Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

Nice work! All of my parts should be here this week. It will be nice to have the GX up and running again.

On a side note I keep getting mice in my vehicles so I am tempted to get some barn cats. Not a cat person at all but if they are the most viscous mice killers I might be okay with them.

 

People probably think they see a ufo with you driving on the beach!

 

Ha. I wasn't even sure I'd they still worked when I went to turn them on. Had to capitalize on the photo op.

 

How do you replace the lbj in stock lca?

 

Press the old one out and press a new one in with a lot of force. Last time I was giving it all the beans with a hilift handle as a cheater bar.

I will be doing mine soon and I will take pictures

 

Easier to just replace the whole damn LBJ.

 

What’s the fun in that?

 

That's what I was thinking. Working for lexus, I get the good pricing

 

$63 vs $700.

 

Oil change day tomorrow. Right at 10k on this OCI. I'll be sending a sample off to BlackStone to get the deets. Oil still looks great and hasn't lost any viscosity based on the highly scientific method of rubbing it between your fingers like pappy used to do

 

@SearArtist when are you ordering these?

 

They already in his pile.

 

Those are junk. OEM for me.

 

They sure are pretty

 

Press the old one out. Got a press at work to handle that (hopefully). Seeing that you can't get the LBJ separately from the arm of you go OEM.

 

Same but you can't get the LBJ separately. Buying all new arms is definitely easier though!

 

470 LCA with kdss are NOT cheap when buying new oem.

I got whiteline bushings and 555 LBJ and paid someone $100 to get the old out and new in.

 

For whoever cares.

255,701 miles @ time of change. OCI was 10,721 miles. Mobil 1 5w-30 Full Synthetic.

$53 Toyota 90915-YZZD3 Oil Filter 1 Case (QTY 10)

Toyota 90915-YZZD3 filter.

The old was obviously darker but not black by any means. Plenty of viscosity left. No glitter and nothing on the drain plug. I'm curious to see what the lab says.

 

I run mine on 15k intervals

also use SuperTech high mileage.
