Maybe interested in the Bosch lamps with the integral grilles. They're fog pattern rather than driving pattern, yes? What kind of bulb -- H3?

Dralon is an acrylic fiber, originally developed by Bayer GmbH, but now spun off to Dralon GmbH like so many other textile fibers have been by the big multinational chemical companies. Acrylic is a good choice for exterior applications -- it's a highly UV stable polymer with low water absorption.

I'll give it a try, Trevor. There are definitely some situations where this could be useful.

Man, Lexus seems to be stretching to justify this design: “Everyone at Lexus believed that we should try putting forward our L-finesse design philosophy in a much bolder manner,” explains Takeshi Tanabe, project manager of the Lexus Design Division. “L-finesse consists of the...

Maybe you need to use the metal dectectors being promoted in your spam link to find your trailer in the snow.

Thanks, Christophe, for the tracking number and confirmation that the case was posted today when we spoke this afternoon. (21 Jan).

That's probably an important consideration in the GX facelift. With so little but the front changed, it was probably to move to the Lexus corporate spindle grille consistently across the product line. As the GX becomes a likely casualty in future product plans it gets hard to justify styling...

True enough that new designs cause a mix of complaint and praise. My friend moved from a Mercedes Benz GL450 to the Lexus, so it isn't a matter of defending a prior choice; she just likes the style of the 2013 better. And no doubt, Toyota and especially Lexus have fanboys that will praise...

A girlfriend, who likes cars but is not a car nut, just bought a 2013 GX460. She was happy to get one of the last of the old series because she thinks the new one is ugly as hell. That seems like a very bad sign for Toyota/Lexus. Sure, we guys (mostly) on this site have our preferences...

Any idea when it might actually arrive at its new home, Christophe?

Yay! This will be fun to watch. I'm in.

Why is that? Have you had a different experience in France? From my experience (being almost adopted into the French family of my best friend and travelling throughout France for three decades...) I've found French culture to be massively stereotyped and misunderstood in the US. In general...

Mine was a 1970 Datsun pickup in college, but we replaced that with a 1981 Toyota pickup we owned for 28 years... Small world. Kudos on the "rational" build. Don

Thanks for the thread. In a small-world coincidence, I'm working offline right now on the build details for my 2001 Tacoma Double Cab 4WD -- and I too am 6' 6".

Cool! I like their thinking, and it's refreshing to see a manufacturer who's "flexible".

That was a lot of fun to watch, Nico. Thanks!

Maybe call the folks at ARB and see what advice they have? On the face of it, this sounds like a bad idea...

Beautiful rig. Love the pix during the build. Thanks!

Here's one I took in La Jolla last month, near our offices where I spent most of December. I'd been wanting to play with longish-time exposure shots of water and the Pacific is a lot more interesting than anything around here. I need to do more of this to get the hang of it. Post-processing...

This one should be as much fun as the last one. In case you haven't seen them, steinbruchsoldat, you might want to read through these two threads on the excellent Garage Journal Forum. You may find a few ideas, and you're sure to be entertained...
