Remind me, are you rubbing on the sway bar with this setup?

I took some cursory photos while wifey went potty (thus in access mode). The caked mud is from the previous day. Not much liner kissing on Stoney pass…

There are very few LC300 variants that came with OEM winch configuration. It's indeed interesting to see this in an LX as Toyota never spec'd V35A-FTS engines with a winch as something dealers can request and quote.

Fantastic photos! I agree with your sentiment. I'd love to hear a post trip report on rubbing with the TRD wheels and the 35s. I've been eyeballing them but have been hesitate to pull the trigger on those or just get a set of +40mm wheels from...

Stoney Pass Interestingly, a 3/4 ton Ford was stuck up the trail off of a ledge so I jumped in the 200 to go and see if we could help with recovery. It’s difficult to explain, but the 200 is like driving a 4x4 and the 300 just glides through...

IIRC, in 3.0 the inclusion of the driver monitor and forward facing camera upgrades and additional front corner radar sensors allows for the 'semi-autonomous' driving. The east-west stretch of I-70 through KS and eastern CO is mind-numbingly...

28 foot bumper pull toy hauler with dry weight of 6000lbs. Probably 7800 as tested. Drive it for 20 min rural highway drive. Did better after I inflated the tires to 45, but I'm not sure Ill actually take anywhere with this rig. It definitely...

Interesting find……

I personally find the systems reliable and quite functional. Using adaptive cruise and lane keep assist (LKA) the truck nearly drove itself from Tulsa to Denver. All the safety systems can be easily disabled. Around town I only keep pre-collision...

Passenger front chin. Not really noticeable unless you look closely. Here's the before and after a deep clean detail.

Posting this from the Wheeler Geologic TH (via Starlink mounted to the 200). Can’t call me a poser again, lol.

yes, five 35” tires actually fit inside the LX with ARB drawers, but it was snugggg.

Yep. The vehicle wouldn't start the engine. Odd. Again, will be talking about the issue with Lexus.

Thanks! Just ordered a new radiator for the 100.

Serra Toyota just posted their sale. I've seen better from them but it's 15% off and free shipping with $75 or more. Probably won't see the next sale until Black Friday...

Welp I got over my bias for naturally aspirated humongous under stressed engines by buying my first turbo/hybrid engine lando. Only time will tell but I am happy giddy inside like a kid again and I guess thats what matters I think the times have...

Can't prove an unsubstantiated statement. Non-falsifiability is a basic logical error. Same things were said about fuel injection, turbos, electric vehicles, computers, and sheesh, even the printing press. Enjoy the past.

Carplay does that once in a while for me, but only in one exact spot on my work commute. Radio interference is the culprit as the GX550 did the same thing in the same location.

Welp guys.... the dealership salesman got me to buy something I didn't need, but I decided to buy it since it was such a cool car. Going through the paperwork now. Likely tomorrow I get it in my door step. Will do a review and pics over-view once...

I just received a vm from my dealer and my 2 row is being built and will be here in six weeks (ish)! Also working with Slee and Dissent on builds. Likely going with Dissent (I love the bumpers with them) but haven’t decided yet.

About as much as my wife will let me mod the LX right now. Titan-7 forged wheels T-AK2’s +35 reusing the factory Toyo AT III tires. Normally it’s on N height but jacked it to H2 for the pic.

Anyways… Off to dealer tomorrow, got a decent discount over the phone so going check the vehicle and drive it around before I buy it.

I occasionally get this on my 200 when going through the car wash.

The charcoal canister and pump are the same from what I’ve seen in my research. The important part is connecting the tanks together to form a common atmosphere. Check out my markups in the first post. Regarding range, there is a SMALL chance...
