Is this going to be an all-Slee-everything build thread? Nope. Just my 2010 LX570, Ghost. Adding to it as budget and skills allow. Never been a mechanic, never will be, but enjoy working on this thing.
Originally purchased in 2020 in Houston. First real car I'd ever purchased (ie, cost more than a combo washer-dryer). Paid way too much for it, couldn't have cared less. Thought I took a big dub when I paid asking out the door and had them do an alignment. Whatever man.. money is just fun tickets.
Was clearly a toddler wagon, lots of goodies in the crevices, under carpet, in between seats, under the cup holder etc. Can confirm that someone was ripping packs of Pokemon cards in the thing and so help me God, given the number of wrapper pieces I found in the thing, they better have pulled a Felt Hat Pikachu.
First major upgrade was... buying a 100 from auction. Still miss it. I have a problem.
First order of business was yeeting the third row seats, building a homemade drawer system. Justa bunch of plywood, sized to fit some long storage boxes from Target.
Then tires and a roof rack..
Then moved to CO during the pandemic, like everyone else who wanted to live somewhere they liked.
And now that he's paid off, I'm approaching things a little differently. Aiming to make it a little more capable, and to start learning how to properly 4WD, not just slam mud holes. Will update with more recent and substantive work here, but have a dinner to get to.
