New Build! 1999 LX470
So I started a new build this week. We want a beach/mountain vehicle. After a month long search.We settled on a 1999 LX470 with 189,00 in good shape. It arrived This Wednesday June 21st 2017. That day I got the engine flushed and a full synthetic oil change. Filled up with gas a put in a full system fuel cleaner. I also had all the windows tinted. Saturday we had off road wheels and BFG All Terrain K02 tires installed. 275/55R20s. I also ordered the ARB awning 1250 - 814301. I am currently looking for a brush-guard, bull-bar or full bumper with winch. I haven't decided which yet. North Carolina Has wonderful 4x4 beaches and the mountains. We want to get off the beaten path and really see more of both. And even though we have the 2017 LX570. We are not willing to damage it. Plus I wanted a project to work on. here are pictures so far. Any suggestions, great deals or comments are welcome.
1999 LX470 as purchased.

I must Agree. I have hardly driven my 2017 LX since I got the 1999 LX. I love the tech in the 2017 but the series 100s just are classic greatness

I did a lot work on the beast this weekend. The headlights came in so I installed them and wired up the Halo and LED functions. Wow what a change! The Bull Bar also came in. That was a pain in the behind to install. 18 year old bolts don't come out easy. I also plastic dipped the bull bar. Here are the latest pics.
