Just bought a lx570 with CNG conversion

I'm just thinking about this like a soap opera ... can't wait to hear what pops up next.

You guys are rough. Here are a couple pictures. I'll try to take a few more detail pictures tomorrow

That is a very......interesting setup. Did everything get worked out with your CNG woes?

Not yet, the local CNG company is putting together a quote for Audi in Oklahoma City where I bought it. So far they have been very cooperative.

Thanks for the pics . I am in SE Asia few months a year, and 75-80% of the cars are CNG converted, everything from S class to 7 series to Land Cruisers.

Even though they have diesel cruisers, they all prefer the CNG


With 200-300% tax on vehicles and extreme high petrol prices, CNG over there seems way to go


Enjoy the truck !

I have to agree about the amount of space it takes up. Im sure that's why I was able to work the deal on it that I did. I picked it up about 2k less than fair condition trade. The truck is absolutely spotless with immaculate service records.

So far I have found it usefull. Obviously the reduced cost of fuel is nice. Not to mention the extended range, and lower amount of carbon in the engine.

With all that said, I would like to eventually set it up for camping and light overlanding. When that time comes I'll probably pull it and just sell the tanks.
