Any plans for it..........Supercharger????
Looks great as it is....I think the LX is the sharpest SUV right after the
Mercedes G500, nothing beats the look of a Brinks armored truck

GatorGreg,
Any regrets not buying a later model with all the trinkets of updates? Yes, I am still picking your brain for info buying an older model LX. My heart says buy a nice used 2001 with the Mark Levinson audio system and navigation, but my wallet and investment accounts say "Buy what's cheapest..."
Thanks,

That is so good to hear that you have no regrets about buying your LX. Your comment about the steering wheel makes me wonder if we should further consider a 2000 early next year after tax season. It looks really sharp. It's honestly going to come down to the Lexus dealer that will give us the best price.
Have fun!
Have fun!

Nice looking truck. I'd personally take the LX470 over the G-Wagen, and I'd spend the money I saved on the TRD supercharger.
Can somebody please tell me what that button next to the outside temp display does? It almost looks like a button for raising and lowering an antenna, but I'm not sure.

Turning the radio on automatically extends the antenna to whatever height was last selected with the antenna switch, while turning it off or switching from radio to CD/DVD will automatically retract it all the way.

Thanks for confirming my hypothesis, Greg. I had a feeling the button was to allow one to retract the antenna mast while off-roading, without having to turn off the radio completely. Because of course, if the terrain is that harsh, the CD changer will likely skip too much to be of use

GG,
Wanted to ask you about the location you chose to install your DVD Changer....now that you've lived with it there for a while, has it's location hindered the "comfort" of any front seat passengers? Is the unit getting "kicked" about?
I'm wrestling with a rear location mounting vs. your choice (neither is ideal, as the center console would be best, but we know it won't fit - our old FJ80 accepted a changer perfectly, go figure).
Would you locate it in the same place if you did it all over again?
At least in your install location, you can access the changer to some degree from the front seat - no chance if located aft.
Thanks and happy fourth!
Bill

Not sure what changer you're planning to install, but you may want to compare its overall size to mine. According to THIS ALPINE LINK, the one I've got installed under the dash is 10" x 3" x 8"

Yep, I know that model and the dimensions, very nice changer. We're going with a little known brand (Rosen 3210)...taking a leap of faith....the changer is same length (10") but a little "taller" at 3.75" and a little shallower at 6" deep. We'll see how things go......
Thanks,
Bill
