Dear Fellow 100 series lovers,
I own a 05 LX470 which is at 280k kilometers. When I got it, the previous owner already had the AHC deleted. It was on conventional LC Shocks with AHC springs. Recently I replaced all shocks and springs with OEM LC100 new shocks and springs(used). Still on AHC Torsion bar (Still I wonder how it is not sagging at front end). After going through a Ton of AHC delete/ not posts here I'm still searching for a AHC undo delete post. I really like the smooth ride of AHC and would like to restore the AHC system. Despite replacing to new LC shocks and spring, I still feel every crack/ stones/ interlocks into the cabin. I'm not sure Non-AHC Torsion bars would help. I even replaced front and rear sway bar bushings, cushions etc. Still I don't feel the ride comfort is par with a Lexus. I don't know what is the present condition of the existing AHC components in the truck such as accumulators/pumps/lines etc. I will attach some photos. If anyone has attempted any AHC resurrection like this, please guide me the components and $$$ to be used. I would welcome any related guides/ posts/ links. I would also welcome the alternative comments. I do a minor amount of Beach/ Sand Off-roading but not looking for LIFT/ attachments etc. Cheers to all LX470/100 dudes out here.
