Default Travelled to moon............

Well, sort of. Travelled the distance to moon in my ES (239k miles)

Some work that I performed within last 6 months are (at 235k miles);
Spark plug changes
Firewall side ignition coils replaced
Front passenger axle replaced due to CV boot leak - went with reman
Axle-transmission seal replaced due to minor leak
Transmission pan gasket replaced

Still drives like champ - my daily driver to work (90 miles). Amazing engineering by Lexus.

I purchased one from Napa for around $75. Removing that axle bearing is a real pain if it seized. Good luck!.

Technically not all my km's, that was a cluster I got from a junkyard ES300 that I retro'd into my Solara. It read 619K when I put it in, but I've since reprogrammed it.
