What do you prefer, fixing up older vehicles and keeping them on the road or buying something brand new and why?
Fixing up "older", or anything not new. Why because it's only way I can justify having owned 30+ cars in my lifetime; if I kept buying new I would be in crazy debt. Job gave me a new company car couple years back that I still have and I still don't understand wanting a brand new car. Jeez and maybe too because no mechanics are allowed to touch my cars. I think that's typical of any current or past professional mechanics.
I've literally never bought anything brand new and I don't think I ever will.
Haven't bought a car brand new and previous to this year only bought cars from the 90's. Being only $5k into 3 different vehicles over 3 years is a better trade than one $40k car's unknown problems. Also I don't take them to mechanics either. I can do pretty much everything in my own garage. Much preferred used and self kept.
A couple of days ago. 11 brand new BMW E34s surfaced here , in Bulgaria. Now that is a brand new car a want. Unfortunatly they are going for around 15 000 euros ...
you are np, the old LX470 is better than new LX570.
This was really good. The music was actually pleasant. Not to much talking, good quality picture. Simple explanation. I feel more confident to do this job, I’m sure I’ll watch it again.
Great video, I did one a few years back, getting ready to do it again. I ended up getting that crank bolt loose by running the breaker bar through the upper control arm and quickly turning the engine over. It worked but was a bit dodgy, just in case someone doesnt have the tools to get it loose
If you are leaving your rad in place like this video a good tip is to put some thick cardboard on the back of it so you don't ding the fins. Thanks for the vid :D
Kris Fulton@ You’re a switched on dude Kris. Very good advice. I removed the radiator when I did the timing belt on my 2UZ-FE 4.7 Land Cruiser but I still placed a thick piece of cardboard over the air-conditioner condenser to avoid damaging it.
Big help to all the Landcruiser fan boys like me!
Great video! I appreciate how you just buy any specialty tools needed. Never understood why people would cheap out over a $70 tool that makes things easier and safer while they are saving so much money DIY. Even if you use it once it more than pays for itself.
Thank you Alex. I 100% agree. There is nothing more frustrating than having a project come to a halt because you do not have the required tools on hand.
Good job! Having done a couple 430's I would say I rate the overall job more hours on Lexus, but easier. Miata I was not very pleased with the putting on the belt and timing alignment. For future if you purchase a chain wrench it will work on any pulley removal you run into so you don't have a collection of one off expensive specialty tools.
Thanks Ian! Yeah, the Miata belts you have to really get down on eye level to align the marks correctly. It's easy to be off a tooth and not realize it looking at it from a downward angle.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Great vid - thanks so much!! Landcruisers are built to last forever and so any repair to keep them on the road is well worthwhile! Tks again
Anytime, thank you!
Great video! I am looking at getting a gx470 so this is great insight and very similar to the 2jz timing belt water pump change. The job can look intimidating but the knowledge and confidence gained by doing it yourself is priceless and can be passed along to other similar cars and trucks. Just curious but does this engine have cam and a front crank seal that can be changed during this process? I know on my 2jz I did these seals when I was in there, thanks.
Yes they do but mine were bone dry. I don't want to fix what isn't broken and risk creating a leak.
Nice video, the Lexus Dealership here in Reno Nevada just quoted me $1,440 for the work and replacements you just did. Not sure their bid included the new pulley, tensioner, and radiator hoses either? Do you think they are over charging me? Mostly Labor for sure and their shop time is $195 per hr, seems rediculous price gouging to me but then again you did a lot of work there too? Thoughts? Mine is a 2003 LX470...
That seems about right? The parts cost me about 700.00 alone for all OEM Toyota.
Them long long long spanners are I think are called avaition spannners for some reason... lots on amz
supras have them same rad fans.... respect for great work...its how I would sort your garden.....
That sure was a lot of work, no wonder they charge so much for this service. . great video; makes the job less intimidating for anyone who wants to DIY.
It's a PITA but it's certainly doable.
The 1st mistake I see so far is crank on TDC. But I did theses for 23 years. It's a interfering engine. The correct way is when you get the crank TDC and cams lined up. Move crank notch to the pointer. This is 45 degrees off of TDC. Note where your cam notches are lined up. If using Toyota parts, belt is marked, just remember, passenger side is R, driver is L. I removed radiator. Putting a little pressure on them can cost you. I replaced all timing components with new. You can all ways find the your manual for a small fee using Toyota, Lexus public website. Same as we used. All manufacturers have this information. TIS.
I hate working on this things and I’m a Lexus tech for a living 😂
lol
Barca Raw this is one of the easier t-belt jobs around. The 1/2uz motors are not all all difficult. Try the older Audi 4.2 v8, you’d love those
Then you’re probably not that good of a tech. Tell me where you work out of so I can stay the hell away from you.
A pair of large tongue and groove pliers did the trick for me to hold the fan clutch while loosening the nuts. Just open the jaws wide and clamp two adjacent nuts with one pair of pliers while you loosen one of the other two. Don't remove the nuts until they are all loose.
I don't know if you did or not but I always put cardboard on radiator to protect it just incase
Hi! If you still have the lx and looking for new projects then the Tesla screen would for sure be interesting. It seems to be quite popular lately. Love the original look though!
I've been thinking about putting a headunit in so I can Bluetooth music from my phone. What is the Tesla screen mod?

From what I gather there are at least two vendors in the us , rhino and Phoenix auto. They are made in China. Bluetooth in order to keep it stock is also a nice choice!
Nice video, i just got a 2001 LX470 that i would like to change out the time belt. Do you have list of parts and products you used?
Not off hand but if you do a little google searching there are plenty of write-ups for doing this job and what components you should consider. I spoke about everything I changed in the video.
That’s one hell of a clean engine bay. Is it normally this clean on regular driving or do you clean it regularly? Thanks in advance, superb quality video as always. Cheers!
Now I have watched more of the video it’s clear that entirety of the vehicle is dust-free. Where in the world do you have to live in order to have such a clean environment. Brand new vehicles with 1000 miles will have everything covered with dust where I live.
The car is just low mileage and was detailed from the dealer before I purchased it. With that said I wash the engine bay once or twice a year to keep it clean.
@@manlaibaatarganzorigt9049 Here’s a clue. “ WATER “ and a garden hose. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thank you for this vid, quite helpful indeed.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Just the video I needed! Thanks bro!
No problem!
do you have a complete parts list, torque spec for everything or a website that you can refer me to? great video btw
Process is the same as 1uzfe. The easiest way of removing the crank bolt is to soak it with WD40 and let it sit for a night then use impact gun. I didn't use any special tools for removal of crank pully bolt.
cant wait to see you do the front rotors, they are a lot of fun
Yeah I was looking at them when I had the wheels off. Looks interesting. These pads look close to brand new so it won't be for a while until I have to do anything.
Nice job! You should show a picture of all the tools needed, nothing of detail just a overall picture
Everything was basic hand tools minus the crank tool I bought and showed.
I'm about to tackle this on a GX470 I know you said Toyota OEM timing belt, but what brand was that would really like to get one with the timing marks in it as you had. Thanks
Andrew Hill Aisin timing belt kit, it’s OEM
@@colbyd7814 Thanks very much
Hi Andrew, I bought the belt directly from Toyota. I didn't pay attention to see whoa the actual manufacturer of it was.
Awesome video. Can you tell me when the engine is at TDC and the marks on the camshaft pulleys are alligned with the line, why didn't you rotate the engine about 50-degrees counterclockwise?
Very nice
Thank you for the detailed video. How long did it take from start to finish?
About 10 hours taking my time and following a video from another RUclipsr
The Slip Angle what was the parts total cost including all the misc parts you installed at same time. It’s the only way to roll. Thx
Hi!
Can you share the link for the crank pulley holder cause can't find it on Amazon thanks.
Good job respected
How much did all the parts cost (t-belt, water pump, and supporting gaskets, rings, etc.)? I'm about to purchase a 99-00 LX 470 and am trying to get an estimate of maintenance costs.
I don't know the exact total off hand, but I want to say it was around 700.00 for everything including fluids and the crank tool.
@@TheSlipAngle I paid $720 for the first tbelt and all all labor by an ex Lexus, home garage mechanic. Got gates tbelt and pump done at 90k miles. It's at 127k miles now, no problems. I would def pay 3-400 more to have all this done including labor, not worth the price of $700 plus you're doing it all yourself.. Great vid tho
@@21fnasser he bought all OEM parts lol. I dont think they charged 3-400 for labor of 10 hours
Awesome video!
Thank you!
Good video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
how many ways to install timing belt on this vehicle?
sometiimes they set on T mark
Great video as always, Quinn.
Small question: is there an option to upgrade to a electric fan instead of the mechanical clutch fan?
Love from Germany 😊
Thank you Dante! I haven't looked for this car, but I would imagine there has to be a solution. I know a lot of BMW guys convert.
Nicely done.
Thank you Jim!
Well done !
What year is your Lx 470 and how did it run after wards
1998 and excellent! Drove her all winter without a hiccup.
How much did it cost in parts? Thanks for a great DIY vid.
I think around 700.00 but I can't recall
How long did the entire job take? I probably will replace the radiator and possibly the power steering pump and lines while everything is apart.
Probably took me about 10 hours taking my time and watching other videos for tips
Get your self a chain wrench and cam holding tool
Great video! I just purchased a 2007 GX 470 that needs all that work done, can you tell me how much that work will cost, thanks
Well not being a repair shop and doing this on my own I don't know what it would cost. I'm sure places would do it for less than what I'd charge but time for me has become a scarcity so I put a lot more value in it now than when I was younger.
Lexus Vehicles that Last it’s is super clean 🧼 it must of been garaged
Yes I think it was
When you put the O-ring onto the water inlet housing and installed it, did you place any RTV or seal packing after that? If not, has the o-ring done a good job of sealing? The reason I ask is b/c I just took my inlet housing off and they had RTV and an o-ring. Thanks
I don't recall, if something did call for RTV I would have made note of it in the video.
@@TheSlipAngle Just double checking. The repair manual doesn't call for it where I was asking. Just an O-ring like you installed. I guess the people before me applied RTV for some reason unknown.
I love your videos. How is the lexus 2d? I am planning on buying one.
Could someone please tell me the lexus 470 timing bet number.
which goes through the alternator.please…
Great video! Nice car. A question that it's puzzling me: well, the car has 87K and the T-belt is serviced every 90K or every 5 years. The car was always serviced by Lexus. Then I guess they should've replaced the T-belt several times on this 20 year old vehicle. However, there are no stickers (?) in the engine bay with the date and mileage of the last T-belt replaced. Maybe I am wrong but otherwise we can assume that the belt inside is the original that came from the factory ... WOW ... If that's the case it's just amazing it's in such a good shape after 20 years!!
Yeah I couldn't find anything indicating it was done, but the belt that came out was totally fine. I think this car was consistently garaged given it's condition.
Do you still have this truck or the gx470? Any upgrade videos coming on them?
Still have the LX470 and Matt has his GX470. I haven't done anything to it outside of a Carplay head unit and speaker upgrade. It's just a great vehicle :)
@@TheSlipAngle did you have the mark levinson sound? If so, what speakers did you go with? My gx470 needs a set
@@ianmccormick247No I had the Lexus Premium sound. I'll admit due to not having any plug in harness options I brought it to an audio shop I know and they repinned all of my stock connectors with a new amp. I went with Kicker Comp 6.5s" in all 4 doors and have a Skar 6" sub in place of the stock unit, though the Skar unit kinda stinks and I'm going to add a better sub soon.
@@TheSlipAngle copy that. My front passenger are blown and from what I’ve seen the Mark Levinson uses 8 ohm speakers making replacements hard to find. Perhaps audio shop in my schedule as well lol
Great video.
Did you purchase a full oem tb/water pump kit ??
Just bought all the parts individually
Hey OP...what year was your LX.. basically want to now if it was the VVTi or not? as I have a VVTi Tundra engine that I will need to replace timing belt.
98 so no VVTi
Those AC compressor bolts are a pain!!
why a belt and not a chain !
I'm not sure what you are asking. The 2UZ was designed to use a timing belt, not chain.
200 series with chain
Would pulling the radiator out given you a bunch more space?
It would give a little more room but it's not necessary to do so.
How long did it take you start to finish?
It took about 10 hours but keep in mind filming everything adds a great deal of time.
Why didn’t you do the starter trick for the crank bolt?
I could have to loosen it but I'd still need a solution to hold it in place to torque it to 180 ft/lbs
Did you change gloves a lot if not what brand are you using they seem tuff
Yes, just some cheap ones from advance auto parts
Nice job. Now I know why they charge $1500 to change these timing belts.
How long did this job take you to do?
Around 14 hours taking breaks and filming this entire job by myself.
How much it cost to do a job like that parts and labor _ and where is your location
I'm sorry we are not a repair shop
What was your odometer when you did this? What year is this lx
1998 and ODO was at 87k and change.
my question is how many miles did that belt had because it looked in good shape?
87K. It was fine, but it was an unknown so I just wanted to get it out of the way.
@@TheSlipAngle thank you
Any chance of you doing a head unit upgrade?
Yes! I actually want to do that! I like the 6 disc in dash but honestly, I keep all of my music on my phone so it would just be so much more convenient to be able to bluetooth to it.
That A/C line in the way the whole time was pissing me off and I didn't even work on the truck lol
LOL once the fan and shroud are out it wasn't that big of a deal :)
Does Lexus LX470 have an interference or noninterference engine?
Interference
nice rig . . . what year is it?
98
How much would charge if u did the whole job to someone else ?
I wouldn't do this for someone else :P
Where are you located?
Yeahhhhhhh... I'll pay the 1k every 5 yrs to get this done
You do you booboo ;)
You’re absolutely right, way too much work.
Nah man up and handle your business. It’s a cake walk if mechanically inclined at all
The real question is ... is this faster than a miata in a straight line?
Probably lol
Probably not with only 230 hp to the 5,100 lbs it weighs, I have one, they have low end torque, but not much else 🤣
Oops, bad compression rings sign, 30:37 coolant should not move during engine start.
That is not a sign of bad compression, engine spins the waterpump when it runs. Compression is fine. It's been 20k miles since this video and engine has been running without a hiccup.
It's not EASY，dude.
It's not HARD either, bruh ;)
Kinda is, just several steps. If you have a comfortable set up it’s a nice little Saturday
What A Pita!!!!! Definitely Should Have A Timing Chain Not A Belt....
Remove the radiator
Why
THANKS TOYOTA FOR THIS SHITTY ENGINE DESIGN!
Like watching a Wylie Coyote cartoon. Not sure what help this is supposed to be to the average joe....SMH
I'm sorry Chuck. Maybe next time you can make yourself available to come supervise and hold the camera for me to make sure everything comes out perfect.
The average Joe needs to get some tools and dive in. With all these YT videos you’d have to be an idiot to pay anyone to do this, tighten up
