Hey All! 2002 LX 470. Can anyone help with a problem. I have a multi display unit out. Have any of you heard of this happening? Could it be a fuse or have to be replaced.

Default 2005 Lexus LX470 Pearl White

Hello Everyone. I have a 05 Lexus LX 470 and I am in Windsor Ontario, I picked it up from NC in June. Love this truck. I have a question for anyone who can answer. Can I get a 15000 miles or 1 year oil change for my 05 LX470, and what kind of filter should I use. I know MBenz does once a year or 15000 mile oil change. and is it advisable to take teh truck to a regular oil change place, bcecause I know they put Mobil 1 synthetic extended milage Oil (15000 Miles). Please advise.

It has seen many places and has been the best car I have found for summer vacations, ski trips, camping, and just long road trips.

Mods.....
-Valentine radar hardwired about rearview mirror
-power inverter in rear (for TV's and Laptops)
-Yakima roof rack on top of factory rack
-HID headlights
-Manik brushguard
-PIAA brushguard lights
-wood steering wheel and shifter
-Sirius satelite radio
-chrome shift bezel from 03-05 LX
-ION yellow fog lights
-windows all 5% lumar tint
-chrome door handles
-rear spoiler
-stowaway cargo box
-color-matched window visors

Wish list......
-ARB or TJM bumper powdercoated to match
-Warn winch
-fender flares
-monochromatic trim

I have not posted too much in the past but I am getting better. I know that lx470 very well and i can usually help answer most questions.

Other Cars...
-03 black/saddle SC430
-01 silver/black GS430
-04 black/tan Range Rover
-04 black/tan Ford Explorer Sport Trac
I have a '98 model, no mods but want to hard wire a radar detector. How difficult is it to do with the '98 mirror?

I just bought a 2005 LX (white) with 50k. We also have a 2003 GS430 in Pearl White as well.

We are located in Sammamish, WA.

I have a list of things I would like to add on, but ill post those questions in the main forum.

Are there any other PNW owners out there?

Just purchased a 98 lexus 470. love the truck but hate the color champaign, The trucks interior was excellent so I figur I can always change the exterior. I decided to tint the windows and add some rims. I'm not sure what size would look good. should I get 285/60/18? The tires that are on the truck now are so small. Need help trying to give this truck a sexy look. Thanks for your help

just got me some tundra 20's didn't think i would like the center cap mod but i like it. Rear spoiler isn't oem it's the bigger one from some place few of the members talked about. $150 isn't bad versus oem price.

I bought mine for off road use and recently ditched the running boards which are a pain all around. Mine's not a street cruiser. Matter of fact, it's my Search and Rescue vehicle.

black/silver 2000 LX470. 216k was my dads, looks brand new. took off the front brush guard and tail light guards for a cleaner look. doin 5% tint this week. anyone know if theres a way to pull a fuse or somethin when the truck is parked and in "Low" ride setting? i hate how high it sits. if it could roll around on the "low" setting it would be sexy.
