Gotta get the basics out of the way first. Front area storage is non-existent on these trucks. I love the Cool Box, it was on the short list of requirements as I was searching for another LX. But it definitely needs the little storage bin upgrade to be more useful. For those of you with LX570s that have not added one of these bins, I highly recommend getting one so you can actually make good use of your storage in that spot.
They are $15 on amazon. The best $15 you'll spend on your LX if you have a "Cool Box".
This link to the exact one that I purchased is in the video description. I tried to post the link here but this forum keeps breaking the amazon link.
And as usual. Here's the video. I know, it's super simple, but you guys know I like sharing these things with y'all

Tips on towing with an LX570 or LC200
I have had several questions from folks on other videos asking for a more detailed in depth video to cover tips on towing with a 200 series Land Cruiser or an LX570. I hope this video is helpful for you all on tips for towing with a 200 series.

Going to get the 2017 LX570 tuned tomorrow. I don't have quick access to a local 4wd dyno, so I used the PerfExpert phone app to get a baseline of the current HP/torque. I'll be getting it tuned tomorrow and will do more runs on PerfExpert to overlay on the chart and see what differences (if any) there are.

I wanted to start a thread apart from my other one to track the work and experience directly related to increasing power on the LC200 / LX570. The last several years there have been great improvements in capabilities to tune the ECU on the LC200 and the LX570 platform.
I have a TRD supercharger on the shelf that I'll be installing in a couple of months, along with new larger DW injectors and a big Bosch pump. I am not ready to do that yet, so I wanted to get an idea of what sort of power increase can be had on a 100% stock setup. No mods at all, other than just a simple flash tune to the ECU.
I was expecting 5-10 HP/TQ increase at best, but the results were surprising. I did a full video of my experience, the testing methodology, and all the data in as much detail as I could get. It's a little bit of a long video, but if you're a nerd about real data and seeing what the actual difference is versus just the "butt dyno", this might be worth a watch for you.
Once I get to the TRD supercharger installation and then tuning again after that I will continue to post updates in this thread to keep it all in one place.
Here is the thread on the step by step journey for more power, follow along if it's something you're interested in: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lx-...l#post11746329
