now that I have the OME stock height done and will be getting the stabilizer done this afternoon ... bailing out to Tahoe with my girlfriend to enjoy ! Taking the nikon for better pics this time ! Hope all enjoy their weekend !
Might be another powder day up there.

:bounce:
 
maybe ... I know it's snowing right now ... fyi ... nothing like an airfueled pickle fork ... it came off lickity split... and the mechanic slapped the new one on ... $65... way worth that ! It steers great now , rides stiffer ( thats what she said , lol ) and just feels 1,000 times better... loading the back up of the LX for the trip tomorrow ...
 
Anyone tried the Slee brand suspension offerings?

I bet if you search here I bet tons of folks have ....I chose OME , just cause everyone spoke so highly of them... and they were right !

Yeah I love OME (have it on my 80) but I am thinking about a smaller Lexus as a family ride and want something more plush.

Can't go wrong with "Air Ride" for plush ...
 
well but as long as you don't smash through rocks with bags , they last a long time ...I'd think with a family ride that they'd be fine ...My 2 cents ...
 
No projects just a sweet spot by the seawall on our first beach day of the year

That was fast. Any significant damage?

Very quick. Ordered it Tuesday. Shipped Wednesday.

Nothing significant. There is a minor scuff on the lid. Like someone set something on it and it rubbed. It would probably buff out with a little wax if I cared. It will get scuffed as soon as I put it back there and load up gear.

The inside is brand new.

Cool, I've had one on my list for a while. I've only heard of one having any real damage, most are pretty minor like yours.
 
Changed oil. Since I don't drive it much so it has been a while since last change and the filter did not want to come off. This is how I discovered that the Toyota filter skin/shell(bigger Thailand one)is definitely thicker than Bosch or purlator filters because I had hell of time trying to crush it with channel lock for more grip. Never had that issue with after market filters.
 
Since I now have the OME stock height kit done ... taking my girl here tomorrow ....

I have to pop a screwdrive in the filter every time I change it no matter what filter I put on! Stopped that nonsense and laugh at the techs while they struggle with it at the shop now. ;)

Discovered this technique today after swearing up and down at that damn oil filter for nearly 45min.....got underneath with a hammer and a long screwdriver
tapped the base of the filter once (lip) and I was home free... it took less than a minute.
