Did you have the head NAV unit under the passenger seat?It was pretty easy. My ‘02 LX470 came with a 15 pin connector. The new radio came with connectors for the standard Toyota plugs. I bought male Toyota plugs and wired them to a Metra adapter that plugs to the 15 pin connector. Now everything is plug and play.
This is the radio I used, bought it last year though

Ready to get into the same, finished installing winch to the bumper yesterday night.
That rake looks crazier than Ikarus' and his he said is a 1-3/4" difference. That definitely looks way more than an inch.View attachment 2088427
Finally did the TBs and adjusted. It looks offnin this picture, but it’s about 1” of rake. I’m happy.

The springs will settle some over the first couple of weeks. My 864’s sure did. Wait a couple weeks, then see where it settles in. Rake will be fine. Too much t-bar without a diff drop and you’ll get cv vibration.Installed some Old Man Emu 2865 rear coil springs and cranked my front torsion bars. All other suspension components left stock.
A few more pictures in my build thread.

Important Numbers (Driver / Passenger)
Old Front: 18.75" / 19"
T Bar Turns: 7 / 5
New Front: 20" / 20"
Front Increase: 1.25" / 1.00"
Front Wheel Suspended: 23.25" / 23.25"
Droop: 3.25" / 3.25"
Old Rear: 20" / 20.25"
New Rear: 21.75" / 21.75"
Rake: 1.75" / 1.75"
Important Question:
Is my 1.75" rake too much for daily driving? Will I see anything negative come from this? We test loaded the back with gear and the rake becomes closer to 1.25" as the rear springs compress.
I could crank the torsion bars a little more but I really want to avoid CV boot issues.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Haha. I'm not sure if it's the composition of the photo or what but that rake looks nuts. Like, 3" nuts.That rake looks crazier than Ikarus' and his he said is a 1-3/4" difference. That definitely looks way more than an inch.
Mines got major flutter on the highway, makes people think its open. Were you following a write up you found or just replacing weatherstripping?About to attempt to fix my hood flutter. The auto body foam has a 10 second work time, so its gonna get sporty.
I'm definitely in the same boat. After one week on the new rear springs, I'm down from 1.75" of rake to 1.5". If it stays there, I'm happy. If it eventually settles to 1.25", even better.Yeah I know. I measured it numerous times when adjusting the TBs. You should have seen it before, it was waaay worse. I’m going to drive it around for a week or so and remeasure and adjust as needed. There’s plenty of turns left where I indexed them so it won’t be too big of an issue.
Put the rubber things on before you put it on the truck. That was left out of instructions and I can’t get bottom nuts on
Also, install the lights before you put the bumper on and skip the bolt that goes in (drill) through the light hole. 6 is plenty
So this unit is no longer availableHow did you find this replacement? Trying to figure out one to replace it w/ but can't find or I just don't know how to select one. Thanks!
