Default It has been her dream....wife's new rig!

For about 3-4 years, my wife has been longing for a LX570 - we almost bit the bullet on a 2013 LX570, then almost bought a new 2016 Landcruiser for $10k off MSRP, but never went through it.

The right deal showed up at a BMW dealership for a nightfall mica 16 LX570 with 18k miles, had the options and the light-wood interior with parchment that my wife liked, at a great price (just a hair over $72k). Been a longtime CL member when I had my LS460, wanted to show my wife's pride & joy and the reason my kids don't have a college fund!

I found a set of 20 inch Toyota Tundra TSS black rims (2nd pic below) with Continental rubber that I ended up installing; had to purchase some pre-owned TPMS sensors off Ebay and had Discount Tire mount them, but gives a little more aggressive look to the truck!



Clean & pristine!


Mean blue with the 20" Tundra rims!

Ohhhh - Very NICE!

Maybe you should take that beauty to an armored vehicle shop and have gun ports installed...
