Repacked wheel bearings and replaced brakes all around. I call that a good fun Saturday. Oh and new fuel filter too.

Any reason these wouldn’t work on an LX470?
The EXACT SAME thing happened to mine when I got mine done at my local Firestone shop. I paid for the 'lifetime alignment' and got this. Plus my caster was out of spec. Morons.

Picked up something to throw on the new crossbars...
Few things I got completed right before our trip to Mineral Bluff, Ga for the week.
AHC Fluid Flush
New wipers front and rear
New air filter
New YotaMD key fob (This upgrade is a MUST!!)
Oil Change
And last but certainly not least, Gamivit Rack! I have some tweaking to do as I only got (4) bolts in (rack to towers) and didn't get the fairing installed yet. Didn't have time before my trip so was hoping to install while up here but suppose to rain every day except Monday so we'll see if we have some downtime so I can do that. Want to take advantage of the only day of our trip without rain!
Overall, very happy with the quality of this rack and it made all the difference in our trip as I was able to toss a couple plano totes up there and had enough room in the back for my ARB fridge, double stroller and all of our clothes and the kids weren't squished with luggage all around them like last trip.

I’m not sure if the corner lights are the same between LC & LX. Definitely check fitment.
Finally pulled the trigger on a RTT. Went with the Smittybilt XL. Unfortunately it included the cover for the smaller RTT in the box. Time to see how good Smittybilt's customer service is!
It does store nicely on the wall for now though.

I got to see firsthand just how badly I need to clean stuff up under my hood... while replacing a starter in a parking lot as snow was starting to come down. Classic Colorado move.
I'd say it was a little overdue though...

Swapped the busted bumper on my 99 for a much better bumper off a 2004 from another mud member. Looks much better!
Enlighten us of your wise ways. Some of us simple beings still carry them in the cabin.
1.5 inch 3/8 bolts, washers, and wingnuts. If youre not afraid to drill through the factory bars. A little wind noise but something I'll live with. Better than putting mud in the cabin after using them

Looks good, on my list...
The LX got a set of 295/70/18 STT Pros
So far so good. They are quieter than the set of BFG mud terrains I had on my tundra, they are as smooth as my all-terrains were, and I am going to get them on the interstate this afternoon to see how well they are balanced. Thge guys at Discount Tire had a time getting them to balance and I haven't gotten them over 60mph yet, we shall see. Still gotta do some heating and bending of the wheel wells or wherever they are rubbing. I am going to look today...
Motor mounts, trans mounts, and idler pulley. Kicked my butt. Feel like i was in a fight.
BTW: Im looking for the frame weight thingy. If you have one and want to get rid of it please pm me.
