Lost both and plan on renting a truck for a few days while I have my preferred shop do several things since I am at 83k miles. I will see if they can get my spare back on, but I think the tow hook is not doable. By the way, have you taken the precautions with the secondary air intake?

Do you have your spare? Please post the pipe routing, preferably in landscape mode

Yes, I completed the upgrade to the Uni Filter for the 2nd air intake. It was quite simple. Thanks
to all the brilliant minds that came together to solve the issue unlike the Lexus engineers.

I think I remember YashGX having pics and a video of routing on his thread

The second pic looks like stock location for the spare. Routing looks stock (cannot confirm though)

Default I think the dealer likes my exhaust

With 2 visits and 2 different mechanics. I don't think this is needed for the secondary air intake or an airbag replacement.

Hahaha your the one with the GXF right ? Everyone wants to check the quad setup. My 5 year old pushes the gas paddle whenever I start the engine on the Maserati GT.

Yeah I have the GXF. What I caught on the dash cam doesn't surprise me. Awhile back some guy posted the same thing on car chat and was pissed about the revs...I get it but some service reps seem to be oblivious to a dash cam. Full time recording would give me all kinds of goodies.

Edit: here is a the link to what I mentioned https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...vs-dealer.html
Unfortunately video is no longer available and there was a confrontational poster that was deleted.

I believe with your earlier visit he did a 1-2 Miles test drive which I think is ok, the other day someone saw their corvette at McDonald’s drive through while the car was at the dealer for oil change that I think makes no sense and anyone would be pissed abt it.

Interesting but not sure of the benifets with this pricy looking mod. Looks to be labor intensive.
That GX looks quite rusty.
