Always behind the times, I just realized I haven't posted up my Hundred's information:
It's a 2005 Lexus LX470 in Granite Grey. I've had this one for a year, but previously had a 2000 LX470 for a couple of years. As I've posted in a couple of other places, I was surprised to conclude that the 2005 seems to have noticeably better performance. There's a few more horsepower, and an additional gear in the transmission, and they seem to matter.
I got the 2005 with about 92,000 miles and have put on another 10K.
My goal was to build a stealthy expedition mall crawler, so I intentionally kept everything as stock-looking as possible, with very little in the way of exterior mods. If I'm doing anything challenging, I've got my winch on a receiver plate that I can take along, a roof rack for moving the spare and taking more tools, and can put on more aggressive tires. The one thing I couldn't keep stock was the fiberglass running boards which would be very easy to break, so a set of Metal Tech sliders was put on.
Inside, however, there's been extensive work to create a workable camper out of the back end. There's a big battery, and inverter/charger, water and waster water tanks, a sink and faucet, multiple AC and DC outlets and plenty of room to sleep comfortably. My favorite mod is the way the sleeping platform folds so that I've been able to keep the stock second row seating. Given that we use the truck as my daily driver, sometimes with up to four people, it was an important design criteria to keep that seating intact. But I also use the truck as a solo backcountry camper, and it works well for that, too.
There's a fairly detailed build thread focusing on the rear cabin conversion here:
