Lexcruiser.... my 2000 LX470 build thread

[hidesertwheelin]

I just brought this home on Friday. 2000 LX470 with 147k miles. Plans include a small lift, new tires, armor, roof rack, and an RTT.

Just placed an order for an Ironman4X4 deluxe bull bar.

I forgot to post way back then that the place I bought the bumper from messed up on the shipping and wanted to charge me another $100 to ship over what I had already paid. I cancelled it.

Dude! What a sweet truck! That's going to be an awesome build! Sub'd!

I agree! Looking forward to seeing updates!

Picked up this awesome storage unit from Jerry @ Tembo Tusk along with a Skottle. Also picked up some stock land cruiser torsion bars to replace the smaller AHC ones.

Cool build so far. I like the storage drawers...I really need to get something like this for my WJ.

Thanks. I got lucky and fell into these. I paid $150 for it. The slides and locks are worth more than than.

Came home from work and these were sitting on the front porch :sombrero:

Finally removed the running boards and mounted my 255/85/16's. Roof rack is supposed to arrive next week. As soon as I get it powder coated I can get it any my RTT mounted.

That's the vehicle I want to start (likely the Lexus version, as the LC wasn't available in Canada) with when I get back from our time away in Africa. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it and where it takes you.
Really classy looking drawer system, too. Nice score for $150!!

The roof rack came in yesterday. I just dropped it of at the powder coater. Hope to have it back next week.

 

[hidesertwheelin]

Picked up the rack from the powder coating shop. The plan was to install it tonight, but then it started pouring. Oh well, hopefully during the week.

 

[hidesertwheelin]

Got the roof rack mounted. Just need to do some more adjusting to it. Then hopefully I will get the RTT and awning mounted this weekend.

Mounted my Howling Moon 1.6 Stargazer RTT.

Was supposed to go out last weekend, but didn't make it. So I spent some time and mounted my ARB awning.
