Man this video came at the absolute perfect timing. I just installed 5% tint on the LX and couldn’t see a dang thing when backing into my parking spot. I will 100% be getting those Lasfit Reverse lights. On another note - I’d have to throw in a set of Seat Jackers from Desert Does it. I have a set in my GX and it was my top #1 favorite upgrade. I’ll be ordering a set for my LX very soon. Cheers!
For around here, with all of the water crossings we have in the Ozarks I’d say extended diff breathers. Most people don’t know that the factory ones arent actually breathers. They are just a vent. So when they get up to temp they can vent off the needed air. Then when you cross that epic river or even just a small creek, they want to suck in air as they immediately contract due to the much colder water than the operating temp, and they’ll usually suck in water past the seals. A simple breather will end this problem. No more chocolate milk diff fluid.
Agree with all your choices. I've got them all except the skid plate. It's on my list. I would add interior molle panels and/or attic shelf from prospeedrack. Good to see your mug back on the 'tube!
Why the Scanguage 2 vs 3? One mod to my 05 LX is the Grom AUX in adapter, $90 shipped, I hook up a portable CarPlay screen but can also hookup my moded iPod 5th Gen.
You know I never even looked at the scangauge 3. It does look a little bigger than the 2. 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll have to check it out. I’ve heard good things about the Grom, maybe something to think about for the future.
@@LXPlore I would say the Grom carplay looks cool but 1) too expensive 2) you can't upgrade the actual screen. For $90 to get AUX in is great. I will say the $20 bluetooth radio transmitters do sound good but once you drive into an area where radio signals change then it a problem.

Thanks for watching the video. I chose not to go the Old Man Emu route. I have a bit of a hybrid lift. I have a video of my suspension… I’ll try and share the link to it.
All excellent advice! 👍🏼💯
@@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531 Sorry for the late response. The tow hooks came from Trail Tailor.
Thanks again for watching the video.

Boom! Thanks for watching. I’m glad I could be of some assistance. The install is super easy… I actually have an older install video.

Thanks for watching the video. Yes, extended diff breathers are a must for water crossing. Here in SoCal, water crossings are few.
Great video as always. Welcome back John.
Thank you sir!

Hahaha thank you, it’s good to be back. The attic shelf is definitely on the list of things to do. Thanks again for your support.
One question, where did you get the red tow hook on the front, I need to swap mine out...Thank you.

@@Being_Joe the GROM will most likely be my next mod. Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you add the lasfit part numbers?

@@LXPlore hopefully we will meet in Moab one day
@@9greatdanes981 hopefully one day… it’s been hard getting out and hitting the trails. My boys are super into baseball now.
As an American patriot, I can not support Asfir from Israel for moral reasons. Otherwise great list! Ordering LED bulbs now
Thanks for watching the video. The LED reverse lights are a must. 💪🏻😎
