did switching to the 20's diminish your ride. i hear that when you change to the bigger rim the truck does not ride as smooth, did you notice a significant difference.

HI MR SYPHER I AM ALSO LOOKING TO UPGRADE MY STOCK TIRES PRETTY SOON. I HAVE A 99 LX 470 AND I WAS INTERESTED IN THE 105-SUV IN A 20 OR 22 INCH, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WOULD BE.

CANUK, I WAS THINKING THAT THE TICKING NOISE MIGHT BE A COOLING DOWN PROCESS BUT I WAS NOT SURE. THANKS FOR THE INFO.

I DO NOT HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE TRANNY. I JUST HEAR THE TICKING NOISE AND I ONLY REALLY HEAR THAT BECAUSE I PARK IN A GARAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR IT REALLY CLEARLY WITH THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSED.

I HAVE A 99 LX AND I AM NOW STARTING TO NOTICE A TICKING NOISE AFTER THE ENGINE IS OFF AND THE CAR IS IN THE GARAGE. THE TICKING SEEMS TO STOP AFTER THE CAR COOLS DOWN. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS TICKING NOISE COULD BE.

I HAVE NOT REALLY NOTICED THESE NOISES COMING FROM MINE. I HAVE A 99 470. I WILL LISTEN AND SEE IF I HEAR THESE NOISES COMING FROM MINE. I HAVE MINE IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT SO MAYBE I WON'T HEAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT OUT IN THE COLD ALL NIGHT. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF I NOTICE ANYTHING.

THANKS FOR THE INFO, I JUST RECENTLY AT 96,000 MILES HAD THE MAJOR TUNE UP THAT COST ME ABOUT 1,200.00 OR MORE AND THEY REPLACED THE PLUGS AND WIRES, BELTS ETC. I ALSO HAD A MAJOR BRAKE JOB WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL 03 BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER PROBABLY DID NOT DO THEM FOR A WHILE. THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE SHOT EVEN THE CALIPERS HAD TO BE RELAPLACED. SO HOPEFULLY I SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO DO PADS AND CUT ROTORS NEXT TIME.

HI, I BOUGHT A 1999 LEXUS LX 470 IN APRIL 03 AND I AM COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD TO DO ANYTHING TO IT SO FAR BUT THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE, MY QUESTION IS THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE, I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 77,000 MILES ON IT, I NOW HAVE 105,000 AND STILL GOING STRONG, HOW MANY MILES CAN I EXPECT TO DO ON THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THE HIGHER THE MILEAGE THE MORE EXPENSIVE THE DEALERSHIP SERVICES ARE. PLEASE ADVISE.
