2004 LX470 - intro/build thread

[BEETROOT]

Factory nav doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's shot or if I just need to reset it with the backup battery drain reset trick. Factory Mark Levinson amp is blown too.

Really don't care about either so I pulled the DVD drive and amp out and will use this spot for a new amp. Going to use a marine bluetooth amp for a headless system running from my phone. Maybe this JVC pictured below but haven't shopped around yet. Kicker just to test out the space.

I want to flatten out the rear footwell. Thinking about building a little platform. I'll have enough room for an inverter and a low profile powered subwoofer under it.

Found a little $$ under the seat so that helps to offset the cost of the Dissent stuff.

Figured it will be a while until the Dissent stuff gets here so I put the Arksen basket on today. Seems decently well made, I like it. Will probably move it over to the camper eventually.

Are these 706? With +35 offset ? 17”?

I did my best to detail it inside and out then new wheels and tires.

Method 706 checked all the boxes for me. I like the bronze, they have an extended center cap to clear the hubs, and the bead grip concept can't hurt. A while back I worked with a racing team that was sponsored by Method and in many thousands of miles of class 1 racing we never had a single wheel issue that I can remember. So I figure they make decent stuff.

The tires are 33" BFG KO2.

17 “ or 18” are these +35 offset?

The Mark Levinson system isn't working. Seems like I just get sound from a couple tweeters up front. I assume the amp is blown. Eventually I'll figure out how to replace that but for now this JBL boombox is my stereo. Actually does a pretty good job.

Disconnect the subwoofer on left back side. Sometimes when that is blown it makes the side speakers not work
