Over 6.5 years of ownership, still turn around to check out the LX when walking away. Wouldn't trade it for anything, except maybe another 200 series!
On the way up to twin lakes trailhead near Mt Baker,WA
Exploring Olympic National Park and the surrounding area for the last couple of days. This is at the top of Hurricane Ridge Road.
Awesome area!
Cape Lookout Camping
Picked up this 2013 with 84k miles from my brother in December, hadn't taken it on a real off road camping trip yet. So I installed some Slee formed step sliders and went up "the hard way" from the Owens Valley CA to Coyote Flats for 4th of July with some friends. Started in Big Pine and headed east on Sugar Loaf Road, camping at Coyote Lake, more trail exploration and then back down to Bishop via Coyote Valley "Road." The rig is fully stock except for 285/60-18 BFGs and the sliders.
Got high-centered on the driver's side slider a few times so we had to stack some rocks on approach & departure and try again. Just the right amount of struggling with a mostly stock vehicle. I was impressed with the capability of the URJ200 after coming out of an FZJ80 for the past 12 years.
Sorry for vertical photos.
These next 3 are 10-second exposures taken at 10pm and 10,500 ft:
The Looney Bean in Bishop... great place for coffee after getting back into civilization:
Sliders did their job commendably. Next up is probably Bilsteins and a couple inches of lift.

Picked up my first LC in April at 152k miles but was in absolutely pristine condition. Flew up to Washington for it, and drove it back down to California. So far the only mods I've done are adding a Hamilton carplay unit, installing an ironman rear drawer / sleeping platform system, and a prinsu roof rack. Tires and wheels came with it and were basically brand new, and it came with Bilstein 6112 front suspension and stock rears. This last weekend, I hit 160k in it on my way up to Bowman Lake & Meadow Lake for her first time off roading with me, and my first time car camping with my friend.
Future upgrades are:
- New suspension for front and rear, thinking Dobinson MRR or Kings.
- New tires and wheels when the tires need replacing, thinking of going to 17".
- White Knuckle rock sliders
- RTT
Took advantage of the chance to go run Broken Arrow during a family reunion in Flagstaff. This was two of the nephews' first time offroading, and they loved it!
Photos never do the steps justice lol
How was the route up the mountain? I tried going there last August but I high centered my Forester.
So true! I love clear glass LCs! BUT, I have been installing the clear, heat-blocking, UV-blocking film on all my cars because I live in SC and I hate getting into a hot car on a hot, humid day. It keeps the heat down considerably and prevents the UV from aging and drying out the interior, especially the leather. I love the clear, heat-blocking film.
The ceramic stuff has come such a long way. Both Xpel and STEK offer amazing products.
