Your videos are very entertaining. I’m obsessed with the lexus videos !!! Very high quality videos and very educational. Love your videos on your LS!!! Also how is your grom unit in your ls ?

Thanks David! I love getting the feedback! The GX is gone now but there are more LS videos in the works. I'm assuming you've seen the GROM specific video: ruclips.net/video/dWxrLEYXj3c/видео.html
The GROM has been consistent since getting it all worked out in the first place. Which doesn't mean flawless, but good enough. It has a long bootup / connection to my phone here and there, BUT, what an upgrade. I couldn't imagine not having wireless CarPlay in it. Worth dealing with the initial issues.

Why not rebuild the cv shaft

[@bennieaust]

It’s pretty time consuming. If you still have the OE axles and want to keep OE axles it’s a great option.
