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? :beer:

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?

Weird.
 
I'd be looking for a loose wire on the even side of the engine.
 
lights were gone today when i started her up. I even left the pig idling in the driveway for 45 minutes, and no lights 🤷‍♂️
 
As a fellow twin dad, recent black lx570 purchased and fellow Texan (San Antonio) ...your build has inspired me a ton.

I just put rock warriors and tint on my 14. I'll be starting a build thread soon. I've only had it 12 days lol
 
I once said I would never get a snorkel, but then somehow I ended up with a Fabulous Fab. Now I’m going to say this is my last mod ever (or maybe last piece of Dissent since I have everything else).

The panels are aluminum and hang from the rack, with industrial suction cups to stabilize the lower side to the quarter panel glass. Zombie tank mode has been achieved.

4 gallons of rotopax and 5 gallons of jerry can top me off at 57 gallons of total carrying capacity. Enough for a few trips to Costco before needing to refuel.

We run the same snorkel and it’s by far the least “LOOK AT MY SNORKEL” snorkel out there. It’s really only noticeable from the passenger side and only from outside the vehicle.

Bonus points on cooler intake air and cleaner air filters.
