holding up?

There was a new member who retired from a spring manufacturing place on the LX570 foto thread. I wonder if he knows someone that can make a optimal spring.

Spring rubbers doing great. I didn’t get an alignment after I put them on and torched an air of tires though. Not the robbers fault.

I do wish we had a heavier spring option or two. I’ve considered several times buying some front shock bodies and some Eibach figuring out the lower perch.
