    I love the mount. It is out of the way of the vents but the climate controls are roughly behind my phone when I’m using it. I barely use radio now it’s all from my phone with the bt45 in the dash

    Yes they’re from Australia. Took a while but it was worth it. Garden state undercoating does a great job. Had to wait two months for the appointment.

    Finally, got around to installing the switch pros switch panel on my cruiser garage switch panel bracket. Although, the conversion trim for the 2006 lx470 doesn’t seem to fit properly. May have to cut the piece to fit. Also installed Stedi ditch lights brackets on the coughlan designs ditch...

    Trying to track down some warning light issues with the ABS led my mechanic to finding a mouse lair behind my dash panel. Apparently it made a comfortable home in there for a while with evidence of droppings. It chewed through my ABS wire and it had to be replaced. I’m just glad it wasn’t...

    I’ve added a bug deflector and well visors. I’m still not sure how I feel about them but the look is growing on me.

    Today I was able to finally put my painted ASFIR OFFROAD skid plates in. Loving the look and feel much better knowing I’m protected. Just hope I don’t have to take them off anytime soon. Here’s how it looks.

    I believe it added more value then what I paid to be honest. Someone will be 10k more for a clean frame compared to how it was before. They do not replace parts as far as I know. They don’t do restoration. They focus on the entire undercoating service. That being said I’m sure they will help in...

    I paid 1800 for the job. I know it’s quite a lot but it’s also a relief tht it was done. This included grinding away the previous rubberized undercoat and rust, degreasing, prime, paint, fluid film and prime and paint of the skid plates separately. It’s hard to find people who do this by me. So...

    Finally got around to some preventative rust treatment. I found a great shop called Garden State Undercoating in Saddlebrook New Jersey. They grinded, degreased, primed, painted and fluid filmed the whole under side. The pictures speak for themselves. Here’s some before and afters.

    yes it did fit find. Actually experienced some rub once the bumper was added. Trail tailor body lift helped that.

    Today I was able to focus on a particular part of the frame that was driving me nuts. Knowing this rotting part of the frame was there I couldn’t rest until i found someone to fix it (since I know nothing about welding myself). Luckily, I found someone within a reasonable driving distance. I...

    BT45 in an LX470

    I used the trail tailor media mount install as a basis for opening up the console. Then I stuffed the bt45 in the tape deck since I removed it for the mount. It’s a good 1-2 punch upgrade and I love the media mount. So useful. Bt45 is also great. Huge improvement on the previous system. It’s all...

    Replaced the Rear drive shaft today after I busted it over the weekend. I paid the mechanic who did it in 15 minutes $50. Wish I had a lift! Had trouble getting leverage on the nut to break it loose.

    Busted drive shaft - alternative to OE

    Hi everyone, So, I broke my drive shaft on some really rough trails. Seems like I Was putting the weight on the rear drive shaft and giving it power. The thing just snapped. I was wondering if there were Any upgrades out there without having to order a custom driveshaft? Do you feel OEM may be...

    The Owl Expedition Media mount and BT45 TOY install was scary at first, but I got through it! So l, followed the instructions for the Media Mount install provided by @owl_expedition. I ran into a few noobie issues removing the trim and screws. The right center console vent cracked more than it...

    BT45 in an LX470

    Is there a detailed guide on how and where to install this? I have seen people pair them with the owl expedition media mount and put it in the tape deck.
