Hello all. Not new to the forum or Lexus trucks. I have a few rigs, including an LX470, and recently picked up a 2021 GX460 with 40k miles to use as my NYC daily. I plan to keep this one simple, comfortable, and reliable, but I have a few questions. First is CarPlay. Since the ’21 didn’t come with it, I bought the Phoenix Automotive Android setup. Before I tear into the dash, I’m curious what everyone’s experience has been. Any regrets, quirks, install tips, microphone/call quality issues... Read more

My LJ78 has a pretty significant stink bug stance (rides high at the rear) and I'd like to correct it by lifting the front to match. I currently have what I believe to be OME standard load springs in the front with 30mm spacers and OME medium load springs in the rear. Ride height measured from wheel center to wheel arch is 22-3/8" rear (57cm) and 20-3/8" front (52cm). I'd like to get around 1" (2.5cm) of additional lift in the front, have found some 50mm spacers which gets me close but... Read more

I did an at home brake bleed on my 1999 LX 470 automatic with 300k+ miles. Dealer maintained and they take good care of it but quoted $600 for brake and power steering flush, so decided to do it...

Looking for ideas as I’m getting ready to paint my 68 Charger. Yes I do have a plan…While I’m planning a single color (metallic Gun Metal Grey) with the stripe on the back with Black vinyl top. I am exploring every possible idea and would love to see what yall have and creative things you’ve done with the body lines. Solo colors, pinstriping, two-tone. Drop your pics below!

Stellantis recalling more than 300,000 Ram trucks for braking system defect Story by MATT OTT 2 min read Stellantis is recalling more than 300,000 Ram Heavy Duty pickup trucks because a faulty part could cause certain braking and tracking systems to fail. The Netherlands-based automaker said the hydraulic control unit on the trucks is prone to failure, which can cause the anti-lock brake, electronic stability control and traction control systems to not work properly. Stellantis said... Read more

So when I blew up the block on my 18 Si, it blasted the starter, the block and also the crank position sensor. It blasted it so hard that it shattered the plugs and snapped the three wire connectors. With the new block, I obviously replaced the sensor. I’m not buying a whole new wire harness! But….. I still need to locate the correct connector. Can anyone help? I’ve been looking for hours and cannot seem to find any wire schematics or diagrams or even what the connector is called. Please let... Crank Position Sensor Wiring

Curious as to the experience others are having using a Grizzl-e Charger (Ultimate 48) to charge a Gravity. When charging at home, the car accepts the hard wired Level 2 charge (40A breaker, charging derated to 32A, car set to 80% max) and when complete, stops charging. It is at this point that the charger displays an ERROR CODE of 'Relay Stuck'. This ERROR will persist until the car is unplugged (or breaker reset) and then the charger will clear the fault in a minute or two of being... Read more

Hi folks Took this brake set off at around 20k miles with mostly highway driving so would be a shame to keep uselessly in my garage. Front and rear rotors with mated pads and their shims. Throwing...

I must have over tightened the steering box but because the shaft is pushed down enough to see shiny metal by the Pitman arm shaft. I loosened it back off. That mistake aside, I have a leak now by...

Looking to buy a privately owned, well-documented 2016 to 2021 GX460. Stock or lightly modded is fine. Black on black preferred but open on color. Under 110k miles. Full service history matters more to me than a low odometer. Coolant valley plate and water pump records are a plus. Based in North, NJ. Will drive anywhere in the Northeast to see the right truck. Serious buyer, ready to move when the right one shows up. DM me.

Hi, Members. I'm looking for mounting hardware for the 440 emblems that attach to the air grabber hood vents. Mine are currently being held on by tape. I think these were attached at the factory with plastic sleeves (which I have 1 of 4) and nuts (which I have none). I don't see any aftermarket options. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

I did the disk conversion a few years back and drove w/o a parking brake for years. I really missed it and was gearing up to do the SuperDuty rear swap to get the p. brake, but started reading a post...

Saw an article that Bring a Trailer removed a recent Corvette Grand Sport because the company (Marshall Goldman) that listed the car had one of its owners set up an alternate account to drive up the bidding on its own auction. Reports allege (don’t know if this is true) that is a very well known car guy influencer that is an owner of Marshall Goldman and was the one propping up the bids. Anybody know anything more about this?

Anyone know the story on these? I assume they were only available outside the USA. What years? Can a US 80 be retro-fitted with one. Any sources? I have only seen 2 pictures.

I am searching for my 71 duster that was stolen from my land in Rosamond CA. It was stored in my trailer which I believe was the real target of the theft. If anything shows up that is that green or you think it may be it’s a V8 car with power brakes big bolt conversion on the front and B body 8 3/4 in the rear. Last numbers of the VIN 133362

Hey folks, I'm planning to upgrade my 06 LX headlight situation. I already have the projector brackets from LB Lightwerks but am now planning the rest of it. My lights have seen better dates so I was considering buying a new stock pair (seems that $750 is about the going rate). Any thoughts on glass vs polycarb housing? I'm assuming that the glass ones are the 99-02 and they would fit perfectly in an 06? Also as I plan my projectors, any thoughts on LED vs HID? I have some HIDs in there... Read more

Looking for the rear iron inspection covers. The one on top (which is available new apparently and also from jp3) and the one on the turbo side which seems to be a lot harder to find

Hi everyone, I was interested in wrapping the trim pieces on the air and was wondering if anyone knew what the most comparable wrap is to the color lucid uses on the factory option? So far I've found 3M 2080 Satin Black and I think it is pretty close, but I just wanted to see from anyone who's actually done it. Thanks!

I have a pair of solid front frame rails from a 65 Coronet. PO had removed the upper control arm bumpers to install a rack and pinion set up. They will have to be welded back on the rails. $250.00 each rail plus shipping from El Dorado Hills, Ca. PM me if interested.

Am I crazy to think that is an outrageous price? They are doing the timing belt and water pump and I asked about those tee connections. They said they use OEM ones and total is $475 to replace the two of them. I can’t understand how the labor could be so high. What am I missing?
