Taking our 80 year old moms on a 3500 mile, nearly two week trip to visit seven national parks and the LX is the perfect vehicle for it. I snapped a couple pics at Arches when we were there. Ignore the missing wheel center cap, it’s in the glove...

The front has a smaller length between contact points than the rear position so it will limit up travel more putting the same bumps in that position. For me it would have been too much. My LX would have been engaging them in low mode so I opted...

By a Landcruiser 200, D4D, Diesel V8 with 289hp. Some trip reports are available here: Unsere eigenen Reisen - https://www.4x4tripping.com/p/eigene-reisen.html

Another trip this year ;-) One of the last countries in Europe where you may legally drive on the beach - Albania.

I dont think it looks great either but thats not really the point. Its that or buying a $2500 bumper that looks horrible if you want more clearance, and even then I am not sure specific 2016+ bumpers like the CBI Covert even gets you much more...

It was really popular in the GX world to trim the front bumper. The 2014+ GX has a similar front end to the 2016+ LX570, so I am wondering if any one had attempted anything similar? Cut GX front end: VS not cut:

Find a 2 lane road, preferably in middle of nowhere and drive on the other side of it for a minute, obviously make sure no one is around. I’ll bet it drifts slight left due to crown

Absolutely sublime ride up to Paradise Divide from Slate River Rd outside Crested Butte. But sadly snowpack was still too deep to continue through Schofield Pass.

This is what I came up with filled the void with fiberglass resin then a 1" x 6.5" strap. I think it well hold Also got a new rear Drive shaft from Tom Woods, heavy duty .120 wall dome tube long spline 13.50 u-joints on both ends & new OEM...

As always, happy to be your guinea pig @MTKID! For those just joining us, you'll notice that the Slee rear bumper should measure 1.5" below the factory rear bumper where it's been cut to accommodate. Front bumper is a Valley Overland Co bumper...

Micah, I have your 1.5" BL installed and purchased the stuff you originally told me about to fill that gap. But have yet to measure, cut, and install....

I think you’re asking if you can see different networks at the same time… If so, yes, at least for OBD Fusion on iPhone, once it is “connected” I can see data from at least two Networks at once. Said another way, a dashboard can access and show...

BV weekend.

Exploring old mines near Mt. Potosi.

In Oz there is only one person who seems to be properly tuning them, and they are thousands of km from me.. Plus, with all of the insurance issues, probably easier and same total cost to just put a 7.0l striker kit in.

Add a Harrop 2650, injectors, and tune to your LX if you want to know what the 570 stands for....it's the horsepower it's supposed to have from the factory🏋️‍♂️

Yes, it was on the condensor

My experience with DIY hood risers back in 2006-08 was that it would help vent a ton of heat from the engine bay while in city driving, trails, and at idle preventing heat soak. However, at highway speeds the windshield area is a high pressure...

I finally purchased a whole roll of this trim and I think it’s the best look I’ve found. It looks to be just over 1 1/8” inch tall from the bottom of the groove that will slide over the bumper material. I think this could work for both the 1” and...

Yes sensor lift and then wheels are 17x7.5 with 25mm offset. Tires 35x12.5x17 followed @TeCKis300 thread for making them fit and only rub in reverse while turning and no body mount modifications

@OTRAMM did the install for me. Based on his feedback, it was 12-15 hours total. I didn't get the impression it was more difficult than any other body lift, however there's just more plastic to work around. Here's an old pic in high mode.

First '16+ with a NST body lift I've seen that has stock bumpers. Looks great with those 35x11.50's on it. How difficult was the install??

I might be as close to what you requested. 20” wheels (25mm offset) 285/65/20 Toyo AT3 NST 1” body lift Just trimming, massaging and relocating some of the inner fender pieces.

Got that right, I’ve put them on the side for now and got a set of OZ Rally 18x8.5 et30. Fits much better now 😁

For 35" BFG's the spare fits in the stock location
