Thank you so Much!!! I put 21” wheels on my LX470. I need it to be on Low setting for everyday driving so it doesn’t look too lifted. But when I go off roading and I put the 18” off road wheels and tires on… I need it to stay in high!!! This is the perfect solution!!!
Thanks. Just finished doing the same modifications. Was a little tight, but it works. Gonna be very helpful when trying to keep the truck low for people and the kids to get in and out !!!
I wrote a comment about this hack how cool this is, but then I went and did a deep dive about this hack. with all 100% confidence I will tell you DO NOT DO THIS to your car. This AHC system is responsible for car stability, by doing this you disabling stability system.
I believe you are correct Thomas. I think the white ½ tube behind it actually breaths cabin air and is used to regulate temps. If left disconnected my understanding is that you'll lose climate control. It'll blow all hot or all cold. (Based on my readings of other's experience. I haven't forgotten to reconnect my tube. Yet...)
ha relay that simple , slee was putting some type of a black box with cables to achieve this result , anyway when I do low car drops all the way to the bare metal sits on the bushing support 0 suspension
Hello I am wondering what are the benefits of driving on the high position over 20 miles per hour ! It improved your mileage ? Driving at high position for a longer period would make your accumulators worn faster !
If I understand correctly, the switch is to turn the override on and off. If I were to just want the override to be always on, so I could manually set my height at will, could I just cut the two cables?
Just did the mod as described, no worries, it works. But what I also found is that it affects the comfort/sport settings, it doesn't work anymore, it's the same when on the hard or soft setting. Does not change anymore. Other than that it's fine. Do you find the same thing?
I don't think I ever played with the dampening while in high and when in normal height I always turned the bypass off. I have since converted to OME/OEM land cruiser suspension.
@@tomaszzyzdorf9862 thanks for you reply. Okay just thought you might have come across it. I just got the vehicle and the mechanic that owned it rebuild the AHC before selling and put LC springs in the rear, a bit better for heavier loads, so no need to change it ...yet!? Works like a charm so far.
Just did this as best as possible to the directions. I have a 2003 so the harness was a bit different. I spliced and connected as reviewed. This isn’t working for me so far. Does the new switch have to be connected in a specific order? My wires were red as yours but green for 17. If I reverse the harness, there is nothing in slot 4.
Excellent video. Have you tried driving on a smooth highway at speed in the low setting? Be curious to find out how that was. How much suspension travel is left on the low setting, at 2 inches lower than normal?
Thank you for taking everything back apart to show us how you did it. Plus the research time. Truly appreciated. 👍🏼
That is a great video! Rarely do I find a video that makes me feel like I know how to do the job as soon as the video ends. Well done.
Thank you so Much!!!

Good job, and thanks for sharing your research.

Unbelievable, doing this tomorrow
Great video!
Great information thanks
In the video I keep saying "microphone cable" it's not. I believe it's the cabin temp sensor. Whatever

No benefit, it just gives you the option
Does this work on all years LX470? Mine is a 2000, looks like a little older than yours
If the wire colors match go for it

Yeah I guess cutting the wires would get you that

@@glopod8736 sorry mate can't help you, I have a "98 model.
Great video! Have you had any issues with it since done?
It's been over a year with no issues
@@tomaszzyzdorf9862 I did it and works like a charm. Thanks again.
Thanks for your help!!!
Are you noticing better gas mileage when you ride in low?
I didn't really drive that much in low, just some short highway stretches.
Great video. Is there any issue with driving it at full height at highway speeds?
Your CV angles will be steep and you can get excess wear or failure of your CV joints. A differential drop can cure the angle.
Lol I don't drive in high at highway speeds but I do enjoy flexing high around town

Thanks alot brother all the way from the middle east. I got my mechanic to do this and it worked 💪 😀
I have driven in the highway in low, it drove just fine. Just watch out for pot holes!
