So I'm in a spot where I can do some upgrades to the LX450. She's got great torque and taking things in 4L is a lot of fun. What's not a lot of fun is leaving Denver and going up into the mountains and hearing the engine scream at me as I have it floored and I'm barely doing 55mph. What would be...

Bumper SuperStan that is an awesome bumper! If that's the one you homemade you need to post some more detailed pics! Thanks for the info guys, guess I'll be buying some Al's or Raptor liner

I'm looking at coating my trim pieces and hood in either plasti dip or one of the many bed liners out there. I've not done this before so I was hoping to get info on how your project has held up. Did you sand the paint off? Spray or roll on? Problems you ran into or something you wish you...

Has anyone tried using a sequoia cargo cover to make one for their 80? If so any issues with the fit or installing it? I don't really want to put in tint since nothing but "pull me over officer" would be 100% effective (and might attract hood rats).

Thanks guys, I just ordered the part from Ebay... that is a great money saver! I just wish I could've paid for quicker shipping. Does anyone know of a good mechanic that's familiar with these rigs on the East side? I work on Buckley AFB and nobody seems to know any. I kind of trust the...

So I just picked up a new 1997 Lexus LX 450, and I'm excited to have a big truck once again and look forward to modifying it and making it look like it belongs in Colorado. One of the weird selling points I got from the dealer was that it apparently was used to haul the Bronco's mascot for the...
