2017 570 the wife’s car is going to dealership for rotation and oil change.

No idea what the bill will be, but it can’t be cheaper then my $60 at home oil change rotation
It’s about $150 for our 2017 LC in an Indy shop. I did it a few times but for some reason the oil hits the pan so hard it shot out all over the place. I haven’t felt like buying a mat or fumoto for it yet so we just keep having a good relationship with our repair shop.

Not a bad price. Since we might sell this one I wanted to make sure we kept up with the prior owner and serviced at only Lexus.

I just record everything I do myself in a spreadsheet. Hopefully that counts as “records” to a potential buyer. Who knows though.

I think that process is great. That’s how I do my 08. It’s easy to see who cares about there units. I didn’t need to do the door seals, the dealer didn’t fix on my 17 but it drove me nuts. Same with 3m film I put on the head lights
 
Took the new TopOak Galaxy 2.0 Rooftop Tent out for it's maiden voyage. (Very happy with it!)

Added Hamilton Motor Company's Carplay to the 2018 LC. (Incredibly happy with the outcome.)

Why did you replace the door seals?
 
I finally installed my Gamiviti rack and couldn't be happier. I'm very impressed with the finish quality and beefiness of this rack. Plus, it looks amazing, and Tim was a pleasure to deal with. If you're looking for something that is handmade in the US, is super strong, and looks amazing, this is a great option. Gamivity has loads of attachment solutions and YouTube videos showing how to mount to the rack - Including the amazing RDL Ghost Awning - which I have sitting in my garage waiting for me to install it. I'm giving this 6 stars out of 5 ;)

How is it noise wise at ~75mph?
 
It’s silent. I installed the wind fairing - not shown in photos. Without it, it was loud at 20 MPH. Very loud at 50 mph
With the Rhino Rack I have added a wind fairing to cut the noise. I have seen a light bar installed in that space as well which probably makes it acceptable as well. Be good to share a picture of that as well for your setup and let folks know it is otherwise loud.

Took the truck wheeling at Windrock, TN and Gore, VA these past two weeks with some friends and other LC200's.

Special thanks to @laserturbo91 for his photo's. Always good wheeling and camping with you.

Footage with the new Insta360 X4 camera.

That front bumper is amongst the best looking and fitting to the shape of a 16+ LC200

Pleasure meeting you and wheeling together at Windrock

I have the full Prinsu rack with the front fairing. It’s quiet with the sunroof closed but at highway speeds you can hear noise coming fro the back, and mpg is reduced. I just removed every other cross bar (4) and it seems a bit quieter but haven’t driven it enough yet to know. Will be most interested in improving mpg on the highways.
 
How was your experience with that shop?

I think good! The kept it in shop overnight since it needed to be cold for the trans fluid. Always appreciated. They got it back in a day. No weird marks on anything when I got it back which is always nice. They did a good look over for me and reported back with pics. Felt professional with a personal touch. I sought them out for the trans fluid. I wanted someone who was familiar and they we were way better than any dealer imo.

What are your thoughts on those iKamper stairs? I was debating getting the Alucab ladder with the wider flat steps. The top oak ladder is adequate but steps are a challenge without shoes on.
