    Bought my LX this weekend!

    By derk87

    I bought my first 2009 lx over the weekend. Spent the past two days going over it and getting it inspected and everything is great and clean on it. Went over the whole interior and made sure everything worked. When I tested it the 4Lo didn’t engage but managed to get it to activate randomly trying it again. I was worried there would be steering or suspension issues since it sat with little driving the past 6 months but at the inspection everything checked out good. The frame... Read more

    Another weird starting issue...

    By MissouriLC

    A little over a month ago, I rebuilt my starter ( Late-night starter replacement... - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/late-night-starter-replacement.1384788/#post-16422574 ), replacing both the contacts and the plunger. The started in question is a Denso remanufacture 280-0169. FWIW, I replaced my fusible link and junction block at the same time. A week ago, I weird intermittent issue started. About once every 8 to 10 starts, the starter will crank a couple of times and then make a... Read more

    '07 Timing chains need replacment?

    By Scota4570

    2007 2WD 1GR-FE VVT-i, I have been having codes indicating cam to cam and crank not synced for several years. I replaced the passenger side VVT actuator about 5-years ago and no codes or check engine lights until recently. (The dealer told me the car was scrap!) I recently replaced the driver's side VVT actuator and it made the check engine light pop up immediately. Oh yeah, 250,000 miles. The car is in excellent shape, runs great, no rust, and looks good. I pulled the inspection... Read more

    RPM drop to idle during downshift, loss of power when passing, extremely intermittent

    By seanz0rz

    05 LX470, 220k miles, no CEL, stored or pending codes. I have had this issue for about a year now. It is slowing getting worse. I have zero idea where to go next, so here I am. The first symptoms started when accelerating from a stop sign, usually on an uphill bit of road. I would get about halfway through the intersection, then lose power momentarily. Power would be restored after a second or two, usually with a little kick, and I would be on my way. It never lasted long enough for me to... Read more

    1974 getting close to being on the road...

    By Southgaboy

    Long story but here is the condensed version, my late BIL bought "The Toyota " in the early 90's and used it primarily for hunting. Sadly He passed away in 1995 and the 40 ended up with His parents and they putted around the farm for several yrs till finally in around 2003 it was parked and it sat till this past Jan when I ended up with it. It has been a slow process since then but I am close to to getting it back on the dirt roads and fields. So far I have have replaced everything... Read more

    Strong chemical odor from driver wheel well

    By Shinook

    We are out camping in our LX450, after about 3 hours on the highway, we stopped and immediately noticed a fairly strong chemical smell from the front driver side of the car. It doesn’t smell like burning, more like paint or acetone. We also had some very minor stumbling coming from a stop but only lasted a split second. Outside temps were pretty hot, averaged around 190f water temp the whole day. No CELs or other issues. No leaks I could find I’m trying to see what it is so we don’t get... Read more

    Scissor lifts

    By kcjaz

    I moved to a new house with a really great garage but only 9’ ceilings so I can’t put my 14’ tall two post lift in it. I still have a shop at our lake place with my lift in it but it’s 2 hours away. I’m considering getting a portable scissor style lift so I can more easily/conveniently lift the 200. Something like this: VEVOR Portable Car Lift, 9000 lbs Capacity, Heavy Duty Steel Truck Lift with 28" Max Height, 120V Power Unit, Wheels, 4 Rubber Pads & 4 Lifting Columns for Cars, SUVs...

    Trailing arms - replace bushings or get new arms?

    By SoCal818

    Forgive my ignorance on this. My trailing arms bushings are cracked and moving by hand, though only slightly. At 247k miles and 21-years old, I’m confident it’s time to replace the bushings. Here’s the question - is it generally better to swap the bushings or get aftermarket replacements? They sells replacement bushing kits but I don’t know how difficult it’ll be to knock out the old ones. ( 10x Toyota Sequoia (01-07) Rear Upper/Lower/Lateral Arm Bushing Polyurethane Bushing Kit -...

    VDJ79 Diff housings

    By MaxVDJ79

    Hi all, I've got a 2018 VDJ79 workmate and I'm wondering if its possible to fit the GXL factory diff lock diff centres to a workmate model. I was planning on buying some diff centres from the wreckers with the factory diff lock as it would be much cheaper then buying for example Harrop E lockers. I'm now questioning whether its possible due to the diff housings potentially being different. Are the GXL diff housings (Front or rear) different to the GX and Workmate diff housings? To...

    Muffled sound at very low speed - matching wheel speed

    Hi all, Recently got my front axles + wheel bearing rebuilt cf end of this thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/swivel-hub-leak-advice.1379131/page-3#post-16445718 The mechanics did a great job, just drove 200km and drives perfectly fine. I had been lazy with this rebuilt and it was pissing for maybe 60,000 km. a few months ago I developed a sound that I can only hear with windows up and at very low speed (under 8kph) coming from I believe the passenger side but hard to pin...

    Victron Orion charging drops from 30A to 18A once engine warms up – LX570

    By Tadem

    Hey guys, Looking for some advice on my dual battery setup in my 2013 LX570. I’m running a Victron Orion 50A DC-DC charger (capped at 30A) with a 100Ah LiFePO4 house battery. On a cold start, the Orion immediately starts charging at the full 30A. However, once the engine warms up, charging consistently drops to around 18A. If I shut the engine off and restart it while warm, it stays around 18A. I’m wondering if this has something to do with the LX570’s alternator voltage dropping once... Read more

    Go the mustard - hj47 project

    By matt tin

    I’ve greatly enjoyed the threads on here about other members journeys so want to contribute my own. Having an affinity for Toyotas since getting picked up from school in a hj45. Now driving a 200 series and the wife in a rav4 I thought I’d keep the theme going with a hj47 that I can pickup my son one day in. I found this one on marketplace in a small town 2 hours out of Brisbane. It had been online a while and I thought I’d find out why after missing out on a couple of my earlier choices... Read more
