Looking for Factory chrome Pie Plates, 5stars, or Nice 18 inch Aftermarket’s. Can travel

I picked it up for $3300 by the first owner who was a grandma, she needs some basic maintenance but was this a good pickup? Its a custom luxury too 🥹

Few days ago started up 2005 Ls43 UL after being dead over the winter. I had the pulley whining issue, so had a mobile mechanic come by to change the belt/pulleys and boost the car. He replaced the items.. but when tried boosting with a portable one, car couldnt start. Then he jumper cabled the battery and car turned on for 5 mins.. then shut off in ON ignition. Car started smoking in the rear, turns out, rear battery caught on fire. Was able to put out fire, call the fire guys get the battery removed, but most of my wiring on the passenger side are fried..

Dropped it off to mechanic, he put in a new battery and car runs fine.. windows/locks most stuff working (expect tail light on right side) but told me oem cost for wiring is like 10-12k so insurance will write it off.

Ive spent prob triple the amount fixing and repairs etc. Obviously I will try to buy back car and get whatever I can and try getting it fixed.

If yall can help me out with parts, would be amazing.

looking to buy an LS 430. It has no infotainment display. Where can I get one added? And how would it look?

Posted here yesterday because it was whining, so I took everything apart again and rerouted the belt. It seems like its under too much tension before I pull the pin on the tensioner? Am I good to pull the pin and send it or did I fuck up? Need advice please

Just picked up my first ever LS430. 06’ with 284k miles and it feels like new still. Previous owner bagged it few months ago w the bagriders pro kit and took great care maintenance wise. I dont plan on changing much i just wanna run this thing to 500K and ill be happy. Glad to have found such an awesome community sharing the same passion. Open to suggestions and questions!

(Serpentine belt is off in the video to isolate the noise)

This is the first time I ever changed one and it's been a minute since I started the car so idk if this is a normal sound or not

I'm thinking about buying it, but it seems a little pricey. I'm going to check it out on Saturday. What's a good price point for this? 150,000 Miles

These pictures are kinda bad I’m kind of in a rush but like I’ve tried a iron remover before and it literally didn’t do anything even if I let it sit
What can I do to remove the brake dust and whatever is on the face of the wheel ? I need something strong what do yall recommend it?

Figured out about a company making the harness I need, also figured out more about the import law issues currently. Niceeeeeee.

Hi, can I see your stock hight LS430 with rims? I want to keep my stock suspension but want some better looking wheels.

Never seen anything like it before
