Builds Hammersaurus Lex - The LX470 gets tons (3 Viewers)

Is it useless due to field of vision or because of the tesla screen?

All of those but also the contrast ratio between the shadowed areas and the sunlit areas

If only there was a system that used an IR illuminator to defeat that contrast issue...hmm.

Well played

Extremely impressed with this build...huge amount of work. Does it tramline on the road? Those front tires have so much meat its gotta be tricky to keep it from following cracks in the road.

It doesn't, actually. They're noisy and unbalanced and heavy but they track fine

I got to page 11 and didnt feel like reading further. I didn't see mention of install dual nightvision. Disappointed.

Fair. Sorry

It's ok, get you one of these

You're missing the lower cladding on the front fenders.

Come on, man.

But actually this is really impressive and I'm glad you're nearing the end of the project. It's been fun following along. That thing is a beast. Please go park next to everyone else at HIH.

Been following this build and nukegoat on here with his awesome comments for awhile, and well, I'm impressed. nuke goat can build a beast. Way more than I'll ever need, and mad respect. I guess I'm still trying to figure what I want out of mine besides getting me to hiking trailheads. Oh, I don't have a night vision equipped LX. I know, lame.

Thanks for the nice words!

If anyone wants it, I'm selling that 'Tesla' headunit and just going back to the OEM one. No more front camera or built in GPS. I don't care either. It was cumbersome IMO

Owl Expedition Media Mount

Hey Mud! I’ve made a new product to help you bring your 2003+ (98-2002 hopefully to follow) navigation equipped LC or LX into the 21st century. I call it the Owl Expedition Media Mount. I know there are other companies working on replacements for the navigation unit, but I personally believe...

An option when you go back OEM, I love mine. Had an iPad with the RAM mount for a while, worked fine, nice n stable, little too big. My 6 inch Samsung S9 has been more than adequate, although I do not think I use the nav in the same way you do.

Cheers!

This doesn't work since I put a single din in the old tape deck slot

Curious where you got your LED button/strip lights?

Are those DRLs or signal lights?

Night Vision. Must be. Do you have Night Vision?
