My new 2018 lx570 (1 Viewer)

[Rando Kuruza]

i actually bought this back in May and kept meaning to post, but never got around to it... so here she is

Things I did

-clear bra the whole front of the suv
-blacked out the mirrors and the roof
-did 20% tint all around
-got 20” Lexus rims wrapped them in 275/60r20 Bfg

And that’s all.... she is my wife’s car so that’s good enough

I have pictures on low medium and high and have not rubbed at all on road and light to moderate off-road.

If you want 20’s on your land cruiser maybe an option and I have verified that toyota caps from 16-19 land cruiser rims fit these wheels

Wow! Very nice. How did you blackout the roof?

 

[Rando Kuruza]

I just had the roof and the mirrors wrapped in a glossy black vinyl. Same guys who did the clear bra did it for me

Nice pics. Curious to know about your 20% tints all around. I've been thinking of tinting my front windows, as I don't like people looking at me during a complete stop What type of tints do you have? Do you find that with 20% tints is your vision at night and ability to see people and moving cars impaired at all?

I’ve never been pumped about the front of the newer LXs, but somehow those tires make the whole package, front included, look awesome. Nice job.

I have suntek tint... not bad at all at night... we had 50% tint on the front and limo on the back... it felt way to dark!!! But 20% all around is perfect. The LX has the sunshades in the back so it doesn’t bug the kids with the lighter tint

Had a 13 land cruiser before loved it. Sold it because we were going to move out of country... decided against it moving out of country... Honestly we had a 18 land cruiser on hold and it took forever to come in. We wanted a white with black interior and it never came in and no black interior land cruisers on order or on any lots with in 500 miles. So we went into the Lexus dealer and said give us a deal we got this Lexus for 84,900 and free clear bra package which was a deal! And dealer gave us the new rims for cost. So it was a good deal! We decided we don’t wheel hard enough and the LX will do what we need it to do.

The things we love. Actually really like the AHC! I love that hooking up trailers we can hook it up on low and set it to medium as per the manual and it levels out the car. Wife loves the automatic lowering once the car turns off 2 1/2” lower, she says easy to get the kids out of the suv, also love the suspension, we live in the Utah mountains and going down the twisty roads in sport + is WAY better than the Land Cruiser we had. We love the heads up display and the sun shades in the rear doors. The interior is much much much nicer and uses real wood, the seats are nicer as well and the ride is considerably quieter. Over all the fit and finish does feel more premium but not by much just a little more.

Things that bug us... the location of the cup holders hit the front of the center stack, to access climate controls and seat warmers For rear passengers you have to get to the rear center armrest so people sitting in the back can’t get to it, to adjust it... although there is automatic climate controls and automatic seat warmer and cooled seats for the back the kids are always asking us to adjust it for them as they can’t do it. I don’t like people’s reaction to us driving this Lexus vs the Land cruiser. It was much more low key and I liked that, the land cruiser also has much better resale than the LX. We also hate the Lexus mouse toggle thing we much prefer the touch screen. The gas mileage on the LX is much worse even though it’s not suppose to be... but real world 3mpg less and my old land cruiser has 275/70r18’s. Ride is a little harsher because of the 20’s and I actually like the looks of the land cruiser better. Never was a fan of the front but it is growing on me.

All in all we really like it. I have an 05 lx470 that I will probably replace with a 200 one day... I’ll let the wife drive the 570
