Lol I think he meant Lift Support.....

That looks gorgeous, Mike! I hope to have my 2011 looking that good by the end of the summer. It needs a little paint correction before I can apply any protection.

This one is a little lame, but I changed the lugnuts from silver to black on the wife's 2015 fsport. It was missing two wheel locks when we purchased it, so I decided to replace them all with some black Tundra lug nuts.

Default TEST FITTED New Rims

First test fit of new rims.

Koko Kuture by Giovanna Wheels - KAPANS

22" x 9.5" front, +30MM offset

22" x 10.5" rear, +20MM offset (rear tires going from 295/25/22 to 305/30/22)

Skipper lowering links will be fine tuned to have the vehicle sit lower front and rear.
Ceramic coating the rims, painting the calipers to bright blue w/ clear coat.
Ordered roof spoiler and trunk lip spoiler, to be put on next week.

Alright if and when I change them again at about 280k if this things still cruisin I'll keep that in mind. I will note that the TT Denso plugs were quite fouled when I had plugs replaced about 35k ago. Spark seems good with the Autolites presently getting better than ever mpg. If I had low mileage and the car was mint I'd spring for the best. Thanks for the tip though.

Your attitude has changed even if your plugs have not, that's a good thing.

Put new Michelins on the car after a concrete chunk on the highway blew out one of the crap Achilles tires (about 60 dollars a tire at Wal-Mart) the Lexus dealership put on the car before selling it.

LOL. Outstanding. I thought the same thing. Funfact is correct too...There are MANY accounts of issues with aftermarket plugs on the LS. Stick with Denso. I'm not sure I'd even use NGK as an alternative, but that's me.

After you get done doing the spark plugs on this car you're not just gonna sit there and be quiet while you get knocked on the internet about the spark plugs you used. At least I'm not. My plugs are fine for me and I've moved on. Doing brakes now
