Do we know @Anarchy ‘s day job is? I’m assuming engineer of some sort, but just curious. I’m impressed with this project and will likely be a buyer

Ai generated image. Does this look like the correct wheel size for my 2005 tundra? AI says yes, but want to confirm before dropping $1k! TIA. Anything better than icon for around the same price? Looking for 17’s that can accommodate 285/70/r17 tires and no spacers

Just chiming in to say… if you crack this for all of us who dislike the stock setup, you’ll be a hero

I used a heat gun to soften up that fender and bend it up out of the way- not beautiful work, but an improvement over it being bent down. New LBJ’s going in on Tuesday. Toyota parts. Think I’ve decided I like this thing analog(ish) so I’m not going to be adding a touch screen for now...

After driving several vehicles, I settled on an ‘05 tundra as a back up vehicle and keep the Land Cruiser as the daily for now. Drove some of the newer tundras… a little too big for me (2.5 gen) or I wasn’t confident in the depreciation curve (gen 3). Drove some tacomas… a little too small...

There are a couple things I am going to fix/maintain right away. Lower ball joints, fluids, maybe swap out the wheels. IDK what do y'all think? I don't think I'm a Fuel wheel type of guy. Might like to sell them and buy some 17in steelies and paint them black or something like that. It's going...

Eh I can't post up a frame video I have. I'll get some pictures soon. But back to the truck. After I purchased it, I was looking at the keys and I noticed there was a bodyshop advertisement on the key chain... Oh no... Did I buy something that was in some sort of crazy accident? Did I just...

I've spent a lot of mental energy trying to pick the "perfect" second vehicle to complement my '06 LX470. New Tacoma, gen 2 tundra, 4runner, another 100 series, maybe get a porsche 996? I don't know... I had a gen1 tundra I bought back in the day, and I respected it, but I didn't love it. It was...

will do- thank you!

Uhhh... that was awesome- thank you @medtro ! Why didn't I think to do that? Great info

I'm coming up on 230k miles on my 2006 LX 470, trying to plan my maintenance budget for 2026. I'm combing through the brake failure voting thread and was just wondering if anyone can give me the cliff notes on: 1. Is it an issue for my model year? 2. If so, do I just buy the master cylinder...

Thank you all for your input. I reached out to insurance to see about covering the windshield, but since there is no damage to the glass, just an improper install, no help. Which seems reasonable to me, but I thought- why not ask? Lexus of Austin will do the windshield and all the trim for ~...

Yikes! good to know- thanks for the input!

When I bought my '06 LX470, I didn't notice the crazy wind noise it was having at highway speeds. It was driving me crazy, so about a year into ownership I got it replaced. Aftermarket glass. Really cut down on wind noise, but I still have it. They said it had been screwed in and was a mess as...

I’m not too sure what I was concerned about with the paddle board. Stock rack did great. Now with a kayak… idk might be a different story
