Many might be curious to what size of the tire I went with & why (considering my previous Jeep Wrangler on 35s and their capability on snow)... Well, true overlanding rig IMHO has no need for anything larger than just a +1size in tire that is All-Terrain, rather than a regular highway tire...

Pretty basic build - full of love for overland adventures - just as most of us can relate to... Feel free to ask questions as I post, please edit your replies to exclude large amounts of "other's context", thus it will be an easy thread for everyone to review and weigh in... I've gone to...

Havent had mine for too long, but first 1000miles of gravel backroads are fine... 2003 LX470 w/ AHC... love the comfort setting to run on the washboard. So far no issues

I've got both color & B/W - yet there is something about this one - that just made me like it more... Thanks!!!

I've decided to install 4.88s even to run my 33s at this point, along with throwing the ARBs front/rear, being very possible that I might upgrade the suspension from AHC to OME style 1 1/2 lift... and run 35 eventually, but only time will tell... At this point - my guy that does gears, said...

Being a former Jeep guy mostly, IMHO 150 RPMs isnt that much of a deal on MPGs, considering facts that an overlander usually carries a bunch more cargo and has a higher level of airflow resistance... so 150rpms extra would be a good thing... Thanks Rob

Correct me if I'm wrong (for the calculator numbers) with stock gears (4.10) and 31 tire - at 60MPH - RPMs will be around 1950 with upgraded to 4.88s and 33 tire - at 60MPH - RPMS will be around 2100 Did i figure it our this tire correct?

Rob, Have seen that, and downloaded the calculator... Always considered myself pretty comprehending person when it came to such things, but even your info still keeps me in the "confused" state.

Have a complete set (5) of 19inch wheels/rims with used tires, some tread left. Make an offer, willing to ship if need be (can arrange shipping if not wanting to pick up local) Salem, Oregon

Make an offer I cant refuse... Salem, Oregon p.s. Also have rear upper spoiler & set of 275/65R18 Toyo OpenCountry good tread.

Am registered there, but see no good thread to answer my question... Honestly, really dissaponted to find out how the Yota Forums been ran, IMHO Jeep guys are a lot more involved & organized as far as info... I guess I might be the first to go into this and actually do a write up.

Anyone with LX470 gone through with the ARB front/rear locker installation? I'm considering the installation, would like to see if anyone gone through with it. Just want to opinion on location of the buttons, and possibly pictures of the install, where the air lines where ran, etc. Gear swap...

really like this one... and this one was alright too...

Sorry for a late reply, Those are german made ceramic type ones, that come in the newer BMWs.

about a month ago, I picked up 03 LX470 for $15k on a private sale, it was a soccer mom's vehicle local to Portland, OR since mile 1 on odometer. Full service history from the same local dealer it was bought from. Just prior to that, I sold my 05 LR3 HSE w/HD package to another adventurer in...

Any "homebuilder" here that has any reasonable skill would agree, that if "he was" to build that in his home garage - it would cost him no more than $15k to get it just as good, or better, considering it would have been built to custom fit customer's application. IMHO - thats really overpriced...

Any ideas if the bumper would fit a 2003 Lexus LX470? would be interested if it can be fitted with minor mods, I do have a welder :)

gone up to Olallie Lake lately (or ever)? Snow is gone from the north skyline rd. access area, and hwy46 is clear from Detroit to Estacada... Some excellent view there as well...

I've really been having hard time weighting out - worth/not worth type - opinion on going with a 30.05 vs 31.50 size tire, 3/4 clearance - makes that much difference??? I see it being a difference between a smaller 31in vs 35in... but when is only a 1/2 to 3/4in difference in clearance... is...
