    LX470 Glass Headlight Lens Replacement

    I bought entirely new glass lenses and housings from Bell Lexus in Scottsdale. Buy them when they are on sale.. Possibly a Labor Day Sale will occur soon. Buy the thick adhesive lens vinyl from WeatherTech.

    Lessons learnt about AHC system

    What ply tires are you running and what are the air pressures? "LT" tires with more "plys" are going to ride rougher then "P" passenger tires.

    It was just under $300 with the textured 3M Vinyl. They used knifeless cut tape to outline the shape, applied the adhesive vinyl, and then pulled up the tape to cut the shape. It's pretty slick. I've done countless vinyl applications before but ran out of time before a big adventure so I had...

    I originally was going to install the premade one by CRAWLORADO but, because I sit high in the vehicle, I wanted a bit more coverage. I had the hood custom wrapped by KUTTEK in San Leandro and they did a fantastic job. I had them go out the front to where I couldn't see the edge anymore and went...

    ARCHIVE Who’s here using skid plates?

    I like the ASFIR Aluminum Skid plates... They seem to be strong yet still light. I did take a file to all of the edges as they were very sharp when they came in from the factory. Took about a half hour per plate but they are nice and smooth on the edges and I don't worry about slicing myself...
