Phil's '06 Build (1 Viewer)

[eklipsephil]

How's it going everyone?
I've been lurking for a bit and finally pulled the trigger on an '06 Nav w/o KDSS with a full service history sitting at 100k from Geprgia. The dash was cracked but had been mentioned in the service history so Lexus honored the repair and I've already had that done. I've got pretty ambitious plans for the vehicle as some buddies and I are planning a trip to Prudhoe Bay next year, and a trip to the bottom of the map (Ushuaia) in '21.

First couple changes were simple things. Vais to get my Bluetooth streaming and interior LEDs because the rear dome was out.
I'm collecting suspension components currently (JBA UCA, Radflo 2.5 w/remote resi, MT conversion) and hope to have that installed by the end of this month so I can hit Moab next month. A bit aggressive but we'll see how things shake out.

That's all I've got for now. Will update as things change.

Welcome! Some free cosmetic mods that help immediately- running board removal & trimming the black plastic off the rear mud flaps

Cheers,

Got the Radflos and JBA UCAs installed, windows tinted, and removed the running boards... Now just waiting on the tires and wheels to show up.

 

[eklipsephil]

Got the wheels and tires mounted. Gonna do a little trimming this weekend.

Spent Sunday morning installing some Rago products as well as some Baja Designs lights. Waiting for my RPMFab Sliders to come in so I can get those on.

Nice rig. How bad is hood glare with those lights?

Sorry just saw this. It's not too bad. I still need to tweak the way they're aimed though.

Got some RPMFab sliders welded on over the weekend while I was up in Virginia at a bachelor party. Some kid banged his dad's door on em while I was sitting in the parking lot yesterday. Poor guy.

Looking really good! Sliders are already paying off! I need to get mine tinted like yours.

 

[HomersCanyonero]

The sliders works so well in the city at the mall. You don’t worry about someone dinging your door.

It's still shocking to me how different these look with wheels a mild lift and taking the running boards off. Its like you buy another vehicle altogether. Looks great so far. I have an 06 also.

It lets the land cruiser out lol

I've done a terrible job at updating this. Changes since last time: Coastal Offroad rear bumper, Lil B's front, replaced LCAs, RCI skids, energy suspension bushings, wired fogs to work with factory switch. Currently wiring in a trigger controller and some LP6s.

New stoppers came this week so spent Friday night/Saturday getting the old ones off and the new ones on.

Also survived Hell's Gate a couple weekends back and forgot to update the post.
