Lexus LX

At first glance, the Lexus LX570 impresses with its large proportions and showy looks. But what might not be immediately obvious to the passerby, is that hidden underneath all the luxury and glamour, is a highly capable off-road vehicle the likes of Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco and Mercedes G-Class.

2021 Lexus LX570

Lexus has been known for its off-road capable vehicles for decades now. The two key models include the LX and GX, both of which exist thanks to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which they are based on. With versatile performance on any terrain, the LX570 boasts excellent body stability on uneven surfaces, responsive steering, adaptive air suspension, crawl control, real-time four-wheel-drive with active traction control and 7000-lb towing capacity. It is a tough brick that likes to get its shoes dirty.

For those who desire to get more out of their LX, either new or old, there is a plethora of aftermarket parts and upgrades available that further enhance its off-road capabilities. Everything from lift kits, to body kits, light bars, snorkels, tires, wheels, brakes, suspension… and the list goes on. Upgrading your car with aftermarket performance parts is a great way to improve its functionality and to personalize it. With the vast amount of parts available for the LX570, there is everything one needs to make it their dream off-roader.

J201 Concept

The J201 Concept is an LX570 that has been fine-tuned with aftermarket performance parts. Its inspiration comes from the large community of Lexus SUV owners who love to venture off-road and explore the great outdoors. Lexus calls this group of people “Experimental Adventurers,” and has built the J201 Concept with them in mind. The name “J201” comes from the internal model code for the LX. J201 is the chassis code, which is well known among off-roading enthusiasts.

Performance differentials

Air snorkel

Air compressor for tire inflation

Interior Upgrades

Accessory interface for controlling lighting, differential, compressor, battery and angle meter

Aluminum storage cases

Drawers with dog bowls, tools and first aid kit

The J201 “Concept” isn’t a concept in the traditional sense, with one-off parts and a non production spec design. Rather, this is a standard LX570 with real world aftermarket parts from real brands, built to showcase the versatile capabilities of the LX platform. While the J201 Concept likely won’t make it to production, you can build one just like it using all the same parts. And if a new LX570 is pricey, older models of the LX, GX and Land Cruiser can be picked up for cheap. Even without all the fancy tech of a new LX570, they are nevertheless great platforms for driving off the beaten path and enjoying some outdoors.

The J201 is currently competing in the all-female Rebelle Rally, a week long event where participants are tasked with navigating across more than 1,200 miles of treacherous Nevada and California desert without a GPS or cell phone, moving from checkpoint to checkpoint using physical maps and a compass. With two expert drivers/navigators behind the wheel, I have no doubt the J201 will perform spectacularly.

Datasheet: For detailed technical information and specifications, it is recommended to refer to the J201 datasheet provided by the manufacturer. The datasheet typically includes information about electrical characteristics, ratings, operational parameters, and application notes.

Equivalent: The J201 JFET can often be substituted with similar JFETs depending on the application requirements. Common equivalents may include other N-Channel JFETs with similar specifications. It's important to check the datasheets of potential equivalents to ensure compatibility.

Specifications:

I arrived first.

I’m early, way early.

Why did I start the drive so early?

I don’t really know.

The guy that arrives second looks at me,

“What are you doing here?

I don’t think class starts for another

40 minutes.”

.

He said he was coming to drop off his homework

But then leave.

He stayed anyway. Don’t know why.

.

Why did I leave so early?

Was I bored? Was I lonely?

That could be it.

But I don’t really know.

Maybe I came cause I knew

This is where other people would be.

My friend, the only person

I’ve been talking to in this class,

Arrives third

Thank god.

Harvesting parts from these old PCBs. I had this need for a A100K pot and Christmas 🎄 has holding up the deliver from Tayda Electronics. So I started digging through my bin of old projects that never made it into a box 📦.

I didn’t my ideal A100K pot, it would have been 16mm with legs, but I did find a couple 12mm pots which might sub. These have a D shaped shaft which makes them harder to fit for knobs. While not finding what I was looking for was disappointing, I think I may have raided this bin at an earlier date, I did find some surprises. I found at least a half dozen J201 Fets, and a 4049UBE hex inverters. The J201s are great for stomp boxes and hard to get these days.

There was also a few 3PDT switches and a bunch of 1/4” jacks along with a handful of other things. Switches and jacks can always find some use. Personally I prefer the open frame Switchcraft jacks but these plastic ones are a good second choice.

Ré-création DIY #4 : Duende JFET

Nouvel article de la série Ré-création DIY, où on s’amuse en apprenant…. ou on apprends en s’amusant comme vous voulez ! Et pour ce 4ème volet, encore un circuit de Tim Escobedo, le Duende JFET, issu de sa page “Circuit Snippet” [1]. Ce n’est ni plus ni moins qu’un booster utilisant un transistor de type JFET comme élément actif pour amplifier le son.

J’ai choisi ce circuit justement pour…
