Westcott designs collar lift
Kmc 17’s
285/75 KO3 tires

I love the way it turned out. Rides like factory and tires are quiet. Zero scrubbing

Hopefully I’ll get the 3/4 Westcott roof rack on this weekend and the bison gear overhead storage shelf

Changed the stock puddle lights to Lexus logo ones. Quick and easy “mod”.

Any thoughts on installing four instead of just the from two?

Oh I did change all 4, first picture is from the front seat and second of the back. They are identical so I didn't get all 4.

Autobahn i3 Ceramic tint to driver and passenger windows. Went with 35% as that’s what I do with my other vehicles. Also the lowest allowed (with DR note in VA).

Pics are in direct sun and assume it will appear a bit darker on cloudy days and in the evening. Never used Autobahn before but installer was thorough and did a great job.

How is the nighttime view with 35%. I was thinking of going with 50% on front windows and 75% in windshield.

Not too much?

It doesn’t appear to be much different. While slightly darker, I have no issue at all and I am not young . 20 would be too much for me and 50 doesn’t even look like you have any tint at all. I have 35 on my 911 which I have had a bit longer so I knew that 35 would be fine. Did 50 on another car just for UV as it has a white and blue interior so needed some protection but wasn’t looking to hide the interior.

35 seems to be just right for those looking for a good and transparent tint but also looking to somewhat match the back of the 550.

Getting ready for a six day trip up to northern CA to do the Lost Coast and other sites. I decided to add the Westcott Molle Panels to carry some xtra gas and water

First shakedown cruise of my new GX. Original plan was to go for a hike and stick to forest roads to get there. Ended up being a lot more than that and the vehicle performed.

Thanks - I'm working on a build video that should be ready by the end of September.

Went with LVGXOT+ and some friends to Laurel Lakes in the Eastern Sierras and caught some golden trout.

Looks amazing!

I would so run off the road taking in that scenery

Thanks. Just want to let everyone know that there were some rocky and tight turn sections that will need spotters. Also, its best to go up early in the morning since people come down in the afternoon. Some parts of the trail are not wide enough for vehicles to pass. The beautiful scenery and fishing made it all worth it. The skid plates did their job and when I took it in for routine maintenance today, the tech said everything underneath looked good/no damage. Whew! I didn't come out unscathed though, as my rear passenger wheel got scuffed by a rock. Oh well I'm learning, at least its not body damage, and some battle scars are inevitable.

Fixing the wheel problem will be a piece of cake. Much better than body damage.

Battle of scars!

Ready for tug of war?
