Hi All:

I'm picking up my Atomic Silver OT+ later today. Wife drives a '06 LX and we have an '89FJ Landcruiser, so adding to the family. Pics to come...

We live in MA and will be using it to tow a Whaler in the summer and head to ski country (NH and ME) in the winter. Very much looking forward to using it!

Welcome and good luck today. Can't wait to see the pics.

Greetings from north eastern Oklahoma. My GX Premium is at the Port of Jacksonville awaiting delivery to the North Miami dealership.
Initially I was shocked at the lengthy wait times and number of folks on a wait list however, I think the GX550 is one of the best values in luxury SUV's. Some dealers are adding a lot of "blue sky" to the invoice and many will not sell to out of state customers. $80K for a Tahoe or Lincoln...ah, no!
The GX will be replacing a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Subaru Forester. Occasionally I'll be towing my small Lund fishing boat.
We will probably have it transported rather than fly / drive it back to OK.

Just took delivery! Flew down to LA and drove back up. Happy camper here.

Hello everyone! My name is Klint, and I am from Houston, Texas. I am currently waiting on my Incognito Luxury GX 550 but I am a huge modifier of my vehicles. Planning on doing the following (just don't tell the wife):

• Tint (25% Pass/Driver Front, 5% back)
• Wrap top in black gloss
• New front lower bumper (JW or victory4x4)
• Rockers (victory4x4)
• Vossen Hybrid Forged HF6 22" wheels
• 275x50x22 tire upgrade (undecided on which one)
• 2" Preload Collar Lift Kit
• PPF
• FITCAMX Dash Cam front and back
• disable fake engine sound
• underbody ground clearance/wheel well lights
  
  Let me know if I missed anything that would be a good addition to this!

Why not get the OT if you’re going to fit off road gear, lift etc. on the GX? Don’t you want the rear dif and E-KDSS? Would not even consider taking a Luxury with wheels that big off road.
Have a look at NYTop they have some cool front and rear bumper replacements you might like.

New 550 Owner as of last Sunday - Been on a waiting list for 15 months in GA and then found one in Miami . A flight down and a 9-hour drive back and the wait is over. Westcott leveling kit is next, tires, and then wrestling with what color to powder coat the premium + wheels. Thx for all the help this forum has already been.
