After market modds… (1 Viewer)

[084runnerltd]

Anybody know of a company that is selling after market parts for the LX?

I would like to rip off the running boards and replace them with some real rock sliders. As well I would like more underbelly armor.

What I really want is a bumper, but I realize that could be a while…

I would even settle for all weather mats…

ARB might soon, I supplied them with a 3D scan of the LC300 and they now have that on the market, I about to send them and a few other companies the front 3D scan of the LX600 now.

There already the LC300 bumpers showing up in AUS and MENA but most are for the 4.0L engine and not the 3.5

Nice!!

Sounds like Slee will be making some parts but they had no eta.

CBI is getting a truck to scan as well.

Sliders will be same as LC300 since not intergraded like before.

I tried to get dissent to come scan in DFW but they couldn’t

Can anyone identify these rims? My LX should be here at the end of the month and I'd love to have the dealer swap rims and tires before delivery.

 

[Bomar]

Yes I had those wheels made for that truck for Lexus Corp.

That truck is also lifted and has a roof rack on the way for it.

Feel free to DM me and I can give you details.

We have some cool things in the works currently! Can’t share any details yet but will be able to soon! @Bomar
Let’s chat again! Already have some scans and models.

@benc got a pic from some guys that was took in CA it looks like your bumper on a F Sport if so looks great.

Thanks! Did you have any part with the wheels on this one by any chance? Out of curiosity, who were you talking with that had the photos?

 

[Bomar]

No I didn’t.

I don’t think that is the right fitment for the truck. But I look at stuff vastly differently in this industry. I use my trucks and I want something I am tied too to be useable.

That is the reason I chose to have a wheel made for proper fitment.

Got it. I am assuming the photos you saw still had stock wheels and we now have ones that were custom made for this project which is why I asked.
Either way should be able to publicly share photos of this build in the next week or 2!

No it had the aftermarket wheels that needed fender flares to fit properly and BFG KO2 (don’t run true to size)

Jaos $5k carbon flares (before freight)

But only way to make an off the shelf wheel fitment work with out going full forged custom offset. There again Lexus made fitment a one off again.

I am very happy you got a hold of truck early. I know we have a few clients are already looking for bumpers and sliders.

I hope your contact can get you GX550 as well.

Yeah. I think these are +30 from what I was told but didn’t measure. Probably a little aggressive with stock flairs. That being said we had stock 17” gx470 rollers on for a bit and the offset on those was pretty good for the factory flairs ant seamed to fit the brakes as well.

 

[Bomar]

Yes 9.5 30

They would stick out and the amount of trimming you would need if you put a tire of any size.

Interesting the 470 bolt holes where big enough and cleared brakes.

460 weren’t due to 12MM studs.

If that is the case slap a hub ring.

I don’t get why Enkei PDT1 have such a high offset 9 +54 Other issue on wheel side is with aggressive sidewalls tire width to UCA and sway bars.

 

[Bomar]

@benc it might be too late but scan those flares.

Unfortunately it is heading out early this morning. We hope to get our hands on it again though and will try then.

How are the lifted lx600's riding? I really enjoy my base model's ride, would hate to get it all stiff and undone just for looks.

 

[Bomar]

All the guys told me zero difference in ride.

We did a slightly modified Westcott Design lift so all OE components.

It is somewhere on East Coast Lexus corp has it now.

Hope to get it back soon to put a roof rack on it.

The one we had was ahc but I was pleasantly surprised! It has 2 high modes, high 1 and high 2. It could actually be locked into high one and stay there. Hopefully this wasn’t just a pre production feature! What rack are you putting on and how does it mount? We did put a rack on this one that clamps to the factory roof rail so no headliner removal. I’m curious if others are doing this or removing the rail?
