First Upgrades on LX450

[Lx450inNC]

I've had a 96 LX450 for a few years and finally took the plunge to upgrade. Added an OME stock height kit and 285 Cooper AT3 XLT's.

I know it's not much for this crew, but it's SUCH a big difference to me that I wanted to share. Not to mention the fact that it drives like a new car compared to the 'boat feeling' I've had the last few years.

Excited to be out of the 'completely stock' gang!

Significant upgrade in capability while minimizing the sacrifice in road manners and the complexities associated with more aggressive mods. Nice!

It would look so much better with the white lettering in, just my opinion. The Cooper Discovery AT3's are great tires, that is not just my opinion.

I actually debated that quite a bit! Saw that most folks on here prefer white letters in, but it just looks better to my eye for some reason.

Great looking LX! Amazing what tires alone can do

I disagree. I like the white lettering out. Mine are in and I've been very tempted to change it. Very nice rig!

How do you like the OME on the street in like washboard conditions/s***ty roads

It's been life changing (almost not an exaggeration) for me. The roads are rough in some spots, for sure, and it's such a nice drive now.

Thats because you'er old, let me guess you'er between 55 and 65 right? In the 70's and 80's it was all about raised white letters.
Full disclosure, I'm old too.

I'm in my mid thirties. However, I will tell you that when I showed it to my dad he said, "Looks great! Reminds me of my '73 charger with those white letter wheels!" Haha.

 

[Dan Armino]

Maybe raised white letters are making a comeback! Looks like I'm the old one here. I almost didn't post the "You'er old" reply because I thought that maybe some people might not know I was joking, I'm glad that you got the joke.

I'm running the white letters too. I think they look right.

Nailed it. 55.

 

[Cruzerman]

Old person here. I don't care for raised white letters. There goes that theory.

 

[rolliges]

Younger than 55 and run with white outside as it should be.

 

[PDoyle]

What age is old?
