First scratch on that darn low hanging chin today. Drove up a burm to check out flex. Rear is almost as flexy as my 2019 JLUR, front not so much. Towed great, drove up the rough roads at the hunting lease great, very grateful for this awesome...

Welp I got over my bias for naturally aspirated humongous under stressed engines by buying my first turbo/hybrid engine lando. Only time will tell but I am happy giddy inside like a kid again and I guess thats what matters I think the times have...

Welcome to the club. It's a good place to be.

Welp guys.... the dealership salesman got me to buy something I didn't need, but I decided to buy it since it was such a cool car. Going through the paperwork now. Likely tomorrow I get it in my door step. Will do a review and pics over-view once...

I just received a vm from my dealer and my 2 row is being built and will be here in six weeks (ish)! Also working with Slee and Dissent on builds. Likely going with Dissent (I love the bumpers with them) but haven’t decided yet.

Stoney Pass Interestingly, a 3/4 ton Ford was stuck up the trail off of a ledge so I jumped in the 200 to go and see if we could help with recovery. It’s difficult to explain, but the 200 is like driving a 4x4 and the 300 just glides through...

About as much as my wife will let me mod the LX right now. Titan-7 forged wheels T-AK2’s +35 reusing the factory Toyo AT III tires. Normally it’s on N height but jacked it to H2 for the pic.

Glad I can help you spend money. 😆 🤣

I too went down the rabbit hole and actually thought the portals were a fantastic idea for a vehicle with such a great performing AHC system, and one that has so many sensors, and accessory systems. You gain almost 4 inches in lift in Normal...

Agree on all points. Thanks for nothing, now I want to do it again.

I was chatting with Slee at Overland Expo (Amory and Christo) and I looked all around their Honey Badger build. -Sliders are frame-mounted. In fact, they did something pretty cool where they built effectively a steel sleeve that goes over the...

1) set to h1 or h2 and it will automatically lower as you speed up, then go back up once you slow down. 2) original topic: some people are really bothered by the "fart" when the engine starts up. I've got good hearing and it's not a problem...

Some places in California are $6+ a gallon for 91 octane. 🤮

I love my Earth because it’s unique and so un-Lexus like. I’ve already been asked a handful of times if it was a custom painted already, but Nori was a close second choice when I looked.

Glad they’re working with you on it. So far, my favorite overall dealer in Texas.

OK. For you 2-row hunters out there, I was told by Lexus NorthPark Toyota in San Antonio that my build was accepted by Lexus and the allocation should be landing in their system in 15 to 30 days. From there another probably 60 to 90 days for the...

Oh my…

Basically no rake now. Falken 285/65R18 Normal (35" high): H1 (36"): H2 (38"): w/ little sister

Rubbing is minimal and only at full lock. If i’m rubbing the liner, I can’t figure out where (yet) as there aren’t any witness marks with the exception of the sway bar. I suspect the tires are contacting the liner at times (like a mogul at the...

Hopefully, this helps anyone considering running 35s. It takes a lot more work to do it right (no rubbing) than I was ultimately willing to undertake. I did repaint the sway bars where it was rubbed down to bare metal. Everything is back to...

Before and after. It’s difficult to capture the perspective of the stance, it’s slight, but the tires are now pushed to the edge of the body.

After running my 35 inch tires for a while, I decided to put on wheel spacers. I previously ran spiderTrax wheel spacers on my 200 series, and for three years and a ton of trails I never had an issue. **edited** The 1" wheel spacers ultimately...

Toyota might slap an 8000 lb rating on it, and almost everything else on the truck is well up to the task…. But needless to say here, the 112.2” wheelbase is always going to be a 112.2” wheelbase. Having towed the same and similar loads between...

35s!!! Toyo AT III 285/75/18

You going to be at Cruiserfest? Ok. Just a modest collection. The essentials with stock backups. And the Wife’s 250 with a set of GX550 t/o wheels to get rid of the 20’s. Like I said, I “may have a problem”.
