My local WM is the same. But a lot worse. Most everything in the toy department is under lock and key too.

Parts like this, it's always a good move to get OEM when possible. I say this because there might be times where the OEM replacement part has been up-rev'ed to an improved design.

Not even close.

I never raised but I have supported the front end with a pad-less stand on the pinch weld of my old LS400 without issue. I put the stands at the location specified in the FSM. I wouldn't lift the vehicle with any kind of jack directly on the pinch weld, unless the lifting pad had some kind of...

I would definitely go with the Astro or a Safari. Depending on the year, they came with different fuel injection systems; TBI, CPI, SCPI and MPFI. The CPI/SCPI used a single, centrally located fuel injector and individual poppet injectors at the ports (resembled a "spider"). The MPFI used the...

I remember finding ATF in a '68 Chrysler Newport 4-speed. The Legend specs SE/SF, SAE 30, 10w-30, 10w-40, 20w-40. I use RedLine MTL.

I ran into drums being NLA when I still had my '63 Bonneville (5-lugs). I was running oversized front drums forever. The car stopped OK but if I was on the brakes for an extended length of time, the brakes would fade, then come back. They worked better when toasty. I still see Pontiacs with...

Sac loves me so much, I'm getting calloused ankles. The view from behind --->🙃

That's because. "Virginia is for lovers." :LOL:

See signature.

Sacramento HATES me. 😕

3rd Gen guys have been doing Rustoleum and equipment paint paint jobs for a while. Spraying paint while the car is parked in dirt. 😬 https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body/546612-ultimate-budget-paint-job.html

Maybe it's old school thinking, but in this vintage book: https://www.amazon.com/Hotrod-Big-Block-Chevys-John-Thawley/dp/0912656042 I recall reading that capacity doesn't have much cooling effect. It just takes longer for the oil to get to temperature. It's more effective to run an external...

Remember the commercials when Infinity launched in NA? Narration and scenes of nature. NO cars. Everyone said it was doomed to fail.

Most of the folks on Club Lexus mail order parts from Bell Lexus. They regularly run holiday sales, discounts, etc. https://www.belllexusnorthscottsdale.com/ Sewell Lexus (Dallas) was THE go-to. But for some reason, they abruptly stopped doing mail order about 10 years ago. I usually order...

Drove my cousin's '63 Super 90 once. I was hooked. It died a terrible death; totaled when someone rear ended it in East Palo alto.

If it has the blue hued sombrero, I'm in.

Check Carfax to see what's available in your area for your price range. You're just feeling out the market and I find this is a good way to get a general idea of what's out there. Prices/mileage/condition vary quite a bit, in my experience. It will also give you a bit of leverage if you...

I've used a product called Kreem. I believe it was one of the first products that came out for this purpose. I used it on a 1972 Yamaha CS5 fuel tank with great success. The tank had pin holes in the lower areas of the tank (typical). It's a pretty straight forward process. I wasn't paying...

Not much to do today. Checked the fluid levels in the LS430 and the Highlander. Gave the dipstick of the Highlander a whiff. 😳 Now I know what oil from a DI engine smells like. The oil has been run for 3,895 miles. Might be time to run a few Blackstone samples.
