What do you prefer, fixing up older vehicles and keeping them on the road or buying something brand new and why?

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

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

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Big help to all the Landcruiser fan boys like me!

Well done !

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.

Awesome video!!!!!!!!

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

Good job respected

Just the video I needed! Thanks bro!

Nicely done.

thank you for this vid, quite helpful indeed.

Awesome video!

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

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.

Hi! Can you share the link for the crank pulley holder cause can't find it on Amazon thanks.

do you have a complete parts list, torque spec for everything or a website that you can refer me to? great video btw

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.....

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.

Good video! Thanks!

cant wait to see you do the front rotors, they are a lot of fun

Thank you!!

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 😊

I love your videos. How is the lexus 2d? I am planning on buying one.

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’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!

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.

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.

how many ways to install timing belt on this vehicle? sometiimes they set on T mark

Could someone please tell me the lexus 470 timing bet number. which goes through the alternator.please…

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?

Thank you for the detailed video. How long did it take from start to finish?

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.

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!

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

Great video. Did you purchase a full oem tb/water pump kit ??

I don't know if you did or not but I always put cardboard on radiator to protect it just incase

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

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

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.

How much did it cost in parts? Thanks for a great DIY vid.

What year is your Lx 470 and how did it run after wards

I hate working on this things and I’m a Lexus tech for a living 😂

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.

Nice job! You should show a picture of all the tools needed, nothing of detail just a overall picture

Did you change gloves a lot if not what brand are you using they seem tuff

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.

Would pulling the radiator out given you a bunch more space?

Any chance of you doing a head unit upgrade?

Why didn’t you do the starter trick for the crank bolt?

How long did it take you start to finish?

Get your self a chain wrench and cam holding tool

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.

Lexus Vehicles that Last it’s is super clean 🧼 it must of been garaged

my question is how many miles did that belt had because it looked in good shape?

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!!

Do you still have this truck or the gx470? Any upgrade videos coming on them?

nice rig . . . what year is it?

How long did this job take you to do?

How much it cost to do a job like that parts and labor _ and where is your location

What was your odometer when you did this? What year is this lx

Does Lexus LX470 have an interference or noninterference engine?

How much would charge if u did the whole job to someone else ?

Those AC compressor bolts are a pain!!

why a belt and not a chain !

The real question is ... is this faster than a miata in a straight line?

Nice job. Now I know why they charge $1500 to change these timing belts.

That A/C line in the way the whole time was pissing me off and I didn't even work on the truck lol

It's not EASY，dude.

Yeahhhhhhh... I'll pay the 1k every 5 yrs to get this done

Oops, bad compression rings sign, 30:37 coolant should not move during engine start.

Remove the radiator

What A Pita!!!!! Definitely Should Have A Timing Chain Not A Belt....

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
