Hey,
I`m back with photos from weird stuff in my LC after Saudi owner.
Many of them were removed without photo story.
Some of them were photographed.

No 1:
Small thing - enlarging (don`t know why) hole in rear door to make room for extra wiring to rear camera... Done with hammer and screwdriver probably...

No 2:
Forgot You key to rear spare cover? No worries, Ahmed to the rescue!!

No 3:
Chinese DVD for rear passenger row was broken, and screen was opening every time somebody slammed the door. My wife was bored of beating her head over and over that stuff, so I`ve decided to get rid of this junk and install temporary OEM dome light bought on Ebay ( unfortunately grey not sand colour, could not find proper colour). Under chinese DVD were some surprises left by Ahmed. Rivets and screws straight through roof inner cover.
Take a look! And don`t mention the wiring... unfportunately I don`t have photos of that :/

No 4 (linked with 5 and 6):
Ahmed removed front bumper for some purpose, probably because of some minor damage to it. When reinstalling the bumper, he forgot to connect one important plug on the middle of bumper - that`s right - FOG LIGHTS! So what he did was - he made an extra wiring loom straight from low beam to fog lights. So they were on all the time after I turned the knob for lights. Don`t mention the wiring - and the quality of it. He surely thought about safety - fuses were installed!!
I`ve removed the wiring and connected the plug. 1/2 day labor.

No 5:
When the bumper was removed something went wrong and some bumper sliders were broken.
Rivets to the rescue! OEM paint on them to the rescue too!! For now on bumper is unremovable... :/

No 6:
See these decals on front fender and passenger door? They were spray painted with clear coat - probably during some minor damage removal. Unfortunately for me - I wanted to remove all these burnt by sun decals - beacuse they looked like crap.
So it took me 1 and 1/2 day labor, 3 wheels of 3m eraser tool and a lot of lacquer thinner.
Then car went to be resprayed and now looks a lot better. :)

No 7:
And finally - roof party. Probably with friends or some wild animals.
Damage still not removed. Fortunately it`s behind my eyesight, so it`s not so annoying... :)

Regards
Filip

HAHAHAHA!! Funniest post of the week! You had me literally laughing out loud reading. :)

Was his name really Achmed? Your commentary is hilarious. hahahah

Thanks for posting! Crazy stuff... Too funny!
 
Re: Autobruder 4WD 200 Series on Instagram: Wow, not only did they delete all the chrome on the grille, but looks like they pulled the headlamp housings apart to paint the chrome reflectors as well! I'd think the risk of ruining the weather/dust seals would be too great. First dusty AZ trail and those lovely LED headlamps would be ruined. Gorgeous truck tough.

I messaged them on Instragram for more info, but we'll see if they respond. It certainly looks fantastic.
 
Wanted to do a first post of the 2013 LC I bought 3 weeks ago. 88K spent time in OK and CO, driving back and forth and back and forth.

After shot: Found some 18" Tundra TRD Pro wheels with stock rubber for now. Already feels much better!
 
Don't forget to ditch the chrome when you toss the dubs................

Cant give the 22's away on Craigs... :0
 
Great pics. We did something similar a few years ago in the summer and the LC handled it well. I'll be looking out for you around town.

It's an awesome feeling when your family is all in and enjoying it as much as you do.

Absolutely, come have some beers with us this week, check this out
 
Nice trip! My wife and I did a very similar route to the same cities (besides Columbus) last year, albeit a one way trip from the East Coast to Cali in my 2006 LX470. Would've been even better if I did it in the 200 we have now.

Great pics and good looking family!

Thanks brother, Columbus was just a stop over.

Wasn't really looking for second LX but couldn't pass this one up. Pick it up tomorrow. Good thing I was hoarding that extra set of rock warriors :)

Jealous! Year and mileage?
 
Jealous! Year and mileage?

Have been looking for a clean higher mileage 200 to replace my trusty 100 we use for camping and toting the dogs once in a while. Not a daily so didnt want to break the bank for lower mileage one as it will sit a lot. Did not prefer another LX but this 08 with lots of miles, 194k popped up but was one owner and serviced at Lexus from day one till the last service including water pump and 27 pages of history from Lexus. There is literally not a door ding that I could find and interior looks like new. Only flaw was the paint on one parking sensor has chipped off, nothing an aftermarket bumper wont cure.:)

Still a little sad about replacing the 100 as it has a lot of memories and has served us well but hopefully someone else can start their own story with it.
