Just got this two weeks ago. 2006 ML with 147,000 miles. Fixed the center console, refoamed the ML subwoofer, cleaned out the ventilated seat filter (wow that made a difference), added interior LEDs, GROM BlueTooth unit, front shocks, plugs, transmission service, and induction service. Up next: LED fogs, fix the telescoping steering wheel column, rear shocks, timing belt/water pump, paint work.
how did you fix the telescoping part? Mine does not operate and I bought the motor on eBay wasn’t new but used and still didn’t work.
I haven't fixed it yet, but from what I've read it's most likely a worn bushing in the telescoping motor mechanism. I've got the part, I just need to tear into it to replace it. I have the knee airbag, so that adds a little bit of difficulty.
recently picked up this 2004UL. I kinda went backwards with my plan but i couldn't pass up the deal on these rims. Now i need to order my bag kit because this wheel gap is ugly.
I'm new to the LS430 family (have a 99 SC300 posted in SC forum). I've added a few items so far and loving the ride!!!
Black Cherry
TrafficStar DTX 225/35 20x9 +30f 255/35 20x10 +38r
Half Euro Full Lip kit (only front lip on right now and will add sides and rear later)
Auto Shine Roof Wing
Stock Air w/Data Controller

Recently picked up an 06 LS430 with 73K miles on her, having previously owned a SC300 and LS400 I am moving up in the world, lol
Went badgeless with the front grille. Installed USA SPEC bluetooth audio adapter, interior LED lights, front/rear dash cam.
Next up - TINT, TINT, TINT! Really not digging the "fishbowl mode"
Just moved out to Maryland from California. Decided to ship the LS rather than brave the winter drive across the country. Here she is in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, yesterday. Beautiful town with great history - I highly recommend. The other picture shows her experiencing her first snow the week prior. I will say, however, that wherever I go I end up dodging potholes wondering where my tax dollars are being spent; amazing.

what interior lighting did you go with? also tint? planning on tinting mines soon and looking to do 20 all around
Quick snap at the barber shop... loving this car so far
New owner here and interested in getting a set for my car. I'm really liking the look. They're subtle but not boring.
Are you running the 19x10 on the rear? The pair that I found for sale was a staggered 19x8.5 +40 front and 19x10 +45 rear. Just worried about fitment as some of the threads that I've come across with these cars have people running 19x8.5 all around. Worried about any rubbing in the rear as the stocks are quite a bit smaller and I'm not planning on rolling or cutting fenders.
