My mall crawler =)

I installed the sport version lip kit and while i had the bumper out, I wired up the rear fog too.
I know it doesn't see mud and dirt... but it's really comfortable ;)

Beautiful.

Welcome to the site.
 
Don't think I've seen the lip kit before. Congrats!
 
I like the way the new LX's look, we all buy 200's for different reasons. I for one definitely think that the LX look pretty cool, looks nice and sporty with the lip kit
 
That's a unique factory look. Daddy likes.

I'd add some dished black after market 20" wheels with some toyo at2 tires to make it a Range Rover mall crawl fighter.
 
How did you enable the rear fog lights? What kit did you use? I drive in a lot of fog/mist and have never understood why Toyota's don't have rear fogs. All of my European cars have them and I find them very useful. It would also be useful if they could be enabled separately separately from the the driving lights / headlamps by side for street parking. My S550 has that and it makes me much more relaxed about parking on street at night.

Most useless and misused feature imo in USA. People don't know what they are so they drive with them on and our streets are no where near as tight as those quaint little euro villages.

Don't you have fancy cameras to help you anyways?

Love your sarcasm. Glad to know we have an expert on the forum. I also live in Iceland so I do know how to use both fog and parking lights.

Not sure how the cameras would supposedly help alert other drivers when my wide LX is parked on a narrow street full of cars but I'll have to give that some serious thought.

Don't get your panties bunched up. I'm talking about the large majority that misuse it as I had clearly written.


Thanks for oversharing re Iceland. I'm making a trip out there soon.
 
It's common knowledge for teens to hang out in mall parking lots in the evenings so they can admire each others' vehicle enhancements.

We can only pray they use proper fog light procedures.

Congratulations on your upcoming trip. You too will become a master of the rear fog light with the wind blowing 50 kph, sideways falling rain, and heavy fog.
 
sweet. iceland and this vid cemented by decision to get the land cruiser instead of the true mall crawler that is the new aluminum bodied lifted sedan range rover

 
I'd love to have my LX in Iceland but the current price of gas and diesel is around USD$2.50/liter ($10/gal). That pretty much seals the deal. I'll keep my 50 mpg Volvo XC70 D5 to drive there.

Iceland is an interesting country. Conspicuous displays of wealth are not only frowned on, they are socially unacceptable. For instance, you very rarely see an expensive European car even in Reykjavik. Sports cars are pretty much non existent. Almost every single family house is the same size. However, where you do see wealth displayed subtly is the mpg of the car you drive. wealthy? You may drive a gasoline powered Lexus GX, LX, Land Cruiser, Patrol, full size van, or Suburban, often converted by ArcticTruck. People know that only a rich person can drive a car getting 5-10 mpg with that kind of gas price.

Kind of funny watching someone in a fancy suit, their wife in a nice dress and heels, climbing out of a jacked up, big tired Lexus GX based Arctic truck.
 
I honestly couldn't care less about displays of wealth and how people choose to exercise their peacocking desires. I see enough of that around here where I live. Iceland culture is def more up my alley.

I do care a great deal about exploring the wilderness well beyond city scape and this is why I bought the Land Cruiser since I love, love, love to drive cars I love, love, love.

I would love to drive that 80 series in the vid to experience how it does on road and off on 38x15x15s LOL. It looks beastly and Iceland looks even crazier!
