  • How Do Timbren Springs Install on the Front Axle of a 2004 Lexus GX 470
  • We have not yet had the chance to install Timbren front suspension enhancement springs # TTOFTAC4A so we do not have a video. We do have the instructions which I have linked for you below. Installation is fairly straight forward. There are 4 steps: 1) Raise vehicle allowing the axle to hang freely. 2) Where four bump stops exist, remove the rear bump stop. 3) Mount Timbren assembly using existing holes and Timbren supplied fasteners. 4) Lower vehicle.

  • Roof Rack or Platform Rack For A 2019 Lexus GX460
  • The Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRVP23 does require you to remove the flush side rails or raised roof rails in order to access the fixed mounting points and install. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System - 84" Long x 49" Wide # RR93AB also installs directly to the fixed factory mounting points on your vehicle's roof.

  • Is Trailer Connector On Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for 2007 Lexus GX 470 Removeable
  • The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # HM43374 which is a fit for a 2007 Lexus GX 470 with tow package features a one-piece molded connector and harness. The trailer connector is non-removable like some other options you'll see. That said, it features both 4 and 7-way connections and it has its own mounting bracket so there should really be no need to replace this. Simply locate the two plugs that the harness will use at the back of the vehicle...

  • Recommended Torque Wrench for Trailer Hitch Installation
  • For the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12172, there really isn't a solution other than to use a torque wrench. Without torqing the necessary bolts to the manufacturer specs, you void the warranty and can have safety issues when using the hitch receiver. If you want to purchase one, I recommend the torque wrench # ALL944001 or the digital adapter # ALL940962. There are many auto parts stores that now rent tools as well if you prefer to go that route, but...

  • Where Does Trailer Connector Install On Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver 75956?
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75956 you were looking at for your 2021 Lexus NX 300 has a built in mount to connect the trailer connector to which you can see in the included pictures. If you have a 4-way connector you would need the Mounting Bracket # 18144, or if you had a 7-way connector you would need the # A10-9394VP instead. Since the connector sits behind the bumper you shouldn't have any issues with a carwash damaging it. I included...

  • Location of Wiring Harness on 2009 Lexus RX 350
  • We have fitted trailer wiring harnesses on the 2nd Generation Lexus RX 350. Assuming the 3rd Generation Lexus 350 is similar, you will have to remove several interior panels in the rear storage compartment to access the vehicle’s taillight wiring harness connector. See the diagram I made which shows the vehicle’s taillight wiring harness connector's location, and the linked video on how to remove the panels. You will then plug in the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118478. This will give...

  • Installing Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 118652 on 2016 Lexus NX 300h
  • I am sorry to hear about the issues you're having trying to gain access to the connectors behind the tail lights of your 2016 Lexus NX 300h. I reached out to my contact at Tekonsha to see if he had any insight on this and he said they haven't received any customer feedback themselves on the T-One # 118652 regarding the install process so he wasn't able to provide any additional info. I definitely do see the other customer reviews that you mentioned describing similar trouble though. You...

  • How Visible is Curt Class III Hitch Part # 13530 When Installed on 2008 Lexus RX350
  • The Curt Class III Receiver, part # 13530 will be visible from the rear when installed like the 2007 model in the video you saw. The position of the receiver and cross bar is dictated by the location of the attachment points and the structure of the exhaust. Although they come from different manufacturers, the layout and structure of the Curt and Draw-Tite receivers are very similar. I will provide links below to the install instructions for both the Curt # 13530 and the Draw-Tite #...

  • How to Determine Ground Clearance with a Trailer Hitch Installed on a 2016 Lexus ES 350
  • For the 2016 Lexus ES 350 I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36530 for a few reasons. First, it is a Class II hitch which means you are not limited to carrying just 2 bikes like you would with Curt hitch # C11362. And second if you did use the Curt hitch then Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using the hitch for anything other than a trailer. Draw-Tite does not have that requirement. The way the hitches had to be designed to fit the 2016 ES 350 means that there...

  • Will Clamps of Inno Aero Bar Roof Rack Scratch Paint on Vehicle Roof
  • The Inno aero bar roof rack that fits your 2015 Lexus CT 200h uses fit kit # INK233 that clamps on to the underside of your door jambs. This metal clamp does not have padding but the system does include four pads for the bottoms of the four feet to provide a cushioned surface to protect your paint. This component is used along with the bars # INXB93-2 and foot pack # INXS200 to complete the rack. All racks for your car use this same clamping type of mounting method. When any accessory...

  • We do not carry the Curt Powered 3 to 2 Wire Converter 59146 you have, but I would be happy to go over how it installs.

  • Does Wiring Harness for 2001 Lexus RX 300 for Factory Tow Package Require Programming
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C55245 does not require any programming as it is a simple replacement for the factory 4-flat on your 2001 Lexus RX 300; it does require the fuse be put into the location shown in the accompanying photo I added from the linked installation instructions. If you did not already have the factory 4-flat then this wiring harness would not work and you would instead need the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496.

  • Installation Difficulty and Suspension Concerns When Using a Trailer Hitch on a 2007 Lexus IS250
  • We usually gauge trailer hitch installation difficulty by how long it takes to install the hitch. This hitch requires that the exhaust be temporarily lowered and that a heat shield be modified or trimmed so the hitch will fit. We estimate that if you have all the proper tools and another person to help, it will take about 50 minutes to install the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11372. If you have some automotive experience, this installation will be mildly difficult. I have included a link to the...

  • How Does the Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harness Install on a Lexus GS350 2010
  • To install the Wiring # C59496 on your 2010 Lexus GS 350 you will need to test the wires of the taillight harness with the included circuit tester you have found to determine the functions of all of them and then wire the # C59496 to the appropriate wires as the instructions and diagram I attached indicate. I wish I had more specific instructions but we haven't had the chance to install this harness on a vehicle like yours so I can't give you more specific instructions than that. To get...
