Builds The Big Bad Rad Dad LX (Dissent) Build (1 Viewer)

Damn, that's unacceptable in regards to the folded fins on the radiator. So I am assuming that the swing outs are going back on now?

Depends on if I decide to go to LCDC this year. A spot opened up for me, but for some reason Fort Collins doesn’t seem too appealing.

It only takes 5-10 mins per swingarm to remove/ put back, so I swap around more than I thought I ever would.

After 3 years of patiently searching for a 5th spare, I came across 2 for $350 each. For some reason, Toyota decided to stamp the same part number on 3 different variations of wheels - Satin black, flat black, and trd vs pro stamp on the wheels. On top of that, wheels range anywhere from 350-$800 per wheel
Glad to have the set, but now I have to find 4 more to replace the 21s on the ‘18!

no cool box or entertainment on the ‘18, but the wife was more interested in white with black interior. Was pleasantly surprised when I realized this particular package had HUD, 2nd row cooled (vented?) seats, and sport+ with actual transmission driving mode.
Plan to keep P rated tires on the bbs 18-inch wheels.

Same setup as our 2019, great options.

I am waiting to see what the baby of two lx570s looks like!

So wife's becomes the balanced overlander, letting your rig become the wild child on 40s?

Well, I experienced my first limp mode today. Coincidentally, I had a bunch of service performed recently… new radiator, new valley leak fix, and an oil leak was fixed from the front engine cover.

However, all that work was done about 2 weeks ago and ~100 miles put on during that time over short distances.

Would you say it took that long to throw errors or unrelated?

 

[Tex68w]

Weird.

I'd be looking for a loose wire on the even side of the engine.

Yeah, seems like a loose ground wire maybe.

lights were gone today when i started her up. I even left the pig idling in the driveway for 45 minutes, and no lights
