Can't really compare an all terrain with a mud terrain. Mud terrain are traditionally terrible on the beach and soft sand, guess Im partial to the ST Maxx for driving on the beach.

Crack kills.....
We always joke about POs being on crack.

Repacked wheel bearings and did the diff and t-case oils again and lubed the driveshafts. Last time I used cheap stuff this time I went with synthetic Lucas and Red n Tacky for the wheel bearings. I noticed water in my passenger side drive hub from water crossings this year so I sealed with RTV this time.

Based on some news articles about the PO in the Hollywood area I am going to go out on a limb and say crack.
well after the flush the system transitions from L--N--H much faster, i cant tell if the ride has improved or not. It didnt feel harsh before.

AHC Fluid change
I followed instructions on the 100 forum and replaced the AHC fluid on my 2002 LX470. Check out the fluid! Looks like cappuccino color at the bottom and dark green up to. I used all 3L. Must buy specific Toyota/Lexus AHC fluid. Used a Turkey Baster to remove fluid from the reservoir...

Ehh you wouldn't want it. It was a bit moldy.
Yea, slightly concerning. Would not be fun to have a drug sniffing dog indicate on the car. Current plan is to slowly pull apart the interior and do a deep clean and make sure nothing else fell into any cracks.
Valve cover gaskets and those dang SPARK PLUG SEALS! Those things will make you say bad words.
I had a friend take his new to him Corvette to the police and asked them to have the dog check it out. They were happy for the training opportunity, and he had the piece of mind he wouldn’t get caught trying to explain it wasn’t his stash.

That's a fantastic idea.

had it inspected today and hope to have the title work/plates in the next day or so. 99 locked rear with fairly low miles. Runs great and clean interior. Unfortunately it originated in PA before I got it from the last owner in Charleston. Needless to say it’s getting a frame/suspension swap in the January timeframe. Should be interesting. Will become my DD.
Took the family loaded with gear to Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains near Palm Springs, CA. The War Wagon rode great but it dropped into Low immediately with all the added weight.
Flushed the AHC fluid using the great instructions of this forum. It was easy but I did make a bit of a mess in the driveway.
I think the springs are TIRED after 250k miles. I’m thinking about going with the Kings. Pressures are high front and rear currently. I suspect that going with the Kings springs will drop the rear below spec, but I plan to add skids and sliders which should help.
Wife would kill me if I posted a pic with her in it, so I have none with the War Wagon in action.

Would be great if you could document some of that. I've got a crusty '02 LX that i'd seriously consider doing a frame/suspension swap on down the road, but have no idea what the cost would look like.
