My AT4 did not have the adaptive ride control. But my assumption is that it would work very similarly.

Yup, you are spot on. I noticed the oily-ness. I wiped down with alcohol before the top coat, but when wiping down i definitely noticed some haziness coming back as the oil was wiped off. Those are great suggestions. I'm going to make a list and give your outlined method a shot next time around.

You got it! thanks for the support and watching!

Thanks. That means a lot. Thank you for the support!!

I agree wholeheartedly. We love our LX. Had a 2009 before this. And now this 2017 LX570. You mentioned comfort and it made me remember something one of the kids said. We were on a family trip and had rented a Cadillac ESV for a week since we were a big group. As soon as we got home and hopped in the LX570 and started heading home front he airport my 12yr old son asked why the LX is so much more quiet and comfortable than the Escalade. It was funny because the kids were infatuated with the Escalade’s look and modern feel. But as soon as they got back in the LX their immediate reaction was how much better it felt, rode, and how silent it was.

@@NKPGarage Most definitely so, I'm so impressed with the subtle things like its driver and passage side window, with how smooth like butter it raises up and down, and its like ones in an air lock or something when the windows are actually raised up. Yeah, she's definitely a keeper.

It’s part of the Toyota/Lexus way of implementing it for safety and anti theft. I haven’t found a way around it to keep it running

Hope you are doing great in Qatar! Thanks for the support and for watching!

That’s amazing. I’m so happy to hear that this simple process fixed the problem on your vehicle.

Yup I definitely did. I used 3m vinyl wrap to do that. It turned out looking great. I did two short videos showing how I did it. This video is for the rear trunk trim: ruclips.net/video/XHS7XbJWolQ/видео.html and this video is for the side trim: ruclips.net/video/5_6TbI6cnYY/видео.html

Yes I did

Poke poke. 😀 I love it!

Depends on the center caps i guess. I'm still loving these new center caps I went with, no more rattle, and they're OEM Lexus. Check it out in my other video: ruclips.net/video/rvD_XA5hegg/видео.html

Give the reset procedure a try. And then see what codes you have

Mine comes to a stop. By then to start going again I have to tap the gas pedal gently for it to start going again.

@@NKPGarage good to know, thanks for sharing and responding

@dolamyte you got it!

That's awesome!! Glad it got working with such a simple fix.

Great job!

The 2017 is a quieter interior. But ride comfort is about the same overall. I can tell that AHC functions more smoothly between transitions on the 2017 vs the 2009. But if you don’t sit in them back to back it would be hard to notice. The bigger brakes are definitely a big improvement on the 2017. I prefer the back seats and where the rear AC controls are on the 2009. The kids do too. The 2019 has the 8spd transmission versus the previous 6spd. I haven’t noticed any real world benefit of the 8spd. I actually prefer the way the 6spd drove on the 2009. The 8spd feels sluggish until you get to highway speeds. And the 8spd in the 2017 seems to get worse gas mileage than the 2009 did. I really miss the touchscreen on the 2009. I really don’t like the joystick control on the 2017. That’s probably the main things I’ve noticed so far.

@@NKPGarage thanks so much for the reply!

@@baller15g You got it!

Yup. I did before and after. If you look at the results starting around the 23:00 point in the video I go over the before versus after results.

@@NKPGarageI thought you were going to put it on a dyno. You are showing the results from the app?

@@mason7300 Unfortunately was not able to get any dyno scheduled in time. So the app was the closest I could get. I tried several apps and this one seemed to be the most consistent. I'm not looking for actual HP/TQ numbers, but mainly looking for the difference before and after. Once I get the supercharger on it'll definitely head to a real AWD dynojet.

The wiring is pretty simple, but you make a good point. I have one more on the shelf to install in another spot. Once I get to that I'll make sure to do another video showing the wiring as well.

Thank you!

I would guess that some of it is timing, some of it is leaner AFR, and some of it is the timing of when the variable valve timing kicks in. I ordered a VF tuner for myself and will be using it next time around so that I can see exactly what is changing in the tune.

@@NKPGarage I have VFTuner and I don’t believe you can open the tunes. I’ll check again but I believe the tuner can lock them. I’ll check my Yotawerks GX time when I get a chance But I understand how they make power. Variable valve timing on these truck is always functioning though. It’s not like VTEC where it activates at a certain RPM. The timing is adjusting at all rpms. Additionally, the PCM is continuously looking for peak ignition timing on the fly so im not sure there is a ton to pick up there either. What I dont understand is why Toyota left so much on the table <4000 rpm but not above. I wonder if it’s simply the throttle not being fully open. My GX460 would not open its throttle all the way up on the stock tune but I have not datalogged my LX yet I really wish HPTuners would open up support for the 2016+ Land Cruisers because it’s so much better than VFTuner

I don’t believe he got in to your computer.

You got it! I’m glad it’s helpful. And thank you for the support!

You got it!

Thank you! It’s not too hard to do. Toughest thing I’ve heard a few people run into is rusted hardware.

Thank you!

That’s a good point

That’s awesome!!! Love to hear about the success stories!

There are a couple different ways to tune more modern Toyota/Lexus ECUs. HP Tuners and VFTuner are the two main ones used, depending on what year and model your Toyota/Lexus is.

@@NKPGarage I have looked at both and neither support lx570, so I will wait to see what you end up with.

It’s not well documented online. But the VF Tuner supports all years of the LX570. The HPTuner is more for the Tundra guys and doesn’t support the LX570.

Ok, watching.

@@mason7300 I finally got the full video uploaded of the before and after testing ruclips.net/video/BBU021N6tt0/видео.html

That’s awesome! What year is your LX? And how many miles when you did the work? I’m always curious to hear how long these AHC globes are lasting before needing replacement.

@@NKPGarage hey- I have a 2009 193k miles. I have 34s and front sensor lift and some other fun goodies. I did a fluid flush when I got it at 165. After some decent towing and a considerable amount of off roading, the suspension degraded till it was time today. One globe was obviously bad. My next big to dos are the valley plate leak and valve cover leak. I hope it’s not the cam tower. Both are slow leaks so I’ll get to it when I get to it. I’ll probably also do some preventative stuff while I’m in there as she’s got some age on her now. I love your content and was stoked you got another lx. Keep making vids for us please!

@Skyvisiontube sounds like you are putting that LX to good use! How do you like the ride with the sensor lift versus stock height? I tried the sensor lift on my previous 2009 and it looked nice, but I didn’t like the more firm ride so I set it back to stock height. I’m going to do the valley plate on my 2017 LX when I do the TRd supercharged install. Will be checking route the valve covers too while I’m in there to see if there’s any reason to R&R them.

Yup!! That is for "boost" if you have a turbo charged engine. It shows manifold pressure (PSI). So if you have a supercharged engine or a turbo charged engine it will show the PSI (boost pressure) while operating.

Try to reset it using the reset procedure in the video. Then drive around for 10-20 minutes with the AC on. And change the AC modes to blow air out of various vents while driving around. Then come back and check the codes to see if any new codes are stored.

More 80 updates soon hopefully 🙂 For the 80 series, or really any daily driver or a vehicle you take roadtrips in, where you want to keep track of health statistics, gauges, MPG, and other stats, the app I like is called "DashCommand". For troubleshooting and general diagnostics my go to app for easy diagnostics with the bluetooth OBD2 adapter and my cellphone is "OBDLink"

That is awesome! Glad it worked for you and was helpful. The heat this summer has definitely been brutal!

Thank you!!

Great to know the functions of those. I figured that it later with some reading. Don’t realize that’s what rsca was for. Really neat system.

You’re right. They’re similar but can’t be swapped. But even if you are in a Land Cruiser 200 series this gives a good visual hopefully of how the assembly goes together and assembles. Thanks for the support and watching!!

Nice! 👍

You got it! Thanks for support and for watching!

Yup. Definitely!

@@NKPGarage I’ll try

@juliekurtzrd 👍

They are definitely holding their value. Specially since the new v6 turbo motors are having problems.

Thank you!! 🙏

You got it!!

Thanks Mark! I'm excited too!

So nice of you to say that. Love hearing that type of feedback. God bless!

If you buy a new cap it should come with the o-ring. I don’t now the part number for just the o-ring by itself. The link to the new cap is in the video description
