That is a very tidy wiring install, nice work! When did KC start doing LED's? That's a lotta lights!

They have been producing LED's for awhile now. Here is a shot of the finished product. I am also preparing for sliders and ICONS

Inventoried the first aid kit.

The kit is now 10-years old! Opened a band-aid and the adhesive was still good. Checked a moistened towelette and it was still wet. Kit 'looks' complete. Added more towelettes, some extra large band-aids (cuz I'maclutz)) and a roll of waterproof tape. Can't believe the kit held up this well.

That is going to look sweet!

Finally finished up the 120k service yesterday...had a little snafu here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...ark-plugs.html

With the new plugs it idles and accelerates much smoother now. Also addressed an inner axle boot tear. Had the inner and outer boots replaced. Looks like the other side was done at some point so these should be good for a while.

Later in the summer is the bull bar and suspension....

Can someone help me out...I have an 03' GX470 and I noticed after I brought it that one of the cargo net hooks was missing. I found it in the vehicle but it did not have the threaded stud or screw attached. I managed to fine the correct size screw/stud but can't figure out how this can get reattached. Originally I thought that it simply threaded into the tapped hole in the side of the cargo area but I found out quickly that it doesn't. I've tried to search the internet and the Club Lexus forum for install instructions but came up empty. Anyone have any ideas? This is eating away at me!

Installed new Hawk HPS brake pads and AC Delco front rotors on the wife's GX470. Rear pads and rotors come in next week. First time working on the GX but I am used to working with BMW's so it wasn't too bad.

Thank you. It has paid for itself in labor costs on the Lexus and especially on the BMW's. Need to change out the garage opener to a side mount since you can see the GX is almost touching it when I am on the lowest support.

The kit comes with the threaded stud, and it mounts from the other side, so you'll have to remove (partially or fully) the side panel.
