I hated and still dislike the color. It does look a lot better on the trails vs in the city.

I have a cheap hid kit in my 99. Yes it’s better then stock. Yes it still sucks.

Spent Saturday in Arkansas. 1st time trail riding in the LX. I must say she was a beast. The tan/beige/gold color does look a lot better in the wild.

Removed running boards and added some 285/75/16 Federal RT

Removed running boards and added some meat.

same problem..........anyone? did you ever fix yours?

So I replaced the alternator.........found a minor oil leak @both valve cover. Split cv boot on outer right axle. upper right ball joint boot split but no play. trans clean, transfer case clean , and rear diff clean. no leaks found with AHC although the fluid is right under the minimum so I...

I found a LX470 southern truck no rust 238k still has working AHC time for timing belt and water pump. $5900. I have been looking for about a month now for something to trail ride to easy trails. Family of 4. I would have 2-3 hrs to get to trails so lots of miles.
