Smile Hello

Hi I am new to this club.
I own a 2000 LX (mochaish color)
I looked around this club and had a few questions.

1.What suspension mods can be done to my LX?

2.(This may be off-topic)
Where can you get those Club-Lexus stickers that you put on your
car(exterior).I think I noticed Mr.1LoudLX having one
thanx, James

Welcome. You have the same color as me? Has it faded yet? hahaha anyways yeah welcome to CL.

Suspension Mods for the Auto Height Control(AHC) are very limited. However if you want to do some modifications, you could take out your AHC and put a regular setup like the Landcruisers have in, and do an Old Man Emu lift. If you looking for On-Road performance upgrades to the suspension, you bought the wrong truck.

well if you go slow offroad...you can simply push up on the AHC button and you can give yourself an instant 2" lift. Just dont go over like 15mph or something or it will lower back down to normal.

theres like one or two of the Smokey Topaz colors in my area. They are bone stock and are almost always filthy as *#*#. I always smile when i see those, knowing how much nicer mine is. Heh.

I havent seen any in my area.
I just look at the white and black ones and
I think to myself "My color may be crappy but their
white/black is as dim as a rusted bike.
I think I put too much wax on my cAR... lol

Hey, Welcome to the Club!

Yeah, I was thinking of doing the OME upgrade but the AHC does a great job off-road anyways!

Maybe in the next 20,000 mile I'll reconsider.
