Not trying to brag but mine got here and put on yesterday… ordered from Tire Rack

Do you recommend either of these?

And i thought i was crazy with 2 Lexuses… damn! My local mechanic runs crossclimates as well and had good things to say. Might go w those just to mix it up. Thanks for the reply.

This sort of brings up another question… since my wife took the LX, i am dailying her car atm and it also needs tires. 2007 RX 400h. Do i put defenders on that too? It does not go offroad. Any non defender suggestions for a small old SUV? Or - talk me into putting the same tires on both…

Lol: Cons: Does not look cool for your cars and coffee events I guess the reason i was initially hesitant was i had read so much good about these tires off road that I assumed they would be loud on the highway or at least louder than something else. I currently hate the kumho exctas i have...

Placed an order w tire rack, looks like im gonna be on back order for a few weeks… thanks everyone! Went with the 18s - XL. Looking forward to it!

Hi all, My 2011 LX was reclaimed by my wife to be a minivan for our one small child. It currently has 18’ LC stock wheels and is now driven just about exclusively around town and on highway. It gets driven through snow and occasionally deep snow 5-10x year, other than that just about all paved...

Thanks for the reply! Jealous of the aux fuse box, that looks awesome. Finally got the wire run under the speaker after an hour or two of cussing at it. Currently just into the cigarette lighter but im going to start with just a simple tap to the passenger side fuse box. Thanks for the inspo!

Hi @CWolg - i am trying to copy your setup! How did you run the wire under the dash speaker to the fuse box?

Thank you! Will give this a shot once new alternator is in.

Damn… thank you so much for this. This makes sense to me and explains a lot. Had to google what SLA and AGM were! Love this community. Truck is going to the shop tomorrow, likely to get the alternator replaced, then get my new (possibly toasted) battery tested. In the meantime im going to read...

Hi All, 2011 LX570. Short version is my battery is currently dead dead. I can jump it, but when i take the battery pack off, it dies shortly thereafter. I feel like all the symptoms are that of a failing alternator, but the symptoms of an alternator issue coincided with me trying to tap into a...

Fixed! Swapped line, bled and fluid topped. Parts, labor, and fluid for $700 from my local LandCruiser indy shop. Truck is riding great now and im super happy.
