So I titled my post as Rig Of The Month but for me it's actually rig of my lifetime. This is not only because of all of the mods, but mainly because of all the memories, all the unforgettable moments with my wife and kids which will never happen again. You know, kids grow up... I can build another vehicle anytime but I will not repeat all the great moments spent with my toddlers. So remember, if you plan to spend time with your loved ones next year or next month, better do it next week. Let's go on to the tech part...
THE BASE
The base is a 96 LX450. Pretty rusty and neglected as I change parts whenever they fall on the road behind me. Before that happens, it's still not time to replace. But on the other hand, we talk to our truck and try to give it positive energy so in spite of spending very little money on maintenance, the truck drives well and we have developed some kind of mutual trust. Stock engine, stainless steel exhaust (I welded it), Dobinsons Australian suspension (was cheaper than OME), 33 inch tires. Stainless steel front bumper and carbon steel rear bumper (pretty rusty but I like the rat-style look). I've had my LX for over 11 years without major problems. Actually no problems at all and have spent no more than $2k on maintenance per decade. No other vehicle comes close to that.
