New here to Ih8mud, looks like an awesome community with a ton of knowledge!
Purchased my first non American car in February of 2017, of which is my 2005 Lexus Lx470 named Casper, and I love it! I purchased by Lexus with a little under 123K thousand miles, and I am currently sitting at 145K. I purchased Casper bone stock, with the dreams of turning it into an off roading beast! I have slowly been accomplishing that over the course of my 1 year ownership. This truck was beyond clean, as it was a Texas truck, with the exception of a few small things. The Rear tail fin is the worst, as it has been repainted badly at some point in its life, and the upper hatch has two small rust spots. But apart from that, the undercarriage is the cleanest thing I've seen. Without further ado, here is my project!
First thing that I changed was the tail lamps, which happened in June. I replaced them with the 2006-2007 model year LED's as I felt they looked better.
The next big change was swapping over to KMC XD Grenade style wheels. My stock lx470 wheels were curb rashed and looked terrible. Also added a pair of BFG K02s for a rugged look.
The last two things I added this past year was a 3 inch Old Man Emu lift kit, and Bushwacker OE fender flares.
I still have a lot that I would like to accomplish, from front and rear bumper set ups, to a light bar and roof rack, and lastly a pair of sliders. Love my current project, and looking forward to many years of enjoyment with my Beast!
