I used my LX as a daily driver and did a little wheeling out at the Five Mile ORV park for the year I lived in Spokane. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures. I moved out to Des Moines, IA the in 2007 for school. I lived right across the street from school, so the LX sat for virtually ten months. I think she felt a little neglected so I decided to treat her with some reconditioning with money I earned from a research stipend. This is when the madness began. The following is a list of modifications and maintenance I completed over the summer/fall of 2008. I couldn’t have done all of this without the help of the great members here on MUD or without the nice OEM part discounts from Cruiserdan. Thanks again! My landlord almost had a stroke when she walked into my garage in the middle of the front axle service.

The LS is not mine. I thought it was interesting that Lexus did the same paint scheme on other cars.
