Yeah, that is normal!

Since he has a bunch of mods he has more wheel travel.

Very Sweet Rig!

Yeah, but he's on his THIRD steering rack...at $800 a pop! LC 100's are just not intended for rock-crawling.

I think it has AHC, plus the kaymar rear bar, which is like 150 lbs. Up front, the trick is to readjust the t-bars so the front AHC pressure is back within spec. You need a lexus hand tester to measure the AHC pressure (do this with the engine OFF, or the readings jump all over!). You'll also need a new front alignment after adjusting the t-bars.

I wonder if the dealership will readjust your AHC!

I heard those running boards come stock OZ on the LX!

interesting about the t-bars, makes sense tho. And those are stock boards overseas ive know that for a fact for a while. We get all gussied up versions of things, which isnt bad but. Ied love to be able to choose which one i had.

I think those are the stock running boards in Oz. Note that for the front AHC, you can adjust the t-bars. For the rear, you can only change the springs (not exactly the correct thing to do) or add air bags in the springs. Dinibli did this to his 06 Oz-spec LC since he tows a heavy trailer offroad, ARB deluxe winchbar w/ winch, plus has an ARB rear bar w/ tire carrier, tons of other gear. All this makes his AHC revert to low mode, yet he drives around most of the time w/ no load. The airbags were his solution.
