Mudders -
Well I suppose at some point, for those of you who know me, this thread was inevitable. On Friday (11/13/20) I picked up a 2015 LX570, CPO and worked in a 2-year extension to the 2-year / 20,000 mile maintenance / warranty program. I have been hunting (and that is the right word) for a 200 Series for the last several years and had a few specifics - Under 75k miles, less than 5 years old, and had to be gray. I have been scouring the internet for both Land Cruisers and LX570s, so when this one popped up literally down the street...I had to jump. My friend at Lexus called me and told me it was traded in on a new 2020...I literally said, "it's mine I will be there in 30 minutes".
The specifics:
2015 LX570 just under 75,000 miles, Nebula Gray Pearl exterior and Parchment interior. Date of first use was March 2, 2015 and while it was just over 5-years old, everything else was perfect. Options are: 2Q, LL, ML, PA, RS, V2, and V4. The truck was in perfect shape:
Requisite Side Shot:
Interior Shots Showing Excellent Condition:
Carpet was spotless in all locations:
I always check the crevices - that tells the story of the vehicle:
Next to the 100 Series:
So, what is planned for the LX570? Well, this is going to be my daily as the 100 Series is going to be reserved for fun trips and teaching with 7P; as such, the "build" will be pretty mild...or at least that is what I have told my lovely bride.
As of today, I have ordered the following:
1. Trail Tailor Hidden Winch Mount
2. Warn 9.5XPS
3. Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead
4. BFG AT KO2 - 285/55/20
5. ARB Recovery Points
6. ARB Rear Drawers
I may add an OEM spacer to the front and back but, we will see. Next up will probably be Slee sliders but, we will see how it does with the new shoes. I will update this thread with installs, additions, and trips.
Cheers.
