Okay, So I just finished my Left rear door. Took much longer than anticipated but I tried to make it as simple as possible and I'm sure I did. I attached the rod onto a circular positive terminal type of socket (it was small, not the type you use on cars). Then I attached that onto the thumb driven lock. It turned out fantastic, the longest part was mounting the damn actuator cause it was in a terrible place, but it came out fantastic. I think the way that I did is the easiest I've seen, well at least for the Rear door. I'd also like to give a special thanks to everyone ont his forum and the other lexus owners forum that helped me do this, and save a whole lot of money.

Bosch plugs tend to have problems and don't run as they should on this specific engine. But you may get lucky and not have any issues, for the time being.

That's BS, you dont need a timing belt at 83k. They just want money. You can easily get to 90k, I've got to 165k on my camry on the original timing belt. But for peace of mind get it done at around 95k. They are built to go much longer but these engines are interference so you dont want the belt to break or else you will lose the engine. So in short get the belt done around 95k. We have had this question asked over and over at Club Lexus (another forum), and this is usually the most common answer.
