I purchased this vehicle in Chicago from a dealer who had it for sale for about 30 mins. When i purchased it it had a CEL for emissions. I drove it across country to SoCal where construction of this project would take place.
- The front bumper is 1.75" .120 wall tubing and houses a smittybuilt 8K winch, the bumper is bolted to the frame so it can be removed for service.
- There are 11 forward facing lights on the LX
- the suspension was done in house and has a 3.5" OME lift (medium spring rate) with OME shocks (it rides beautifully)
- The rear bumper with dual swing-a-ways house the full size spare, hi-lift and the kolpin fuel cans and maxtrax
- there are two LED rear facing lights that go on in reverse and have a bypass switch to aid on setting up camp or trailside repairs
- there is a $900 rearview mirror with backup camera built into it. the camera is mounted to aid in backing up and hitching a trailer alone.
- the rear bumper has an additional pair of LED stop/turn/tail lights because the tire partially obscures the factory tail lights.
- the fuel carrier has a "euro" light in it, when the lights are turned on the red light stays on at all times (it is very bright)
- The LX has a set of bestop power boards which we custom fabricated mounts for so when a door is opened full length steps drop down to aid in entry
- the quad headlights have been converted to HID
- PHH done 1K miles ago
- I replaced the factory head unit so you can listen to a cd or any USB input device
- the driver seat leather is so-so
- the rest of the leather is in great shape
- the third row seats look BRAND NEW
- i installed a 1,000 wat inverter under the drivers seat
- the custom made roof basket can carry over 1,000 lbs. it is built from .095 tubing and fully welded (it is painted not powder coated) it needs a touch up
- all lights are on relays
- the 33" ProComp AT's are new and have roughly 3K miles on them. the wheels are factory FJ Cruiser and have been painted with outdoor furniture texture paint to match the factory paint (the lower plastic on the vehicle has also been painted with it). it has been on wheels and vehicle for 3 years, it looks great but could use a touchup.
- all decals can be removed
- i had the windows tinted
- there is a cobra all in one CB radio
- there are husky liner floor mats in the front and rear not the very rear.
- there is damage to the carpet in the very rear, it looks like someone transported a battery and acid got on the carpet.
- the paint is great shape for its age and while there are no dents there are various scratches indicative of a 16 year old off road SUV
- It has a safari snorkel and a K&N filter in the housing
- it has a scangauge that monitors fuel mileage, temps and gives an accurate speed
- on the freeway at 70MPH it gets 13-17MPG
- it has been on every trail in SoCal rated 5 or harder and does it with ease (pulling a trailer)
- I will miss this vehicle

Lexus dumps RC F Super GT in favor of stunning LC 500 racer
Fri, Aug 26 2016Japan's Super GT series remains a favorite at the Autoblog office, because like British Touring Cars and Germany's DTM, the cars look vaguely like the ones you can actually buy, and the racing is close and intense. And next year, Japan's wildest racing will include the Lexus LC 500. Toyota and Gazoo Racing are phasing out the old RC F – which will continue racing here in the US GT3 ranks since it's barely a year old – in favor of Lexus' bigger, cushier two-door coupe. The racer depends on a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder – just like every other car in the GT500 ranks – but unlike the 5.0-liter V8 or a 3.5-liter hybrid V6 in the LC 500s folks could actually buy. But let's ignore the mechanicals, because look at this monstrous racer. The LC is already the best looking car to wear Lexus' polarizing design language, but the aggressive cuts, angles, and oddly shaped headlights look great when paired with a Super GT car's aerodynamic appendages. Monstrous, flared wheel arches, a mammoth rear wing, and side skirts big enough to serve drinks on are just a few of the aero improvements for the LC 500 racer. Then, there's the really cool stuff, like the exhaust exit in the passenger side door. All cars should have side-exit exhausts in the door. According to Toyota and Gazoo's Google Translated website, the new LC 500 Super GT500 will campaign in the 2017 season. We can't wait to see it hit the track. Related Video:
2015 Lexus RC F
Fri, 05 Sep 2014I didn't get a chance to drive the Lexus IS F until 2009, two years after the car had gone on sale, but I still vividly remember the day it happened. Having piloted almost every other vehicle in the Lexus lineup at that point, I was stoked to finally get some wheel time in the V8-powered, flared-fender muscle sedan, but fully expected the car to offer a quick, sanitized and ultimately un-driverly experience. Lexus built well-screwed-together, comfortable, quiet, reliable luxury cars for the timid, right?
As it turned out, I was 100-percent incorrect. When the premium brand's lauded "skunkworks team" crammed that massive V8 into the innocent IS, and then tuned the thing for competent hot laps at Fuji Speedway (F = Fuji, if you haven't heard), they seemingly forgot every brand value that Lexus had curated over the previous 20 years. It was raw and loud, had fast-twitch reflexes and a penchant for power slides, and it went unyieldingly across the road surface like a racecar cut loose from the paddock.
As far as Ur- models and origin stories go, the IS F and Lexus F has a pretty compelling, if new, set. A backdrop against which the sequel, this 2015 RC F, must inevitably be viewed. Sure, the otherworldly LFA may have intervened as the second F model, but the RC carries forward an evolution of the 5.0-liter V8 thumper, some shared body and chassis constructions, similar in-your-face design and a ticket price that's squarely in the mix for premium buyers with a hankering to smoke tires.
Lexus LF-LC approved for production
Thu, 28 Mar 2013On the sidelines of a press drive for the 2014 Lexus IS, the company's vice president of marketing in the US told Ward's Auto that the honchos in Japan have approved the Lexus LF-LC concept for production. He wouldn't offer any other details on how the luxury coupe might be transformed into a vehicle for the buying masses, and that has led to a bag full of speculation.
The show car was hybrid-powered and rear-wheel drive, a beautifully executed stab by Toyota designers in Newport Beach at redefining Lexus, but even with the concept, the point was to keep it "within reach for premium buyers." The report says the odds are on limited production and higher pricing than Lexus' "mainstream products," and other sites have speculated on what kind of powertrain it might end up in showrooms with.
GT Channel posits that the LF-LC will be the inspiration for a coupe in the Lexus LS price bracket with a choice of either the 4.2-liter V8 or the hybrid powertrain from the LS 600h, further speculating it will be called LC 550 and cost more than $100,000. It then says that there would be another coupe created beneath that one to replace the SC 430. Lexus Enthusiast, however, calls those "warmed-over rumors" and says that the marque probably won't deviate from its engine-capacity-naming scheme - labeling a car with a 4.2-liter V8 an LC 550. Nor does it think Lexus will use the letters LC after the company has trademarked "RC" in the US and Australia.
