Went ahead and lifted my wifes daily. Some love it and some hate it. personally, we both like driving different looking vehicles and being able to stand out at the grocery store...and in this case, the local trails.

Specs and details:
Traxda 2in lift all around( Factory springs, shocks and struts retained)
Yokohoma Geolander M/T's (245/75/r17) Fake 32's 31.7's but i say 32 to all the naysayers
Bora 1in wheel adapters








Stealth Custom Series RS10 wheels, -10 offset
Muteki lugs
Ditch lights - Rago fab (still test fitting and powder coating)

 

Nice work. The tires have some aggressive sidewalls for my taste, but I get the appeal.

 

Thanks mate! yeah, they are a bit aggressive. i wanted Toyo M/T's as the sidewalls are a little more muted but i didn't want to pay 300+ per tire. Got these Geolanders for less at 210.

 

How do they work in the snow down Florida way?

 

I do like the look, but at least flare out your fenders so you're not damaging your vehicle and kicking up dirt and debris at others.

Underrated comment.

 

Sometimes attempting to look different, does make it look better.

 

My first thought was the thread starter must be from Moose Jaw or Regina...

 

lol. they do just about the same as they would on Black bear pass or Imogine trail. Sufficient and capable

 

Nah, i chose the offset of these wheels and size tire for the exact reason that it sits outside the fender and also allowing to stretch the legs on this thing. Im not worried about the debris. But if i was, i would have just kept it stock.

 

Lmao! believe me, id rather be in a state with snow and mountains instead of Florida. Its still fun down here though

 

What lift kit did you go with? Is it the one for the Highlander?
Don't see a listing for the Lexus

 

I really like the way this looks! I've referenced it several times to the shop I'm looking into doing some modifications to my RX. This is my 3rd RX and first one I'm going to modify. Ideally wanting to update the "off-road" capabilities, I use my RX for work and often have it off road in some very rural areas... But I also drive about 40k miles a year. I have questions in regards to how much does lifting and putting the all terrain wheels roughly change the mpg? How loud is it from the inside (wheels on highway?) How much different is the handling? I realize this an older thread, I'm new on here and appreciate any info you are willing to share. Thx!
