Great thanks, I have Slee skids and looking to get a gas tank skid. Stamped aluminum seems like a good option, just was curious from someone that installed and used it, if they liked it.It’s fine

One Stone arm rests. IYKYK
Fantastic! What modifications needed to be made to fit, or was it plug and play?
Also, bummer they didn’t incorporate cup holders like the other series LC’s. Our 2016+ LX’s could really use help in the cup holder department.

Just stuck em on. Thought about trimming the corner but wasn’t sure what color the foam would be under the outer skin.
Had these in my LCHE and it is a game changer. IMO more in the LC than in the LX, because the LC has a more rounded edge in the windowsill line, while the LX has a more squared one. Hard to explain but the squared mold adjusts it more to my elbow bone than the rounded one. That said, even with the square advantage, adding to the LX still gives you more comfort because of the extra area to rest your elbow. Shame I can't add to my LX300OT, because they moved the memory seat buttons exactly to the location where the arm rests would sit.

No One Stones and no tailgate? Sell it immediately.
I am sure One Stone will come up with a new design. The tailgate though, I am afraid is lost -

So.
I heard something that makes me want to try an experiment. The 300 and 250 made it to final sheet metal preproduction models with a tailgate until it was axed over a lousy 19# (ridiculous I know).
I've been thinking about what it would take to modify the current hatch and convert it to a split gate using existing 200 and 300 series hardware. But I haven't been willing to drop ~$2000 on a new hatch just to try an experiment yet.

Another CAFE casualty?!?!
IF they had the split tailgate, that'd go a long way IMO for our niche and pendantic group's opinion of their clearly wayward decision making.
If anything, one less thing to complain about. LOL
Those Tundra takeoffs look more at home on the black LX than the Tundra.View attachment 4123207View attachment 4123208View attachment 4123209View attachment 4123210View attachment 4123211View attachment 4123212

Yea agree. And I think it’s gotta be 18” wheels too. There is a lot of sheet metal on these rigs and the proportions have to be right.
I think some of yall need to accept that all black everything is played out
100% agree.all black everything is played out
In fact I hate all black wheels..did it once in 2014 and never again.
Once your run of the mill Kia and minivans come with black wheels from the factory…it’s over. Lol
It's time to find some 18" wheels for my LX and I really like the Tundra 18's you're running. I assume you are running spacers? If so, which ones? I searched but couldn't find your tire size? Is it 295/70R18?

25mm spacers and 295/70-18

The market on my LC500 got so hot that I couldn't resist flipping it for cash. So picked up my LX's brother from another mother—sorta. Both are black, all wheel drive, ~112" wheel base and 197" long.
2015 S63 coupe, 31k miles, breaths fire and will happily cruise at a governed 186mph while giving you a massage.
But seriously, these things are basically the same size.

Yep and then there are folk who consider the 200 series to big and bloated. Everything is relative of course but it does not objectively makes any sense. Hope the experience owning a newer Benz is going to work out for you
