What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

I added hitch bike rack.

This FX did not come with a factory hitch, so I added the Curt. I paid to have it installed.

The rack on the FX I bought.

Clearance from rack.

This is the 2 inch to 1 1/4 adapter. It turns out that this 3 inch extension provides the perfect clearance needed to use my Yakima Holdup rack.

thanks, i didn't expect such a good result. i am glad i bought gloss black can instead of satin black i was going to. overall color match is a good 9 out of 10 compared to the rest.
will take more pics asap.
I don't know how durable this paint job is though. only time will tell.
 
Full detail and two coats of wax to get her ready for the Chicago winter. If the weather holds in December, another layer of wax maybe upcoming. :tup:

Thanks Soon, the sony is ok, but you know how it is with photography, 10% equipment, 40% skill and 50% lighting

And the highlander and celica in the garage are my friends cars. I don't really do garage queens anymore; last I had was a 500hp DSM and I'm a little burned out on modding, for speed that is..

Thanks money.
 
Throttle body cleaned and a complete fuel system cleaned. Wow, what a difference!
Feels like new again! :) Detailed inside and out as well.

I need a new one, too. Mine takes two attempts to start now. I think mine's factory. Looks like it says 12/XX/2006 on the top. I know it died once a year ago from leaving lights on while pumping up tires and stuff at the drag strip.
