  1. Your sure welcome. I have not had really any issues with running them. Other then the occasional minor mud flap rub on the inner fender in reveres with the steering wheel at full lock. That only occurs when running at normal or low ride height on the LX. The LC didn't have the adjustable height feature so it pretty much always rubbed a little in the reverse with the steering at full lock either right or left. The tires still set inside the fenders, but are out closer to being flush now, then without the spacers where they are tucked excessively back inside in the fender.
  2. The original post was asking about wheel spacers, because they didn't like how the wheels and tires were tucked way up under the body. Which is what I have done to my LX and had them on my LC. There must be some confusion, these do nothing for height. Wheel spaces are only for a wide track width. I didn't have any good picks of the LX before I put the spacer on, there are plenty around the net of stock LXs though . Just Bing LX570 hit images tab. The one pic I did find was in high mode so it didn't show off the improved stance near as much as wanted to show you. If your looking for more height, I am not sure what you need other then some sort of lift kit, and with the LXs having the air suspension I am not sure there is a lift kit for them. The OPs original question was the same reason I run the spacers, I don't care for how the wheels set way back to the inside of the wheelwell. The wheel spacers are 1.25" thick and mount to the wheel hub with a hub centric design both inside and out to maintain a stable smooth balance. I am certain they do make the both 200s LX/LCs more stable since they widen the track or stance by 2.5 inches. But again I use them solely for the purpose that I think they improve the overall appearance.
  3. Here are some pics of my old LC with the same hub centric 1.25" spacers.
  4. Here are some pictures with the spacers. This one is without spacer.
  5. The only issue I have found so far with the LXs spacer setup , is th same one I had with the LCs. When in reverse backing up wheels turned full lock, I can here a slight rub on the iner fender area of the mudflap. For the LX In high mode that would not happen, looked like plenty of clearance, in low I thimk would about the same as normal hight mode, it's a little snug around the iner fender portion of the front mud flaps. I set the LX in each hight mode and turned the wheel full lock both ways. It should be fine in all hights, if that occasional situation that could cause that rubbing bothers you, it does appear to be part of the iner flap that doesn't seem to have much function, and could easily be trimmed off. It really never bothered me on the LC, it will be fine on the LX.
  6. The low fuel warning light coming on with 5 gallons left is really fine with me. It is the DTE 0 miles displaying when you really have 5 gallons still in the tank meaning it says 0 when reality is there is 50-80 miles to empty. That is what I don't like. To me that just creates unneeded stress. I know they can't pin it down to the exact mile you will run out. But ever other car I have owned gets it a lot closer then the LX/LC 200.
  7. I ran 1.25" double hub centric wheel spacers on my 2010 Land Cruiser, I too hated how the wheels were tucked up under it. I just got another set from Trail Sport unlimited for my LX. I should have them installed by sometime next week. The 1.25 worked perfect for curing that odd stance you mentioned without sticking them past the fenders on my LC. I am thinking I should get the same results with the LX. They run about 170.00 a set from trail sport. www.trailsport4x4.com Thanks for the link Eugene looks like trackplus may have what I been looking for my Jeep as well as spacers for the LC/LXs .
  8. True range should be 340-380 miles depending on driving habits and conditions. I think the typical average fuel mileage is around 14-16 mpg. We have almost 25 gallon capacity. So to be conservative, use 24 gallons x14 mpg is 336 mile range. I had a 2010 Land Cruiser for several years and now have a 2011 LX and both seem to base there DTE based on a 19-20 gallon tank when we really have closer to a 25 gallon tank. I find it pretty annoying and somewhat stressful when that light is on and the display says 0 DTE. Even though I know I have another 50-75 miles, its still annoying to have something telling you your out of gas when your really not in danger of running out.
