Sry @cruiserpatch but I'm kinda stealing your build thread layout cause its kinda what mine would have looked like anyway.

BUILD OVERVIEW

Original Purchase/Mods/QOL Upgrades

2000 LX470 - 323K miles when purchased in 2025
5x 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country A/T III OEM Lexus rims. Had to replace the small 245/75/16s and the OEM spare that was still on there. Those are 1" shorter than the stockers.
LIHAN USB C Bluetooth Adapter for Car Needed something cheap and dirty for now till I have to money to swap the HU properly.
WeatherTech Floor Mats Front and 2nd row only.

Remove the running boards.

Maintenance/Repairs (since June. 2025)
Baselined and if not listed it was fine or already replaced by the PO
New TB/WP/Pulleys/Tensioner at 323K (unsure when the previous owner did it last)
New tensioner pulley.
New serp belt and idler pulley.
New fan clutch and fan bracket.
Heater tees done June 2025 (The ones on patch's site)
New hoses all around.
All new fluids. Oil/Coolant/Trans/Diffs/Brakes
Grease knuckles/zerks
Go though TS and check/fix if needed the AHC pressures.
Use TS to turn off all the stuff I don't want/need on in the car like auto wheel tilt/auto mirror when reversing.


Mods I have planed
Sliders (Not sure which ones or might just make them myself)
Victory 4x4 Skids
Front/Rear bumpers (Not sure which ones or might just make them myself)
Suspension (Plan to keep the AHC)
Bigger more aggressive tires.
Roof rack
Drawer system w/sleeping platform?

I plan to put her through hell.
Going to drive all over the USA for that month.
Plan is to start in MI and go camping w/ my bud and his brother for the entire week of the 4th.
Ft Collins to surprise my brother.
Pikes Peak.
Vegas/Hoover Dam. (Been to Vegas a BUNCH but dad/stepmom never would go to the dam, they'd rather go shopping/gambling)
Grand Canyon.
New Orleans - Café du Monde IYKYK
All the way down to Key West.
Up along the Atlantic to Daytona.
Then back to MI.
These are just the main places. I will of course be stopping at places along the way.
