Looks great! We are almost twins at this point
We need to get some side by side shots one day. Of course seeing mine next to yours will probably highlight just how bad my pinstriping is.

Builds - Travis’s PNW LX570
Good work on the LS430. I've got an '02 with 95k miles that I hope can bring five figures by the time I'm ready to sell it. I missed in your thread what you did with your dark gray Tundra alloys? EDIT: Found it! Builds - Travis’s PNW LX570 -...

Started life as a Yakima Backswing but it's no where near recognizable as it's been completely cut up, reworked, and rewelded.
Checkout this thread that has more detail along with others that have shared some great ideas.
Swingaway Hitch Carrier v2
Second go at this, to build a swing away hitch carrier for overland camping. This time higher, tighter, and more tailored fit. Primary objective is to carry water and small loose items. What others may use drawers to carry. I can't commit to drawers as I use my 3rd row and need the utility...

I heard that Top Gear Australia did a review on the 08 LX570 against some other SUV s. Was wondering if anyone has a link to the video. Been searching all over but couldn’t find. TIA
My LX and XR400 in El Mirage for some camping and riding.

Great photo! Looks like the LX has no issue with the bike hanging off the back.
What wheels are those? How about your window visors?
Thanks! Wheels are 18x9.5 +55 Volk TE37s and the visors are OEM Toyota LC200.
They’re lightweight forged wheels. I think they weigh around 18-20 lbs each. Unsure of load cap.
They’re some of my favorite wheels, but unfortunately 18s were discontinued. They only make 20s in the updated version. Happen to come across this set of used 18s.
Edit: According to this post on Club Lexus, they weigh 19.4 lbs each.

20 lbs?!!? Never seen anything like that that can support 2,500+ lbs. It cant be. That is like GOAT wheel if true.
Dont see specs online. Their website is umm.. how can i say this, i will never give them my money for it.
FWIW, they supply wheels for a lot of racing teams, rally teams, and even the Williams F1 team.

Here’s a pretty cool video of the construction process for both their forged wheels and cast wheels.

They look great, but I am dubious about the load rating for that wheel. I seem to recall a discussion somewhere on here a long time ago that the load rating was too low for a LC/LX but there is practically zero information about it. All the specs have nothing on max load.
Can you see any stamped rating on yours?
My '21's first time seeing snow! The roads were not plowed yet and the stock tires surprisingly did extremely well. Probably due to full time 4wd more than anything
I zoomed in on a picture from eBay and it has this rating: VIA T-965KG (maybe 955KG) and P-770KG. From a quick googling, it seems like the ratings depend on type of vehicle the wheel is fitted to (possibly 2 wheel per axle or 4 wheel per axle?). It is also rated with the JWL-T which means it met some light truck standard. In rays ads they also suggest that they test beyond the JWL standards.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure Rays is considered pretty cutting edge for wheel manufacturers and this wheel was made specifically for the LC/LX, so I can't imagine it not being fit for the job. Possibly you could argue that it wasn't built to go off road I suppose.
