Had starter replaced, valve cover gaskets, new battery, both CV axles replaced, alignment and new 285 75r18 Hercules AT tires and Gear Alloy rims. I’m liking the new look.

@cmck - Those zip ties bothered me a little too, but with the amount of $ I've spent on everything else I can live with it!
@Lowbudgetlc100 - Yes, I did. Got a 2x2 sheet at Home Depot and cut it to size with the dremel tool and then bent it in a vice.

thanks gonna try
Cylinder #3 coil pack went bad at 286k. Scanned OBD, had spare, no engine cover, so it took maybe 53 seconds to replace

What did I do to my LX470 this weekend? I bought it.
It’s new to me, 234k on the odometer. Wicked clean underneath for a New England truck. Just about all I have to do is replace the upper hatch handle.

Bust out that CC and order up! Congrats!
Congrats! Looks great!
I got rid of the dinky/whimpy positive terminal for the battery and replaced with some Mil-Spec lead terminals and added a solid copper bar to the OEM connection via a stainless steel bolt and lock nut.... now on to wire my dual battery setup.
Looks sweet, but dry.
Dry?
As in, no dielectric grease or sealer? I am messing with the electronics so much I don't add dielectric grease to the terminals, I do to bulb sockets, winch components that sort of stuff.
Like the wheels . What is the back spacing and offset of the rims?
Looks good! I'll probably have to swing by when you're done with that to steal some ideas, per usual lol. I got the Slee tray and compressor installed, and aux fuse panel and bracket mounted- I just need to quit being indecisive about which system and battery to go with, and pull the freaking trigger. I have a master bathroom that is down to the studs, and a rapidly approaching due date that have kind of pushed the truck mods to the back burner. Temporarily, of course- the baby will obviously need a proper rear bumper to keep him safe, and a fridge for his milk.

@slamd here you go, they do rub passenger front a little, just a little trimming required. I really like the look.

I have something similar on my FJ80. I found a 2000 100 and am trying to sell my 80. Ordered my lift (Ironman) and now want to get my rims and tires figured out. Is the rubbing pretty bad and what is needing trim in the fender?
Just a little trimming around the plastic fender well at the moment. Barely touches. Haven’t had it off road yet. I will this weekend. Gear Alloy makes great rims
Have you tried a heat gun to heat up the plastic where it rubs and use some pliers or something to push it in?
When you get a chance would you mind taking a pic down the side of the truck? I’d like to see how much the tire sticks out of the fender, if at all.
So the Kenwood DDX417BTM was installed today to replace the factory fitted radio/tape deck
Installed the USB connection of the new unit, as well as dual USB 4.2 Amp for charging mobile phones in the blank area next to the aircon controles
