Seconded. Jay's shop is awesome and has done a bunch of great work on my 100.

Spotted a beautiful built river rock green (I think) LX470 at the intersection of 55 and 54 on Friday. Gave a wave as I turned.

I've had good luck with the above ADGU setup and megamat duo. Have slept in the truck with wife and with a bro. Wife has slept in there with 2 small kids as well. We all have different standards for personal space, but it's definitely doable. Agree that headroom is a challenge but can be...

No direct experience with this specific service but Jay at Renaissance Auto in Cary has worked on my and several other 100s and is very familiar with the platform. I'm sure he could handle it.

If that's not a sign trying to guide you back to the path of righteousness, I don't know what is ;)

Flushed the transmission. First work I’ve done on her (had it just a couple weeks).

Best color! Had an 02 4Runner that color before I got my first 100. Seemingly it's a natural progression :) Congrats on raising a kid independent enough to purchase his own cars, btw.

Good point! I had the same thought. This was at Johnson Lexus in Durham.

Took my new to me 15 LX570 to the dealer for what I thought was a coolant flush and brake fluid flush (all other maintenance was up to date as far as I could tell). Service advisor showed me where the truck had just had coolant flush, brake fluid flush, alignment, balance, diff actuator...

Finally bit the bullet and joining the 200 series family as my wife has declared my aging mildly built 2001 LX unfit for long haul family duties. It will remain in the stable for all tough and/or dirty jobs. Found an extremely clean, meticulously maintained 2015 LX with 105k on the clock for...

Got a headlight flash form a beautiful white over gray FJ55 in front of Mark Jacobson. I was in my LX470 and waved but was too slow to get on the lights before you turned.

I've admired that one at the Hub many many times. That parking lot in general is a cruiser rich environment.

No experience with these lights, but as a guy local to the shop, they are held in high regard by the NC Cruiser contingent as far as being good guys/gals, doing good work, etc. They do a pretty full spectrum of work from basic maintenance to all the usual mods and I hear good things. The lights...

Saw this beauty at Wegmans in CH. another 80 was usually parked there. Did someone upgrade?

Anyone have a good shop around RDU they can recommend? Nothing major, just replacing vs repairing cracked front bumper cover and fog light bezzel on my WRX where someone clipped me as I sat at an intersection. I've used Caliber in Durham in the past and was underwhelmed. Thanks!
