Yeah, laminated. Two thin windows with a plastic layer. Very close to the same thickness as the tempered version but better for sound dampening. Two thoughts for what they are worth: - Downside; While not a significant risk for me in...

Just a heads up to anyone looking at this 2015 LX in the Dallas area. The cam towers are leaking. I checked it out yesterday and while it looked really good, I got a glimpse of oil and took it to the local Lexus dealer for further inspection...

His pain is over. Our time was short but incredibly sweet. I have a huge hole in my heart. My house is so incredibly empty and quiet. I’m unbelievably grateful you were in our lives. I will miss you my great friend. At some point...

Doodlin’ around the garden

I'd pass on both and I live in Maine where rust in inevitable. What's your location and budget?

She sure does like soaking herself.

Recent eclipse trip to northern VT. Many pups, good times

Updates of yesterday. We drove around as he loves that. Picked up my son early from practice. Head out the window as usual. Cheeseburger Ice cream cup Spending a peaceful night sitting on the yard until the sun goes down...

Thanks for your thoughts. He has had a wonderful life of living without fences or leashes on acreage. Going all over with me and the work from home the last 1.5 years has been a huge blessing.

If he does break it are you going to be able to get a 140# dog into a vehicle and to the vet. Do you want your last hours with him/her to be a super painful episode? I'm only saying this from a practical/end of life perspective. I went...

I'm very sorry for the heartache and what your pup is going through. I'll pass on some words of wisdom given to me by our vet when my lab had kidney failure a few years back. After going over all of the possible options, I asked her what she...

Be with him when he gets the injections. That’s when you’ll need each other the most.

I had an issue that a number of others are experiencing with their 100 series. Four out of six of my gauges worked only about 10% of the time. The rest of the time they were just dead. Research led me to believe that my stepper motors needed...

More thoughts needed from the group. I have a deposit on two vehicles and need to decide today on which one I go with. 2 years worth of miles or 2 years worth of rust? 105k miles with zero rust or 75k miles with minimal rust? All else is...

A MPG update. On the drive home with the 20 in stock wheels and Dueler tires (76lbs and 8 years old) i got 18.2 mpg on hwy (72-75MPH) with the new tires and RW's i got 19.4 mpg at the same speeds. Very happy with this setup......

Hello Mudmates, I had ben in a quandary between KO3's and Defenders for a few weeks for the right tire for my new 2011LX570. I don't do much off-roading anymore so the KO3's were more than i need but have a great look. The Defenders are a nice...

Taxes

We bought our LC new in 2006, my daughter was four years-old, my son was two. It hauled the two of them and our two dogs and all their friends anywhere and everywhere we wanted to go. One of my favorite experiences with the cruiser was when my...

You cant buy the lower ball joints from Toyota like that. They only sell the whole lower arm. Most of us get the 555 ball joints (myself included) from cruiseroutfitters.com - a big supporter of the community...

Any one know the part number for the lower ball joints? 2005 LC. All I'm finding is complete lower control arm. Ball joints and 4 shocks are on the "to do list" so now would be a good time to order the parts. Thanks

Wrapped her in Army Green. Have to reset my brain from seeing it go from white to green

Definitely a bit rough around the edges, but with some TLC, polish and new wheels you can avoid paying the massive green markup! Thanks for sharing.

***NOT MINE, NO AFFILIATION WITH THE SELLER*** Anyone looking for an affordable Amazon Green LC? Looks like it has potential.

Sounds fair to me for what it's worth. Maybe priced a tad high on paper but impeccable condition and history is worth a lot. I'm willing to fudge $1-2k for something that hits all the right boxes which sounds like this does.
