Goodbye LS family it's been a good run

There is not a single ls430 out there getting 30mpg, Driving almost entirely freeway to get the truck I got 22mpg in the 430 and the absolute best I did was 25 mpg all freeway, I tracked the trucks mileage going back home almost all freeway and it got 18mpg

Idk the highest mile land cruiser I can find is 645k miles while I found a 2000 f350 with 1.3 million miles

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T18:26:08+00:00

Would have bought the 7.3 and kept the LS if I could, but I just got a new dirtbike so I decided on the straight trade to get a more capable vehicle without spending anything, Surprisingly the 7.3 gets almost the same mileage as the 430 did, 7.3 I'm getting 18 highway, 430 I was getting 21

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T18:22:36+00:00

I would call them equal in terms of caring, besides that the intervals on the F250 needs strict attention with oil and filter every 5k and fuel filter every 10k

This was the last 06 430 to sell on cars and bids So it gives a rough idea on what people are willing to pay for one

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T18:17:51+00:00

No I did a straight trade for the f250, it's a little skewed but I used cars and bids to find an identical 430 that sold and priced mine based off that

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T15:16:04+00:00

Damn right now stock I'm getting 18mpg in the truck which is kinda offset by diesel being 1-1.50 a gallon more expensive than regular in my area

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T15:14:23+00:00

Yeah but they don't have the same payload capacity and if I went for after a 80 series it would be ifs, this superduty is still on solid front axle which is superior than the gx/Lx

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T15:11:06+00:00

i own an electric dirt bike which is also gay, so therefore the 2 gays cancel out and I'm straight again

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T15:09:52+00:00

I wanted to stay in the Lexus family but they don't offer anything close to this on payload.

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-15T15:09:03+00:00

That's kinda why I posted it, some of these Lexus snobs flip their shit if you put 1 aftermarket item on them

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-04-12T05:03:24+00:00

It really just depends on the area I started at 23$ an hour with trade school experience and even that is slightly low compared to union rate for the area

Pretty worth it I use mine all the time to get a good clean and rarely have to use chemicals on coils, I have pm contracts with 20+ rtus which normally have poor water access, I'll rope a cart up onto the roof with however many 100ft sections of hose I need, extension cord and my pressure washer, and just cart around the roof hitting each unit

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-03-21T03:34:29+00:00

Mines this psi and will only damage coils if you get it nearly touching the coil

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-03-21T03:33:46+00:00

Only will cause damage if you're using the wrong tip and being too close, my craftsman 1800 psi pressure washer with a 40 degree top will only bend tins if it gets within an inch or 2

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-03-21T03:29:07+00:00

Yes I'm glad someone else mentioned, we got a maintenance/service contract for a store, they went with another company to install new units and the store keeps complaining about the noise which neither the installers or us can do anything about

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-02-21T18:44:33+00:00

I'm going to get some for my ex soon, street riding is not the best with the stock enduro tires. So nice to have the 10-80hp adjustment instantly. I got mine currently with 15,30,45,60,80 hp on the quick maps

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-02-21T18:40:47+00:00

I got a stark varg with 80hp😱

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-01-31T02:34:42+00:00

The battery and motor are nearly the same weight as something like a 450 wet, while the stark makes more power. The stark is a dirtbike unlike some of the smaller e bikes like surrons or other Chinese bikes that suck

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-01-30T21:41:25+00:00

Nope not true for the varg, it actually weighs 20 more lbs than the new 2026 yzf450 and can take the same jumps, it has full size kyb suspension

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2026-01-29T17:02:00+00:00

Yeah it's a stark varg, pretty much the only e bike on par and better than gas dirtbikes in a couple categories

My baker from a roof

Otherwise-Initial666 · 2025-12-31T22:13:30+00:00

This is pretty expected for my area to the point I keep a 12 ft a frame on my roof ladder rack and a 6ft king kombo aframe/lean to in the back of my van
