That was my first thought.

Installed OME mediums + MT 1.5" spacers up front.
Added Geolandar 315/75r16's this morning.

I want those seats in grey something fierce. But finding them in rhd is hard
I realized today I have an lspv. I always thought it was abs only. Guess I need to research a delete for non-abs 4 wheel disc brake rigs
Good morning did a restart on truck , the compressor is coming on fan blows . Not Cooling can I try a can of parts store freon? Thank You ... The ac compressor lQQks new and I fiddled with a Hot wire . That replace two clip ons. Attached to block switch. Thank You In advance
I am in the same boat. I have a new lspv ready but not sure if I am going to use it. I have non abs 4 wheel disc brakes as well. Nothing leaking back there but the rubber boat has a nice tear in it.
Replaced the Speedo gear o-ring, distributor o-ring & all three belts. The old belts were in fine shape but weren’t OEM and had the teeth/v-belt profile. Purchased these replacement parts back in March 
. Just wasn’t motivated to do the belts because the alternator tensioner is a pain in the butt.

Coolant leak, phh, number 1,2 bypass hoses under throttle body and by the phh.
Just had a great week visiting my sister and brother in Virginia Beach . It was a 600 mile one way trip . I had my wife ,2 daughter and grand baby with me . I took out the 2 back 3rd row seats for more room . While at my sisters house she had a new dishwasher delivered so I installed it for her . There was nothing wrong with the one I took out and my daughter needed one so thanks to room behind the 2nd row seats the dishwasher fit with all the luggage around it . While at my brothers house I took the after market head unit out and rewired it into the plugs that went into the factory amp . It got rid of the engine whining I was getting through the speakers using the factory amp wiring connection . In the lx450 you have to bypass the factory amp if you install a aftermarket head unit or you will have a whining noise from the engine into the speakers . I now have a great sounding system . I have been putting up with the whining noise for 11 years . My brother helped me with the wiring on the glove box side and I did the wiring on the radio side . On the way back I stopped at my daughters house in Asheville NC and installed the dishwasher . She loved it . I noticed the water heater was leaking water so I went to Home Depot and flopped down one side of the 2nd row seat and slid in a new water heater with room to spear . That's one thing I really like about the xl450 is it has all kinds of room . I installed the new water heater and she was very happy . I'm never going to sell my xl450 .
Continued 1HD-FT engine build…
Not all this last weekend but I've been making progress on getting ready for a upcoming trip
Over the last month or 2:
-New 37×13.5r18 bfg km3s
-Water pump, timing belt, rad hoses, thermostat, rad flush, rad flush, rad flush lol
-Confirmed oil pressure was good, 26 psi at idle, 67 at 3000rpm (dang gauge cluster had me all worried with it's wonky readings)
-Set the valves
-differential/transfer case oil change,
-built a bed platform, set up fridges underneath, and made some window shades for the sleeping area
-new tie rod end
-had the clear coat freshened up and remove almost all scratches
Still to do:
Replace A/c compressor
Install prinsu roof rack/pelican cases
Probably a few other things I'm not remembering as well

Very clean work and an even cleaner shop! I love the paint pen marks to verify torque!!!! Nice attention to detail.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
I’m lucky to have a dedicated, HVAC-controlled clean room to build important assemblies like engines.
It's funny. I just did the same thing with my oil pressure and mines identical to yours.
Looks great. Did you have the IP rebuilt? I'm trying to decide where to send mine.
Made it not be able to start
