    eatSleepWoof's 2019 Erwin Hymer Touring GT550

    I love our little trailer. Yes small. Yes you will bump your head. I love the pop top, and tons of windows. Very easy to move it around when its unhitched. Read up on the axle lift options as its most likely going to be needed if it doesn't have it done yet. I would buy it again.

    eatSleepWoof's 2019 Erwin Hymer Touring GT550

    Hello! Was there a specific reason the shop had them installed with an up angle rather than the recommended 24 degrees down angle? I'm finding there is next to zero suspension to absorb the bumps and worry this is why. Also able to please share the pic when you saw it at the shop in its very...

    Hello good sir! Just wanted to share a pic with you. I used to follow your LX build as I have a 2014 LX as well. This is your Hymer. Out on adventures again. Planning on Dalton Highway next year! I'm in the lower mainland if you ever want to meet up, just DM me. Oh, & thanks for the smart...

    Rear Rotors and brake pads. Easy"ish" job or ?

    Just the pads. Rotors looked really nice after cleaning them up so I figured they were not needed at this time.

    2014 LX570 with only 25,000kms

    Happy new year all, Just stumbled across this and wanted to share. Not my vehicle but I would be seriously considering it if I didn't already own an LX. 25,000kms is crazy low for a 2014 LX. Located in Vancouver, Canada...

    Rear Rotors and brake pads. Easy"ish" job or ?

    Thanks yea I watched that video already. The guys voice almost gives me the confidence to build a landcruiser from scratch... Any recommendation for sourcing (in Canada) the stock OEM rotors and pads? I think the Amazon "Autospecialty" brand is made by "Power Stop" which seem somewhat decent...

    Rear Rotors and brake pads. Easy"ish" job or ?

    Hey legends, Wifey needs new rotors and brake pads on her 2014 LX...which is still running the original at 51,000kms. I thought of buying this thing on Amazon: Autospecialty KOE3073 1-Click OE Replacement Brake Kit And then just giving it a whirl. Never done this before....best to leave it...

    Seat Protection for Child Seats?

    No permanent damage so far. I recommend to clean the bottom of the car seats when putting them back in though. Sometimes they have grit on the bottom of them and I feel that would damage the leather. Either way the LX will be going to the kids as their first vehicle...so if their car seats...

    DIY oil change?

    I did it myself....as the 2nd oil change I have ever done. It was intimidating at first, but google, youtube, and the legends on this forum pretty much walk you thru the steps. In my case all the previous oil changes were done by the highly trained Lexus techs....and they had messed up the...

    Seat Protection for Child Seats?

    I have two car seats back there. I just take them out every odd week or so, and vacuum the seats before applying a leather cleaner. Then I tell the wife to take the other vehicle for a day before I put the car seats back in. Works wonders....and I get to drive the LX for a change ;)

    Good thing gas is cheap, recent trip and very poor mileage towing

    If it makes you feel better, our LX averages about 8.5 - 9.5mpg...without a trailer. We live at the top of a hill and rarely get it out on the highway...
