I've noticed the Lexus boards aren't as DIY-centric as say, a BMW board. I come from the BMW world so I'm used to doing everything myself. Just a different culture. Some Lexus DIYers out there, but not many of us. Most would rather just go to the dealer. Our cars really don't need repairs, just basic stuff. It's something I encourage a lot of people to try and do.
Theres an e-service manual floating around. It pretty much provides all the steps for whatever procedure you need to do, including torque specs and what not. That may be a partial reason why there is no DIYs listed in the sticky. I have it downloaded on my laptop, but its a massive file. Not quite sure how I would get around to uploading it.... Im sure if you tried searching, you could find it. I came across it by chance.

There are a few DIYs in the FAQ/DIY sticky that for some reason aren't showing up. I've got a request out to find out why.

Oh and merged with earlier request for DIY threads... nominate them if they're out there and we can get them added to the sticky (once I figure out why the ones that were added from earlier requests aren't showing up)

Slightly off topic but as far as stickies go, If I may make a suggestion, I think the "Post a pic of your 3IS right NOW thread" should be the "What you did for your 3IS today" thread.
The latter is must more common on automotive forums and makes a lot more sense and would see a lot more activity. I think some have been using the original thread for the purpose of the latter.
The 2IS forum has it.
