Haha it does seem like an era for me. A bit like a divorce financially.

I obviously have a love for the Toyota and esp. Lexus brand. So I got a 2006 GX470. Black Onyx with charcoal grey leather interior. I had never seen that before so it was cool. It's a monster truck compared to the RX and I always was envious of GS owners. The interior is in many ways very similar. Seats are the same up front but firmer. The wood is more pronounced and there is more of it. Just a great luxury SUV with serious torque and a gas guzzler like it's an alcoholic. I have slammed the peddle a couple of times and was blown away, then I had to get gas haha.

Love things about the RX. It's slick and delicate n design. Interior is cool. VERY reliable. I will miss it. Wont miss the horrible blind spots, weak power though.

It's called a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado in Japan.


I have gotten the rear spoiler and a few small mods I can afford since.


ML stereo, DVD player etc etc. Third row seating. It's all anyone could ever want that prob. wont use

Wow this thread so empty of action. I got some stuff for the GX but really cosmetic and small fry.

BUT I got this really cool HD/GPS Videocamera Black Box. I had to share. I think we all should have one OEM lol. MAKE SURE you select the 1080P rez while watching This software is so cool. I can look at the vid. details but also see the GPS map tracking my movements. Just fantastic.


Thought I would poke in, say hi and share a little hehe.

Interesting you would say that infinirx. Here in Australia, there was a Toyota Landcruiser Prado released as a Toyota. There was a Lexus released called the Lexus LX470. 2 seperate cars

Wikipedia does and doesn't agree agrees with you but the Australian market definately doesn't

But they both do agree. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. And one can never take those sites at 100% anyways. Some good info some bad info.

The Prado is what the old Landcruiser used to be before it was stretched into its current iteration.

Put the back seats up again, after carrying the border collie and her cage to Christmas in-laws last week. Took to Sewell-Dallas for a wash (I am hooked on that; I thought it was a selling gimmick but I apparently got sucked into it).

Draco, I think you're confusing the GX (which we don't get here) with the larger LX series. The GX is based on the Prado which is a smaller version of the full sized Landcruiser. The LX470 (and now LX570) is based on the full sized Cruiser.

On a recent trip along the Gibb River Road I was amazed at how many Prados there were up there compared with Cruisers. A lot of Mitsubishi Pajeros too. I had a 70 series Landcruiser on hire - tough as old boots. Friends at work assumed I'd take the RX - no way!

My GX is the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. 120. Lots of small differences but overall the same. Funny thing is they even America out with a two door version. So odd to look at but hey.

Painted the lip under the front bumper silver, I think it gives it a more modern look
