Thread: Seanz0rz's 2005 Lexus LX470

    Replaced the Hood Struts:


    OG units (I believe to be original) were leaking and would barely hold the hood. Nearly broke my arm the other day.

    Also replaced the cabin air filter and engine air filter. Both were disgusting.

    I never understood why the 3rd gens didn't get one. Hell, even many 100 series didn't get it, even though there was a spot for it.

    When did cabin filters become a thing in cars anyway, like how early on?
    I don't think my gen Camry got it till 05', same with Chris's Matrix
    I love having it on the Camry, I wish the 3rd gens too came with it.

    My 97 CR-V had a cabin filter.

    Installed the dash cam. I didn't get pictures of the install, it was pretty uneventful. I tapped the positive going to the auto dimming mirror (but checked first that it does not turn off when in reverse like my Fusion does).

    Used one of these: http://smile.amazon.com/HitCar-Inver...ilpage_o00_s01

    Used an existing mounting bracket screw for ground.

    Everything tucked up nicely in the cavity forward of the sunroof controls.

    Installed:


    Can't even see it from the outside. (Not a great picture).



    There is a bit of glare, I might build a box around it, but I don't really think it is a problem. This video is the worst of it. (click to go to the video)

    A dash mat will fix that.

    UPS man dropped off the screen today:


    I'll have much more on this in another post in a few weeks. For now I'm just playing with it.

    I did spend a day cleaning the 3rd row up. Found alot of sticky stuff (coke or coffee or something) and a little bit of broken glass on the passenger side. Looks like that right rear cargo window was broken at some point. Replacement is Lexus and matches the others. I don't think it happened very long ago.

    Sticky glass:


    I hope my seat belts don't explode!


    This weekend I'll toss the HID's in her and if I feel up to it, a wash, clay bar, and wax.

    They sell thru Amazon as well, I went with that so I get my 3% rewards.

    I went with the StrongArm brand. It seemed to rate just a tiny bit better than the house brand. Also note that some are sold as each, some are sold as pair.
