Replaced passenger side lower control arm assembly. Front bushing was super squeaky and ball joint was shot. Also installed new front shocks while I was in there. Silent & tight now!

Drove by the Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona

Did some storm watching in the high country

Drove some trails not all were a win

Went to the Petrified Forest

This was the weekend of what is that and is that really a Lexus

Looks like you took it real easy, you must be an Eagles fan Regardless I love that pic and how your part-time front hubs look

Surprisingly not an Eagle fan but I was there. The 911 Memorial made a bigger impact personally.

Ya hard to believe Lexus come with locking hubs as the story sometime goes
15psi on a 275/70-18

I made the rear cargo power outlet always hot. I had another matching plug that plugs into the back of the outlet in my parts bin.
I ran 14AWG wires from my Blue Sea fuse box through the driverside firewall and down the doorjamb channels to the outlet. The original plug was removed and is now unused.

Today I removed the body from the chassis. Because I will do a body swap with a damaged Land Cruiser 100. The new chassis with the driveline and engine are still fine and only have 120k miles.

Disconnecting the body from the chassis was pretty easy. But it was really hard to lift the body, even with a forklift. The body needs to be lifted over the transmission, so on this height it became really unstable on four jacks. But we managed to take it of safely. I will also make a thread about the body swap with further information.

Out of interest can you estimate the body weight?

Cool pics! What % tint do you have on your LX?

Thanks, not sure it was done at the dealer. Even though it looks dark in the pics it is a legal shade.

condenser fan. Phils idea. My 75$ and a little more cleaning. Thanks for the idea Phil

I am guessing about 2200lbs complete with the interior, and the weight is mainly in the center where the seats are mounted.

A little cleaning? That is OCD clean! Nice job!

it got colder faster, 3 minutes to vent temp of 39 or so from the drivers side vent (inside) it's 92 out, feels like 98.

thank you Sir. I'm ocd enough that that wiring job looks crappy. But I stop when it gets too hot out. I ran out of small shrink sleeves and wanted it done, until another day.

I bet it would make a big difference while idling in bumper to bumper traffic here in LA.

Been getting tootsie roll candy with every packaged order for several years from Landcruiser Phil, even the local pick up orders. First generation window socks, saving the tootsie rolls for an emergency.

A nice surprise indeed
