Figured I’d document, compare, and contrast my observations while owning both trucks.
Background- I’ve owned 2 100 series trucks, a 200 series lx570 from 2015 and and just purchased a 2017 lx570 with 70k miles on it.
2015 lx570- I’ve owned...
Hello everybody ;-)
It hasn’t been a week, exactly but I’ve just collected my car from the wrapper last night and put on the new tyres today.
- satin wrap, dual colour
- alloys renovated and powder coated in satin black
- rear “LC” decor, rear...
She's too dirty for a glamour shot so this will do. Butt and facelift complete. Really liking how the body lift is almost undetectable without unforseen gaps and fitments, but notably taller with more approach and departure at the bumpers...
I've owned a lot of Toyotas (SR5 truck, Supra, 4 Runner, Celica, Corolla, MR2, Lexus ES 250). I've owned Hondas, 2 Subarus, Chevy and Buick station wagons, and a Nissan Maxima. My first car, and the one I regret the most selling, was my 1978...
For my 50th birthday my amazing bride of 28 years surprised me with a '14 black on black 200! I know, I know, I am super spoiled in many ways. A big thanks with the help and consultation from @RocketCityCrzrs she found a great bone stock one...
I moved from OEM p-metric tires on my previous (2008) LX to load range D KO2 and the ride was harsh. I now run load range C Toyo AT3s and find them much better on ride quality and gas mileage.
Yes! It was the dash switch! Huge thank you !!!
After I washed under the rig for about 5 mins, I warmed up the gears really well. Took off the switch and it had plenty of tension - but it moved easily. Then, it went into H4 quickly!!! Thank...
Life changes, and my wife and I wanted a 4 door car to support having a family in the future. Somehow, neither of us have ever owned a 4 door car. Luckily, my good friend who has a 200 bought a new Tremor and asked me if I wanted his 200 that I...
Weekend trip on the SCAR (South Carolina Adventure Route) over presidents day weekend, and a full Monday swapping a buddy's suspension back to stock, so the the OME 2.5" lift can be transferred to my truck. Also picked up a set of Full underbody...
I discovered that the Anker 621 magnetic power bank is a near perfect fit in the weird tray in front of the shifter on my 2013 LX. Width and corner radius is perfect, but it's not quite long enough as you can see. I removed the rubber mat for a...
For the past 14 years I've driven a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. I drove it from 112,000 miles to 250,000 miles. All I did was oil changes, change front wheel bearings, and take care of any recalls. It was reliable, simple, and took me everywhere I wanted...
I know… I’ve been a bad cruiser friend.
I now take people around the world on (mostly) vehicle based adventures. Because of that, I’ve had my focus tunneled to those clients. So from planning these trips, to building the trucks, then shipping...
How 'bout a moving picture?
Took my LX out to our local off road park with a couple of Jeep guys. I've only ever been offroad while on vacation with the wife and kids, and no one else around, so it was nice to push the LX a little harder in a...
