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.

Another oil change, 266xxx. Might have missed recording the last one too.

@Jacqpot came by and we did the oil change and AHC flush and fill. Thanks @tbisaacs for the fluid!

Wrench slipped off a rear bleeder, I dropped it, the hose came off, and I got a nice $30/qt AHC bath. Spa day fulfilled!

Had to pull the Ahc skids off my sliders (16 bolts each side), to get access to the bleed nipples.

Couldn’t see the fluid level is reservoir well, so just filled it between bleeds until it came out the fill. After done put in low and pushed out the extra from the fill. That was messy. Then sucked 200ml out with a syringe and am going to run with that level. My driveway will recover I hope, it’s just mineral oil after all.

I hear it’s good for your skin!
