? that's how the LX470 is and I've never seen anyone have an issue.
What “things” did the 470 not have? I had both a 470 and a 570 and I can tell you that the reason the 200 series had the guards is because all that hydraulic gear was hanging down much lower then the 100 series. Everything was tucked up nice and tight on the 470. It didn‘t need unsightly guards.470 doesn't have a lot of things. 570 has nice skids/guards (see below), I doubt Lexus added them because nobody had issues. Probably a weight concern, but it seems like a step backwards. In time, I'm sure @sleeoffroad will have skids built for the 600....Right Christo?
Also rear seat has no room. Other than the drivers dash and console, I wasn't in love with the new LX.

Yes, they really seem to be cutting corners when it comes to underbody.Did my oil change on my 600 this weekend, the cheap “underbody protection” was what disappointed me most.

Anyone who drops 100K+ on a car can nit pick all they want. Americans, in general, value price over quality (present company excluded), that's why we can't have nice stuff. Nice stuff costs more.Lol this is why we can't have cool vehicles in the USA, we complain too much.
Wasn’t complaining, just disappointed.Lol this is why we can't have cool vehicles in the USA, we complain too much.
In my opinion it is more about Lexus cutting weight (and saving money). 95% of owners will never know what type of protection it has.Anyone who drops 100K+ on a car can nit pick all they want.

...off to harbor freight to buy more tools.
Amen.Lol this is why we can't have cool vehicles in the USA, we complain too much.
500# weight reduction comes from somewhere.
Can anyone name more than one case of the AHC globes or lines being damaged offroad?Yep, it truly is sad that this vehicle's mission is maximum fuel economy like everything else. My 200 sucks down gas but I DON'T CARE. I also wasn't happy when I found out 300 lost so much weight.
To the member about the AHC protection on 200 series vs 100, it doesn't affect the ground clearance and it's legit protection. It's not unsightly, lol it's rock solid looking armor that is heavy (because 200 wasn't designed around efficiency unlike 300). It was the first thing I noticed the first time I looked under my LX, the AHC protection.
Maybe someone has an underbody shot of 200 vs 300.
All this said, they're asking $170k for LX600s at my local deale
