Thank you, this is exactly the info I was looking for.

Hey guys, I've searched this to death and I'm going in circles. Seems to be some conflicting info regarding specifically the 2001 LX470 Mark Levinson w/o NAV. I figured a generic double din would fit and work fine? Just may need to bypass the stock amp?? I just tried the GROM BT3 but it turns...

Good looking LC!

Selling set of 4 OEM 100 series 16" wheels with caps. Here is link to CL ad Wheels came on the LX470 I purchased. Spray painted black by previous owner. Not perfect but in good condition, no bends, dents or anything like that. Was going to refinish but ended up going with Tundra 18s. TIres are...

Finally got around to debadging the rear of my LX..... and dammit, looks like the Blue Vapor Metallic is just too far gone. This is after wet sanding with 2000, 3000 and compound and polish. The LX470 badge side is even worse, some chipped clear coat. Guess they're going back on lol

Thank you for all the info, looks like I have some reading to do! I may have some questions for you if you don't mind And for sure I will be getting my plans looked at. I hope it didn't come off as cocky when I said the plans I drew up are "simple to me". I just meant that the house looks...

Definitely going on the simpler side. The primary house i have drawn up is super simple (at least to me).... 2000 sqft 2 story rectangle with gable roof and wrap around porch. Good idea regarding the trade bartering. I work for a nearby city so unfortunately I don't get much face time with...

That is a great point. I've been considering building a shop w/ small apartment above as a "trial by fire" run. And that will at least get us living on the property with our basic needs met (i.e. shop 🙃) Obviously I'd like to start with just a garage/shop but my county won't allow a garage...

I would pass, especially if they can't/won't produce better underbody pics

Hey guys, figured there's plenty here to ask. I'm wondering who here has been an owner/builder or GC on a home? We bought some property last year and looking to build in the next few years, no rush just saving money right now. Currently I'm knocking out as much as I can in cash DIY (temp power...

I had this same issue... it drove me absolutely bonkers. Did all the usual suspects (3rd brake light, roof rack, sunroof drains, glass seal, pinch welds, etc) It ended up being the hatch seal leaking right where the glass meets the tailgate. The original gasket was so deflated and compression...

Love your build so far, moving super quick! I'd be curious to hear your impressions of the Coastal bumper once you've had it a while.

This week I randomly had an intermittent no crank no start. Was almost stranded but thankfully I found I was able to slowly turn the key back after START and it would engage the starter. After doing a bunch of reading on here it sounded like it could be starter contacts... It ended up being the...

Congrats. As another former XJ owner I approve of this upgrade. Don't forget those heater tees ASAP
