@chemguys , absolutely stunning ride. Those new TTS's have performance from another planet.

@Docboy , yes, seal grey! Hides dirt nicely as I do commute in mine.

I've put probably 30k miles on her in the last 5 years and drive the wheels off her. She takes a bit more maintenance than say my LX570, but that's expected. I enjoy the tinkering. She's not the easiest to work on, but the performance returned is absolutely worthwhile.

Here's when I had the engine out at 10 years of age to give her a nice thorough once over, stage 2.5 clutch, 1000cc injectors, pin fittings, and more...

Looks great. IDK if you are doing anyhting to the suspension but you might liek the OEM Front spacer to level the truck out - minimal costs minimal lift and no affect on drive

Porsches and Land Cruisers pair nicely.
 
Thanks.
I have 2 option in my possession: I bought the oem spacer so could lift the front to level or I also bought the King lowering springs so could install rear only and bring the rear down to match front. Haven’t decided yet but will see how it looks once other parts are on the car.

My only concern is that this will be a backup tow car to my Tundra for the race car, so concerned with rear squat. May hook it up to see how it looks and go from there. Trailer is under 1500lbs and car is 2400lbs.
 
^Haha. I like it. I like every single one of the vehicles in your stable!

Full length shot of your GS please.
 
Tires are 285/45/22. May step to 305 now that I know I have tons of room. Did this as an experiment to test out a conservative fitment.

Here are a few shots of the GSF. ISF made a great daily for years, reliable and quick enough with basic bolt-ons. This is a step up in terms of luxury and tech.

I know, I know...I’m opening up a can of worms since this will not be a popular mod on this forum...lol

Picked up a 2019 LC a couple weeks ago for the wife, replacing her Panamera GTS. We needed something larger and more practical for the kids, trips, bikes, etc. And while I have my German cars for weekend toys (996tt and e30m3), I love Toyota/Lexus for daily due to reliability. I had an ISF for years and recently upgraded to GSF, so we looked at LX570 and Land Cruiser for the wife. She didn’t like the softer ride of the LX so we ordered the LC a couple months back along with some mods to go with it.

Car arrived 2 weeks ago, 22x10” Anrky wheels came in a few days later. I usually run HRE on my cars but this is a new brand I’m trying out that is manufactured by HRE so same overall quality.

Be gentle guys. Remember that this will never ever see off-roading other than our lawn in front of the house. Wife loves the car so far, tons of room, solid construction. Drives smaller than it really is so it actually fits her.
