rugger Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Anyone's or anyone you know? Have questions. Specifically regarding the lift and AHC. Is that just at the factory max height or is it a lift? TIA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamsloan Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm gonna go with a 2" spacer lift and just new wheels with wider tires. Looks like it's done right. More capability without a ton of extra heavy crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browndog Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Craigslist casual encounters? “You have a sexy, lifted Lexus with a bike rack.

Yosmithy Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 oh geez, he's back to putting those notes on cars again. I thought that restraining order covered this kind of thing? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The chain and padlock holding the rack is a nice touch. It’s says “I’m rugged despite not being a Land Cruiser.”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 To each their own , and its nice for sure but...... I see a vehicle that used to have a marginally comfortable ride/handling that has been lifted and now rides worse, handles worse, stops worse, and get even worse fuel economy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw something similar at my local "sport autos" place between work and home (Sutton Motorsports). I could have sworn it was a very nicely done Vehicross but maybe it was one of these Rally Fighters. I meant to stop to look but it was gone fairly quickly. They do have an FJ40 and some other pretty cool cars: https://www.suttonmotorsports.com/view-inventory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) For shits N' giggles i'd own a niva https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lada_Niva Did my share of offroading when we lived in utah and have no desire to relive that experience.

If one got a Toyota 5.7 for the MPG one made the wrong choice. Frankly, it's refreshing to see the LX outfitted a bit more akin to its capabilities instead of being so sterile. These things are ridiculously capable off road. I see a bullet proof Toyota that will last as long as you put forth marginal effort in maintenance and care 😉 I'm inquiring because I am considering this gen LX or LC, but have concerns with the AHC suspension of the LX. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuitbreaker Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 i think that's technically a GX470... might want to update the thread title? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 No need, "sexy" will get that person's attention. Once I got the "car" thing out of my system with a BMW I have become more realistic, probably more like ATXZJ. My car gets me to and from the trailhead and that is about it.

My car gets me to and from the trailhead and that is about it. Pretty much this^ I was a total gearhead starting in HS and built and raced cars then moved onto offroading in my 30s. I have also been in the auto industry for 28 years which is most likely why i have little patience for working on cars🤣 Bring on electric!
