Hello all. Last week we purchased a 2014 LX570 with 66k miles for $34k from a dealer in Atlanta. This thing is in fantastic condition and has a pretty solid service history. Other than what I hope is just surface rust on the bottom from being a New York truck, it’s in excellent condition.
This week I changed the oil/filter, the engine air filter, cabin filter, and wiper blades so I can start my own maintenance tracker. Soon I plan on changing the AHC fluid, diff oils, trans oil flush, brake fluid, and greasing anything that gets greased.
The 20” Michelin tires on the truck now look good enough for the next few months, but I’ll be researching which tires to buy when the time comes later in the summer. We have Pirelli Scorpion All Terrains on our Outback 3.6R and I’m super happy with those. Right now I’m thinking about putting a set on the LX as well... does anyone have any experience with these on an LC or LX? I plan on keeping the stock 20” wheels because I think they look great despite their downsides. Our only complaint with the LX thus far is the lack of storage pockets and cubbies around the driver and passenger seats. I’ve been researching some solutions but I haven’t found much, so I’ll keep looking into that.
We’ve added Weather Tech floor mats up front, in the middle, and in the cargo area. Also, a WT sunshade. We’ll probably tint the windows soon because of this ridiculous South Alabama heat.
I’d love to add a little more growl to the exhaust so I’d love to hear some of your recommendations on a more aggressive sounding muffler that I could swap in. Also, I’m not a big fan of chrome so I’d love to vinyl wrap all the exterior chrome in the near future. Does anyone know of a good reputable shop in the Southeastern US that does vinyl wrapping?
Anyway, I look forward to conversing with all of you about LCs and LXs, and I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions as I start adding on the miles.
