    Not that I’ve seen. I took everything off other than the Lexus L’s front and back though.

    Can’t wait to get this maintenance stuff out of the way. I have wheels picked out already.

    Drove around tonight...couple observations:

    -ebrake doesn’t work. Handle lifts up with zero resistance and doesn’t catch. Meh, never really use it anyway
    -seat heater doesn’t seem to work
    -a bunch of buttons don’t light up at night: seat heaters, rear airbag mode switch, mirror adjustment switch...is it just mine or do they all do this?
    -needs and alignment and tires balanced - already knew this.
    -this engine is WAY overpowered for the platform. It really gets up and goes and doesn’t have the janky ass shifting like my Tacoma.
    -the driver seat is really comfy but the position of the gas pedal has my leg bent in an awkward position that is NOT comfortable...Hope I get used to that.

    I had a 460 for 3 days, I much prefer the 470.

    Good to know! I was trying to talk my parents into a 460 because they loved my 470 so much.

    the 460 has more room which I like, but it’s also bigger. Plus timing chain.

    And timing chain cover leaks which are a fortune to fix and they’ll all do it sooner or later.

    They have a 2014 Lexus RX 350 F Sport which is why I was thinking a 460 for them. Little bit more luxury.

    Krystal had a NX200t F Sport before the GX.

    the LX is nice... if you can afford one. It’ll be her next car and I’ll probably take the 460.

    Looks like 460 King fronts will work as well, appears to have the same res mount as 10+ T4R w/KDSS.

    Are they the same part number? You should see if you can get a discount if you order two sets :thumbsup:
