Hey guys, recently did another "thing" 😁. Not new to cruisers but I am new to the 200 platform and am excited to be here! Just picked up this immaculate starfire pearl on black 14' LX570. One owner, zero accidents, full service history from beginning till now with lexus of bellevue here in washington, currently sitting at 116k with the 120k service just performed before purchase. Truck has a full ppf kit from the previous owner and is immaculate through and through, I cannot believe how perfect this leather still is. I have been shopping for approximately a year now and finally pull the trigger. Looked at many trucks but all were very rough around the edges for what they were asking. Not sure how far we will be taking this truck, probably not too far as my 80 is highly modified and is setup for adventure duty. It is a 97 lx450, fully built forged engine, turbo charged and manual swapped making just over 400 wheel/550 ftlbs.

Anyway.. here's a picture from delivery, with more to come! Cheers! 🍻

Congrats and welcome!

PS: no one here has done forged internals and turbos on their 200… just saying..
 
Congrats! White is the best color!

I followed your 80 build and your attention to detail is commendable sir!

Look forward to following the madness with this one!
 
Picked up some Bradley V's and the new yokohama geolandar AT-4's in standard load! They offer these tires in e code but these sl rated tires just came out. Wheels are 18x8.5 +50 in SBC color, tires are 275-70-18. What an absolute night and day difference in ride quality over the dumb 20s and michelin latitude hp's.. not to mention i dropped 8 lbs per corner with the new setup. 75 lbs was what the 20s weigh and the yokos are 43 and 24 for the wheels so 67lbs. It's nice to see more all terrains in this size and standard load. I also have some 5mm spacers i will be installing as well in conjunction with longer wheel studs, as the ones are way too short with the spacer. I will have an effective offset of 45mm at that point which is perfect for my needs.

Looks great. Congrats. Did yours not have the roof rack cross bars or am I just blind? Mine didn't have them either. You have a roof box installed so they have to be there?
