Toyota, if you’re reading this. I hate you.3x lockers
Lexus LX600 Looks Even Cooler in Special Off-Road Trim for Japan
This more hard-core version has 18-inch wheels, different tires, and three locking differentials.www.caranddriver.com
Different wheels and tires and locking diffs isn’t going to fix the elephant the room which is that low hanging front grill which will prevent it from doing anything remotely fun off-road

It took the aftermarket many years on the 200 series LX variant..
That would be fine, it would take many years before I would want to buy one of these, but it would be nice to have more options than a 200 series or regular LX, both of which I'd have to add lockers to, when I'm ready to upgrade.

6:02 in the following video shows heat exchangers under the headlights, likely for the intercooler as is done in the X5/6 M5/6, touareg/cayenne/macaan, and a bunch of cars these days. These will pose a problem for any aftermarket bumpers.
It might or might not. Here's a pic of the gasoline TT V6 LC300 without front bumpers.

I would say that bumper drastically cuts down on airflow through the heat exchangers but I’m not sure where it comes from with the stock bumper.. the side grilles are blocked off too.
Given the 200 market, there was the LC/LX, and the LX modification parts (USA) came so late, I wonder for the 300 (LX only) - if we will have more after market parts sooner, since 300 LC owners will buy the LX only version stateside.
I think it'll be a niche market for a long time.
I suspect the Tundra aftermarket scene is going to grow significantly.
here is a in-depth interior video of the VIP vs F-sport
Agree with you 100% on tundra

I think the best hope will be Dissent or Slee getting a truck and building something.
CBI has shown it can’t deliver what they promise.
It is taking 2x the amount of time to get anything built.
I have clients that have been waiting on GX bumpers since May from them.

Live and in person, Houston Auto Show
Were you able to sit in ? Impressions ?
Also, was the sequoia open for sitting as well? I see in the YouTube vids it’s there as well. At least the Platinum with the TRD off road package
I read the sequoia was roped off and windows blacked out. I was not there

Yep, it was open and available to sit in, poke, and prod a bit. Sorry for the delay... Back now at a proper keyboard and not distracted by other people... Car shows are a tough environment to make a clear-headed assessment, especially on busy days. So, my goal was just check it out at a high level and figure out whether (and how soon?) I might go take a harder look at my Lexus dealer. I'll be in no rush, but I will check it out during the next service trip for our GX. Not saying I'm sold, but worth a harder look. The product guy I spoke with said they might have them on the lots here in "maybe 6-8 weeks."
This was the LX Ultra Luxury version 4 seater.... so it is very nice and super fancy.
Exterior: Similar physical size to the current LX and late model LCs - familiar yet different, updated. This particular one won't be an off-roader. 22" wheels look huge (compared to my 18's on the LC). Back hatch is very plain, flat, understated. Front grill is ... well... you've seen it.
Interior: Very well appointed, comfortable seats, very soft diamond-stitched leather - did I say it was very soft? Seemed like a slightly smaller steering wheel, controls and buttons all very recognizable, familiar and within reach. Start/stop is high instead of being hidden behind the wheel. Infotainment wasn't on, so hard to get a feel, but modern look and still many of the familiar knobs in places you expect them to be in a more symmetrical look. Front console has the cool-box. Cupholders... check.
Backseats were captains chairs (would like these combined with a 3rd row maybe?). This Ultra Lux has a large back center console with touchscreens for all sorts of storage, controls, one Qi and a few wired chargers, and video screens on the headrests. We didn't fiddle much there. 4-seater = no third row on this model. Plenty of space in the cargo area. Would like to see one in a base next time for "real life" use.
Overall, great looking vehicle and it stays on the wish list. Family all approved too.
oh - got this as a my "souvenir" in my email inbox. Pictures in here are accurate.
