If I am not wrong I think you got to change the whole instrument panel with GCC specs or similar car that shows in Kms. More experts can comment here: @Barry @shadow79

Yup because Lexus is among one of the best built cars and their scrap parts from accidental cars run forever.

Off course get it sooner than later before they change their mind (you never know).

Off course Basit, you are more than welcome anytime. Rahim bhai was sharing some of your 4x4 hunting details with me and I'm happy that you are choosing second car as a weekend warrior. Smart thinking.

Here is the video of our last week drive:

When you fix a new ICV, RPM will be little rough and don't worry it will slowly re-learn the ideal idle RPM. After 5-10 km in stop and go drive pattern unscrew the whole RPM adjuster, car will stall for 2-3 time and after that automatically adjust the RPM when cold and hot. After all that's what the job of ICV (Idle Control valve). Some people also says if it doesn't re-learn then unplug the battery terminal completely for 5-10 minutes and it will reset all ICV reading. In my case 6G74 engine, ICV re-learn the perfect setting in 15-20 minutes drive in internal roads where you slow down and speed up every 300-400 meter (not highway).

@Hbahrameh Any update if you have fixed your problem.....?

@shadow79 If you bring cycle make sure it's 4x4 to meet drive requirement. On a serious note, try to join as you might add some value from your workshop expertise.

It is indeed mental satisfaction, as I have felt the same when many many years ago I tried few times in my Range and felt nothing. Then through 100's of forum and thousand's of user experience I realize it's called snake oil in Internet slang. https://www.yahoo.com/news/bottled-magic-or-snake-oil-the-truth-about-118805206027.html

Unfortunately there is nothing "Best 'out of the box' 4x4" in this existing world as every top performer lacks in one or the other element and require either bit of adjustment or upgrades.

Well done @Asif Hussain great point made (added above), thanks for your community contribution.
