How to install a switch to manually override the LX470 AHC system. (Active height control) Below is a link to the switch I used from Amazon www.amazon.com...
Thanks. Just finished doing the same modifications. Was a little tight, but it works. Gonna be very helpful when trying to keep the truck low for people and the kids to get in and out !!!
Thank you so Much!!! I put 21” wheels on my LX470. I need it to be on Low setting for everyday driving so it doesn’t look too lifted. But when I go off roading and I put the 18” off road wheels and tires on… I need it to stay in high!!! This is the perfect solution!!!
ha relay that simple , slee was putting some type of a black box with cables to achieve this result , anyway when I do low car drops all the way to the bare metal sits on the bushing support 0 suspension
I believe you are correct Thomas. I think the white ½ tube behind it actually breaths cabin air and is used to regulate temps. If left disconnected my understanding is that you'll lose climate control. It'll blow all hot or all cold. (Based on my readings of other's experience. I haven't forgotten to reconnect my tube. Yet...)
Hello I am wondering what are the benefits of driving on the high position over 20 miles per hour ! It improved your mileage ? Driving at high position for a longer period would make your accumulators worn faster !
If I understand correctly, the switch is to turn the override on and off. If I were to just want the override to be always on, so I could manually set my height at will, could I just cut the two cables?
Just did the mod as described, no worries, it works. But what I also found is that it affects the comfort/sport settings, it doesn't work anymore, it's the same when on the hard or soft setting. Does not change anymore. Other than that it's fine. Do you find the same thing?
I don't think I ever played with the dampening while in high and when in normal height I always turned the bypass off. I have since converted to OME/OEM land cruiser suspension.
@@tomaszzyzdorf9862 thanks for you reply. Okay just thought you might have come across it. I just got the vehicle and the mechanic that owned it rebuild the AHC before selling and put LC springs in the rear, a bit better for heavier loads, so no need to change it ...yet!? Works like a charm so far.
Excellent video. Have you tried driving on a smooth highway at speed in the low setting? Be curious to find out how that was. How much suspension travel is left on the low setting, at 2 inches lower than normal?
