Updated pictures 05' LX470

Thought I'd share some pictures of the LX since I've changed up some minor cosmetic things...this past December marked 1 year of ownership. She did a 3k mile road trip last summer from VA to TX and then back, no sweat, but lots of GAS, oh well. It has been fun tinkering and working on this 100 series the last year. I waffled back and forth on selling her because my wife hates the truck, but I love it, and I've put a LOT of work and $$ into her so far. Plus I literally have no idea what I would replace it with...everything else on the road all looks the same i.e. boring...

Looking good care to share your mods? I like the grill.
Also what CarPlay screen did you go with?

Thanks

Thanks - just a fun DIY project using furniture grade lumber from Lowes...I just so happened to have the stencil for stars laying around...

That’s a great color. I would not be able to let it go.

And what I wouldn’t give for your hidden hitch. Toyota missed the boat when they phased that out. Should have been standard on all years.

Thanks! It's been fun adding/swapping parts here and there. The grille is just from Ebay, the fitment was surprising 100% perfect. There are quite a few different apply carplay solutions available, I got this one from Amazon, I'm really impressed with it for $150 or whatever I paid. I wanted something with new tech, but keeps the OEM radio, the key was the FM radio BT transmitter. The other mods are just 1.5" wheel spacers, black lug nuts, painted center cap with black hyper dip, oh and clear corners (Ebay). I think that's it.

Edit: I forgot the tires, they're Discount Tires poor man version of Toyo AT3, $600 installed for 4 tires, love them...couldn't pass up the $$ deal.

Thanks! I came to the same conclusion!! I've seen too many posts of car guys saying how they regretted selling their 100 series...
