Christo,

Great looking LX. That is the way it should come from the factory. Looks great. I would like to here more about the modified suspension when you return from your trip.

The dates for the event will be June 20th to June 26th. The trip
will take place in British Columbia's interior (Western Canadian Rockies)
and the bulk of the time our group will be roughing it from their
self-contained vehicles. This won't be a hard-core rock-crawling event, but
instead it will cover all kinds of spectacular terrain, and challenge the
vehicles in a variety of ways.
 
Great job with the LX! It gives alot of us a glimpse of our future hopefully!

As described in the email from ARB, the 100/LX appears to be the perfect vehicle for the adventure. Please take plenty of pictures and a maybe a sat phone so you can report back and send back pictures in real time.

Thanks,

Or you can keep your panties on and read the real story in Toyota Trails....

Looks great Christo.

Pimp, of everything for you to focus on, you picked the white snorkel? :slap: :flipoff2: Probably used that rustoleum plastic paint they just came out with.

I'm just wondering what the folks on the trip will think when they see Christo use the onboard shower. :flipoff2:

Christo - sounds like you get back from that trip early enough to head out east :D
 
That is one great looking truck!
