Looked at the tire options for 21s - Nothing off-roady. Although I agree the 21s look better, you are limiting your tire options and you are paying several hundred dollars extra for a rim you will replace as soon as you decide to take it off road. If you are ordering you can buy the luxury...

After scouring the threads I have seen instances of using a CBI 200 LC front bumper on an LX, but not anyone using one on a 2016+ LX. I appreciate the engineering that went into the LX specific bumper on the J201, but I would still like further improvements in approach angles (as well as a more...

Nice rig! I put the ARB for a 200 TLC on my wife’s LX. No problems with fit but the template that comes with it to trim the stock bumper is different. Requires some trialing and sweat, but it can be done. Enjoy!

Was thinking about having mine lowered too - just after recommending to my wife that she have breast reduction surgery.... 🙈

When I was looking for our next suv a few months ago we toyed around with the idea of a cpo g wagon. I saw several that had an essentially clean carfax that were then bought back as lemons. About five years ago I had an f250 that went to the shop six times in nine months. Ford wouldn’t take it...

Related question - we drive our 80 twice a month. Considering a trickle charger/ battery tender. Can I hook that up without unhooking battery from the 80?

Correct - estimate involves seven hours of labor to pull and reattach headliner to replace harness. I talked to them further today. They have done this before on other vehicles and state even to reattach the fin but not rewire they still have to pull headliner- attachment point for fin that...

Will need to take pictures for insurance claim. Wife going in morning to Toyota dealership where we left it to do so. They haven’t started work yet - wanted to hear from you all first. Regardless of what we do I will make sure to post a pic. From memory it’s a 1cm x 2cm rectangle - I will ask...

Agree. And trust me, first thing I did was give her a hug, because I’ve done much worse. She can handle the vehicle, drives an HD no problem. Only thing that made me hesitate is that some folks had complained about diminished reception with aftermarket roof racks. At some point soon we are going...

So, feel free to laugh and comment at any point in this story.... Wife was pulling her new Land Cruiser out of the garage yesterday morning and our automated garage door which is not currently automated had slid down literally 1/2” lower than tolerance would permit. The shark fin popped off...

Thank you all for your responses. Went through dealer in TN, where I bought my 2016. They got us under 78k and gave us a fair price on the LX (I did my research and knew what was reasonable). Worked hard to get the APR we needed as well. We were sad to see the LX go but welcome the new addition.

Time to trade wife’s 2010 LX. No problems but it’s our main family vehicle and want something newer for long trips. Looked at a new LX but it’s a bit more than we can do right now. What are the best deals you all getting on new 2019s without military, etc discount? I thought there was a sticky...

We had the same problem on our 2010 LX 570. Happened after a car wash. Issues with windows not rolling down, etc. Lexus dealership pulled the panels and cleaned off the couple of areas where moisture caused the short. They couldn’t figure out why. Got the vehicle back. Looked and the drivers...

Ha! It looks like you guys are correct. Rest of the rant remains valid though... 😬

Agreed. The 2020 Sequoia TRD Pro will be available in Army Green, with a diff lock, Fox Shocks and Apple CarPlay, meanwhile we are stuck with the :censor: Heritage Edition which lacks the soul and heritage of any prior iteration of the venerable Land Cruiser from the past - as well as lacking a...
