470 is 5 bolt? Our 460 is 6 bolt.

Yes, just like 100.

GX460 is to Lexus what the Prado is for Toyota.
Here's the 285/75R16s next to my 2009 KDJ155 Prado.

I like them! Probably won't find a set of those in the US...

Trailed some new Rust Removal Gel.
As expected - Bout as useful as a one-legged man in an arse kicking competition.

Onto the real way. Grind and cut.

 

[scrapdaddy]

You're doing good work!

 

[fre55h]

Off to the Engineers to decide if I am keeping the Wagon or chop it into a ute.

Did you get a quote to fix the roof? What was the damage (if you don't mind sharing) ?

 

[fre55h]

[scrapdaddy]

I don't recall ever seeing that one before.

After a long conversation with my engineer, he is happy with the current progress.

Items I need to address are removing forward pertrustions from the bar and covering the wheels with bolt on wings.

He also wants me to run brush guards across the front and rear fenders to act as guards.

I also have been unformed Ill need to run SWAYBARS! so I am on the hunt for a custom or 60 series set. I like the Antirock brand. Thoughts and options?

I'm a little foggy on this one, could you explain.

Pretty sure those are fender flares. I assume his tires can’t protrude from the “body”.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Makes sense when you say that.
