What are you doing with your old 865's?

My anxiously awaited service manuals showed up today. And, installed replacement front swaybar ends.
While I was under there, realized my passenger side CV boot is torn and the driver side is leaking at the clamp and starting to make a huge mess. One more thing to add to the list. Looks like i'll be doing CV boots at the same time I do wheel bearings ad lower ball joints.

Got my @sleeoffroad rear bumper and my Ironman Front Bumper and 12k winch installed. Also was able to bolt on my @TrekboxX tailgate cover!
So far so good. BlueDevil worked I guess?
Hasn’t leaked yet since and the same part has been bone dry (I wiped off the area clean after pouring the solution).
Swap it. I swapped a locked rear from a 99 LC i to my 98 LX. It bolts right up and low range off road makes a complete wiring kit that makes it plug and play. You dont even need a controller.
Needless to say this was the best mod as far as the wheeling capabilities go.

@OEMGUY0720 Looks good. Still curious on long term. I've heard of other seals going after stop leak products, but who knows if that was the culprit or a coincidence. I'll have to look into bluedevil now. Thanks
I am as curious as you all are. Will update after 30 days.
New lights!
Worked on my sunroof which stuck while on vacation last summer. Sanded the plastic rail pointed to in the picture below that had become rough, added some silicone grease and worked it back and forth until running smooth again. Realized that if open during a rain, the gearing would get wet, so should be dried out as soon as possible. Drains flushed with hot water. Will try to open more often!

This is kind of off subject but this access plate that is picture, I have a question. I have had my LX parked on an incline with front downhill for 1.5 weeks. Lots of rain. I pull it out of the driveway and a bunch of water pours out of this access hole/plate. Is this normal? All fluids stabilized as far as I can tell. The water was not 100% clear. A little brownish tinted, but no smell. Did not taste
That access plate is removable and behind it is the flywheel and torque converter. That area is sealed from any fluid. The oil leak normally found in this area is caused by the Rear Main Seal (it is where the engine meets the transmission). I can’t really tell what you are referring but the closest I can think of the source of that water is it may have came from the rain and may have gotten stuck somewhere and when finally leveled it poured in your garage floor.This is kind of off subject but this access plate that is picture, I have a question.

Got them from this seller on ebay: faxonautolit
Security Measure
They even refunded me the extra shipping when I ordered the Electrical Wiring Manual separately.
Did this months ago, late post.
I wished Toyota/Lexus had done this pre-sale back in 06. I finally fitted the evaporator with a proper drain tube away from those hard AC lines so it wouldn’t rot in rust. Spare clear hose and a $3 90° plastic elbow at HomeDepot.

Replaced the old jack on the left with the new one on the right. I can't believe I waited so long. Also picked up a 1/2 inch impact driver.
I'm not normally a Kobalt tool guy but read a good review on this driver and went for it saving a $100 over the Dewalt version.

So I need suspension. I figured this out the hard way. Beached it in a moment of stupidity, hate the air suspension currently.
