With this video you should be able to rebuild and get to all hydraulic cylinders. There is a variety of kits online for seals. Dont overthink it and it wont be hard. The key to removing the clips holding in the ram seals is a thin screwdriver. I recomend buying these scredrivers to start www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Precision-Phillips-Slotted-Screwdriver-Set-4-Piece-48-22-2604/205315995?source...

Did you use the same pad on the whole car?
All that crap that you cleaned out of the carburetor was old dried up ethanol fuel

I like the way you talk👍much agree
i just got one, a 2005, and i talked him down to $3,150 cause it is doing the common slam downshift into first, i did a fluid drain on the trans and it didn't change anything about how it shifts. Thus i plan on getting the ecu repaired as it is what i see is the most common cause of this issue. the car has 224,000 miles on it, but the engine is still healthy and the trans shifts great while accelerating until i slow down and get to the last 3 gears with it getting more aggressive until the last shift into first.
Investing in some quality tools goes a long way. Beating yourself up with cheap tools brings the skint knuckles, blood and scars to remind you Hey dammit why don't i start investing in a real bench vise some non harbor freight 10 dollar wrenches. That's the shit you buy for relatives birthday, christmas, etc or that ass hole at work that you drew his name. Good job
I find you to be a very funny guy. Love you vid.
I had one same color with 17 inch Crome wheels and rear spoiler.
Is this car good for college students that have part time jobs in restaurants?
I dont see why it wouldn't be
@Maybe1Someday I know they are super reliable but this will my first V8 car I hope gas and lexus parts will not cost too much for my current income. I can change my own oil and do brake pads shouldn't be difficult though to keep maintenance costs down. According to this video I don't think it's too bad cost wise I can't wait to buy one
Dudes sounds like Jon from Garfield 😂
Thank you so much ❤
Ain’t no way these are single-stage paint. I had to use wool to even get a good cut on my briarwood pearl. Maybe it’s different for black, but this paint is not soft in the slightest.
Made a 6 minute video out of a 30 second instructional. Congratulations. You suck
Zip tie just a crappy bodge will not last 5 mins , why not use a small nut and bolt with lock tight.......
How long did it take? Great job!
I tried this method to refoam my subwoofer on my 2003 LS 430. Worked out great.
@@jamesflint3057 the process of refoaming is pretty easy and cost effective. This method is also much easier then other peoples videos. Glad it worked out good
Did you have to wait another hour for the outer edge to dry?
This was a mega cool video

Hi Kevin,thanks for your videos,kindly could you tell us something about the hydraulic cylinders of the roll bar pls thanks.
Greatings from Australia mate...I would have bought a new Carby mate..!
You need to clean your flywheel with emery cloth along with the points. then put your points back on a set them with a paper credit card. Which you can get from junk mail.
@@kriegmeister1 good idea
NICE MOWER U GO GUMPING NOW. 😊😊
Im telling my kids this is napoleon dynamite
You definitely sound like the visine dry eyes commercial guy.
Is there any "drone" on motorways?
Hello & Thanks for providing the simple instructions allowing me to lower the soft top. I personally enjoy the soft top. It keeps all of the rain out with no difficulties and personally I think the car looks better with the soft top. Your instructions are particularly helpful as I need to pick-up my hardtop from a friends garage. I am in need of a replacement of all of the hydraulic mechanisms which, by the way, can cost up to 1,400. each. However, in Southern California I have a gentleman (although there are others) that purchase the cylinders rebuilt and they also will replace the cloth top with a German made product matching the original. The entire cost is somewhere around 3,500.-3,900.. A remarkable deal if you wish to keep your R129 intact as I do. Everything on my car, a '92, works. Everthing. We shouldn't be shy about searching the internet for replacement new or used parts - they are quite available. Thanks again!
A video demonstration without actually showing it.
I have a 2003 LS430. Radio works but when I turn up the volume, it cuts off & on. What’s the problem?
There are a set of air openings for the trunk very lose to the Nav box and the amp. If you drive though a deep puddles in pouring rain these vents an allow brake dust dirt mositure and water into the wheel well, that will cause metal corrosion problems on your eletronics terminals. Seal up the "vents" with duct tape or HVAC duct sealer and keep the car in the garage if you can in bad weather.
How bad is the drone on the highway at 2,000 RPM? This seems like a nice and cheap mod without getting unreasonably loud... but also seems like you might ruin the ability to peacefully cruise at 70-75 mph which would be a huge con.
Guys kill me when they jump into a luxury car and then start driving like they're qualifying for the NASCAR 500
Amazing. Easy and it worked! I wish you made all the DIY videos on you tube.
I'll say it again but on this video of yours sir, I am a proud owner of an '04 sport suspension package model onyx black 5 spoke chrome plated rims interior is tan. not probably but most definitetly the smartest purchase I've ever made in my 32 years on this planet. Have a nice day =)
Thank you for making this video
Better think about getting new tires soon..
lool i like this and it would be fine if it was any other lexus or toyota but its an LS and LSes should be treated better. the oem repair is always worth it on these considering theyll last literally forever if treated right
Good job mate, you should get a Porsche 911, you only live once.
Id like to thank Amanda Bynes and Rich The Kid for the making of this video
Just found our the passenger side arm will not extend, the driver side does and the sun blocking net seems to be missing. Thanks for your video. I hope it helps me troubleshoot my problem. I like the creativity of using the electrical wire to hold the net onto the bracket.
Terrible video you’re scattered and dealing with a spaghetti bowl of wires
I have the same lawn mower but can't get it to run. It starts, runs for about 30 seconds then dies. I have replaced the carburetor and added fresh fuel. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
The Celsior is going to be legal very soon. It's going to be a much better deal.Then the ones you were showing
A 60k mi. LS430 in 2024 will cost at least $15k+ (biden inflation)
Ive had an 05 Black on Black modern luxury sport suspension for almost 5 years and just gave it to my son who just got his license. Love the car so much just bought the same car in Flint Mica on black
Thanks homie
This guy doesn't take care of this car, its shameful. Yeah like he is really going to go back and buy the new top.
It looks good. My daughter has one but I can't get it started. It doesn't have a battery., it must have some kind of internal voltage producing system. Could you go through the starting sequence? Thanks!!!.
Hey, Thanks Much for Posting this. It helped me change by Battery in my 2024 - You Rock
