... Amazing that no matter what you put in it or on it, it doesn't really change that number.
until you start towing something, or spend a day in 4LO, then you can cut that in just about half... :frown:

Sorry details.

Nice! :cheers:
 
Nice job Shane.
 
Replaced my very first timing belt, water pump, idler pulleys, t-belt tensioner, thermostat, and cleaned my MAF sensor. 3 months ago, before I owned my hundy, all I knew how to do was an oil change. Was my t-belt job a success? I guess you will just have to find out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK-pqVzlPRs

I did the same thing. Slowest key turn in 13 years ever.

That's hilarious man! I literally sat in the garage and stared at my rig for 2 hours. My dad kept calling me asking if I had done it yet. H started to get pissed so I had to eventually.
 
I ended up having leftover plastidip from my rims, so I decided I'd just put it to use because I'm all eco-friendly like that and don't like wasting things. I lied. I'm just stingy :D

It actually came out a lot better than I had initially expected. Required probably the most preparation of any paint jobs I've done so far though, for plastidip at least.

I made an album of all the pictures I took during the process for those interested.

Spent an inordinate amount of time building and wiring the aux fuse panel!

Only powering a fridge outlet a few USBs a backup light and the cb radio for now. More stuff to come as $$$ allows!

That looks so empty without a subwoofer, cup holders etc.
 
I put a set of 295/70 18 or 35x11.50x18 Nitto Terra Grappler AT's on my LX. I really like the ride and look. With my AHC I am hoping that these work well when in high mode. I am going to go out wheeling Sunday so we will see how they perform and what kind of rubbing I will have to deal with. I imagine that I will be dealing with a pinch weld mod at the minimum.

Pics tomorrow in the daylight.
 
A few pics.

A Starbucks cup, a Lexus, and a cock all in one picture. Bravo.

Haaa I was waiting for the comments on exactly that. Well, the Starbucks and the Cock anyway. The 100 is looking less and less like a Lexus as time goes on.

Love what you've done to the rig man. I'm looking at getting a 100 in the next month or two and am starting to lean towards an LX470. Tires, bumpers, and bam - no longer a mall cruiser (if you use it haha). Keep up the great work! The 295's look killer.

Thanks! You will love the 100 series, I am really happy with the LX. Yeah they look great, so far the only issue has been the aftermarket front mud flaps I put on had to be removed and I see a faint rub line on the frame from full lock. Tomorrow I will know how they really work out. 4.88's and ARB's are my next planned major upgrade.
 
1. Finally wired up my bull bar lights
2. Added lights to roof rack. not wired in yet
3. Added 4' antenna to rear bumper
4. Blacked out the front grille and the Lexus emblem
5. Took the dogs to the groomer...
 
Took advantage of the 70+ degree weather in DC and Installed my $500 metal tech sliders :) Detailed photos and comments to follow

Did you find the hardware a bit tough to work? The threads on the bolts and the supplied nuts were very difficult to snug down.
 
Yes - pretty tough to get them completely snug, much less to the spec 50 ft lbs

I am investing in a right angle torque wrench to help with this before I crawl back under to help with adjusting/leveling... And securing brake lines.
 
Posted a thread on this, but crossed into Canada today and had Krown rust preventative treatment applied. Hope it works.
