I just pulled the trigger and bought an LX450 after I bought my wife a new (to us) 2017 200 series. I absolutely fell in love with her car and needed my own!
I’m getting the truck baselined with the following from Duggy’s Garage in Houston—I’m based in Austin, but the truck wasn’t in highway shape, so figured I’d get the baseline done in Houston before I drive it up.
I’m doing the following:
Cooling system refresh
Diff service
New tires: Faulken Wildpeak AT4s
I’m also getting dents on the body and a few rust spots on the running boards replaced.
Anything I’m missing? Anything else I should know?
I’m holding off on suspension until I decide what I want to do.
