Is it possible to fit a 98 LS wood trim steering wheel on to a 91 LS ? What are the modifications that have to be done? What are the options to installing wood trim on the existing wheel on a 91 LS? Thanx in advance,

That's the set I have, and I'm 150% satisfied, you'll love it. It's really more than what you'll need for simple DIY stuff since a good 90+% of the bolts and screws on this car are 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, or philips head screw. ← I started with a similar set and bought tools as I needed them, As mentioned in previous responses you will always be adding to your tool treasure chest as you go, Heck you will find yourself buying things that you don't even need [ impulse buying ] We all do it. Just like the original set I bought I didn't need all of them. Good Luck with your purchase.

How about these? http://www.floormat.com/heated-car-mat.html

ihateduke, If you find that there is a problem with the headunit I can help you out with replacement or refurb on the unit, Keep us posted, Thanx

Let me look into this, I will have a answer, Your RX will last you a long time heck 100K it's just broke in. ← OK, Has the RX been in a damp or wet enviroment lately? It is probably a short in the faceplate circuit board. In which case you would need a new headunit.

Those are on ebay all the time, If you search these forums you will find what you need to go turbo.

I have read Pedroandrews other posts and have made my decision = useless. <_<

Have you checked the connections that you made when you installed the aftermarket amp?

Did you buy the RX new? Has there ever been a fm modulator installed?

If you ask kindly, GuyTelefunken might have it for you. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showuser=4610

Guy, Your toooooo much Anyway, How old are the belts? Maybe they need replacing, You could try some belt dressing but they probably need replacing. And by the way, DROP THE CAPS in this realm it is taken as yelling. <_< IALMAO ← Very funny this is my first post I just brought this car last month so i dont know how old they are. I will just take to dealer, this was not very helpful ← Don't get discouraged, It is just that we all have been hanging on these boards a long time, Welcome to the club And the answer is to replace the belts with OEM. You can do it yourself in under 5 min. with the right tool. Stick around You will gain much knowledge about your car.

And by the way, DROP THE CAPS in this realm it is taken as yelling. <_< IALMAO ← BELT DRESSING=BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont do it! it will gum up and get inside the bearninsg on the pulleys, and you could end up with a bad pulley somewhere. Simply replace the belt. and Guy, that was pretty darned funny ← Yeah, Army your probably right on the dressing thing, But 1 application wouldn't damage a thing, That is why I advised replacing.

Check the FAQ's on the top of the LS forums.

Here is a door lock removal .pdf that shows a GS door panel removal, It is probably very close to all models, At least it will get you in the ballpark. Good Luck Let us know how it works out. door_locks_gs.pdf

True, some of the winter or rubber mats out there are down right treacherous they are so slippery....I hear ya. B) ← Look here, Maybe something you could use. http://www.autoanything.com/department.asp...s_car_truck_suv

both of the front doors do not open from the outside. i have to unlock the car, open the back drivers door, reach through to open the front drivers door, then get in. do you know what can cause this? ← I wonder if this guy is serious? He should have posted something by now, Maybe he is reading his manuals. I am a patient man. :whistles:

Nice job ;)

I hope the tools are only OEM here! :D :D :D :D ←

Well if the build quality of a factory original Panasonic or genuine Toyota TrueStart replacement battery is superior to comparable auto parts store batteries then it's likely to be more reliable and durable.I have not sat down and examined the build quality of a factory original Panasonic or genuine Toyota TrueStart battery vs. auto parts store batteries. However, it is an undisputable fact that Toyota vehicles in general are substantially more reliable and durable than any American car. Therefore there must be substantial differences in build quality of the parts, filters and fluids that make up a Toyota. ← you stated "Well if the build quality of a factory original Panasonic or genuine Toyota TrueStart replacement battery is superior to comparable auto parts store batteries then it's likely to be more reliable and durable." Then you stated "I have not sat down and examined the build quality of a factory original Panasonic or genuine Toyota TrueStart battery vs. auto parts store batteries." How can you state this fact when you are guessing???? Then, because someone builds good cars will few/little items, that coralates to a good battery??? I did not know a good brake fluid ment a great car...LOL Then again Toyota did not even make the battery.. So my last truck had great windshield wipers and breaks brakes, I guess now it means the complete diesel truck was good. Toysrme hit it on the head. What do you think Lexus charges an arm and a leg for there oil (aka dino mobil); hence it is a scam or profit. Why sell oil at normal prices when they (Lexus) can make there own special bottle (for $0.050) and charge (4x more). Then again my mustang 5.0 floor mats where great........ ← There are too many posts that end up like this when a certain fellow member chimes in, I personally am just going to use the tools of these boards to avoid further pointless debates. CIAO !!!

Toys, You are so right.

You can try all of the cover up products and be somewhat satisfied for a short time, But if I was unhappy with the condition of my windshield I would have it replaced, Your current windshield will continue to degrade and sooner or later you will replace it, How long you hold out is your decision. Best of luck

nc211, I have been folowing this thread and I am sure glad you found the problem, Who would have known it was a twisted shock.

Wrap a chamois or other protective cloth around mast nut and remove: Turn stereo on and remove the old mast: From inside trunk remove side panel: Remove antenea mounting screws and power connector: Disasemble motor assembly: Remove the old mast and pieces along with the new gear: Reassemble motor assembly and reinstall in car plug in power connector: Insert new mast into motor assembly and turn radio off while feeding the new mast in straight: Put antenea back on and replace the mast nut: Hope this helps. ← Wow! Thanks so much for the detailed instructions as well as the pictures. I gather my only other question before I purchase the mast with nylon gear, is based on my description, do you think the gear is the problem? I guess in any case I now need a new mast. ← Replace the mast and gear while you are in there, And make sure everything is nice and clean before you put it back together. ;)
