    STICKER PRICE ADD-ON'S

    The quality of the ceramic coat does not merit their asking price. Additionally the front clip film will show a big seam over the paint and will be an eyesore. I’d recommend omitting these two addons from your vehicle. If you wanted those addons you can go to a detailing professional and have...

    OT Roof Rack

    So with such a low rating a roof top tent sleeping two adults will be out of the question? I’m still not sure of the bearing weight. Does that mean total weight over the bearing or just the weight of the rack?

    Overtrail vs Overtrail+.

    Is there any EQ or sound options in the menu?

    wheel locks?

    In that case they probably didn’t install them/provide them for you or they might have omitted it from your final bill of sale. I would check with your dealer and look at your invoice

    wheel locks?

    There probably should be one to each wheel. Doesn’t look like they are on the one pictured

    OT Roof Rack

    Roof rack weight limit is 165lb. I’m not sure if that’s unloaded or the total capacity.

    PPF worth it?

    That’s over caviar? I wonder if you can still see the flake or if it’s a solid black now

    TE37 ordering thread

    unfortunately no I won’t be getting some. That wheel you mentioned will be 23mm from suspension and poke 36mm. I suppose that won’t make much of a difference in the real world. But I’m waiting for a suspension guru to buy a set first and see what works haha. I do have a reseller in LA that has...

    Teaser for 18” Titan 7 T-AK1 Techna Bronze Wheels

    No you’re good I was just asking in broad terms if anyone would be able to provide some insight. I’m newer to the off-road community but have been following along on the internet for about a year now. My background is in road racing so I’m familiar with suspension geometries and know there’s...

    Teaser for 18” Titan 7 T-AK1 Techna Bronze Wheels

    285 should fit depending on the brand. It’s only a 15mm increase. Downsizing to a 17 with a 285 will put you same distance to oem

    What benefit does that wheel give if it detracts from oem geometry

    GX550 vs 2024 Sequoia

    Historically the sequoia has been the on road family suv of choice. It was never able to apex the GX or land cruisers of the time. Kind of an off topic comment but I wished Lexus would have brought their minivans to the us market. I’ve been wishing that for a long time. I believe if there were...

    My GX550 impressions

    Humans have always been fixated on wood species and its implementation in daily life. Wood trims used to be a Lexus signature, so I can empathize the frustration of not seeing that on the new GX. But after sitting in one, I’m glad there is no wood. It would have definitely hindered the design...

    All Weather Cargo Mat

    You’ll probably soon see weather tech and tux mats offering some whenever they get a car to scan. I’m not sure if they’re are any genuine jdm mats available yet in other markets.

    Which GX provides smoother ride on roads?

    I think the overtrail would have the best ride because of EKDSS. It’s slated to be a great on road advantage to keep the vehicle flat in corners and over undulations and imperfections. It’s a shame kdss wasn’t standard for all trims.

    Am I a Lexus guy?

    I’ve always had a soft spot for land rovers. The new GX is the Land Rover I always dreamed of. Doesn’t hurt that it’s a Toyota and going to last forever. Enjoy!

    GX550 with Method Wheels running 35x12.50 tires

    Yeah or downsizing to a 17 with a 285 to match the diameter of the oem 18 with 265 and same positive wheel offset. That seems to be the easiest less invasive way to get more tire and only cause 15mm of height difference but keep the wheel same distance from strut. I don’t think a lift and...

    GX550 with Method Wheels running 35x12.50 tires

    I think it’s the fender liners yes. So it’s going be invasive for upsizing the tire.

    California GX550 owners club

    I’m jumping the gun here, but I would like to get a California owners club going. Maybe a staff member can help me create a new category for this based on region? I would like to see this community come into existence in real life with meetups, events, and other social gatherings. I think this...

    What vehicle will the GX550 replace?

    I think it would be a good pairing. I plan to have my GX be the main vehicle and keep the Tesla in the garage plugged in for whenever my spouse takes the GX to work and I need to get around. I work from home so having something like a Tesla that can be a set it and forget it vehicle meaning I...

    2 Cargo Mats on build sheet?

    The cargo mat should be the durable carpet styled mat. The all weather mat would be the hard rubber style with protrusions pattern that would probably overlay the other mat.

    PPF worth it?

    I really want to PPF my whole GX but I think I’m going to end up just doing the front clip, doors, and door sills and anything that’s gloss black. I feel like this would be a good value compromise as supposed to doing everything. That way I get my front clip protected and avoid scratching the...

    Lexus GX550 Nebula Gray Pearl Photo Thread

    I saw the nebula grey in person over the weekend. In my opinion that color looks very conservative in photos, but in person I think it’s my favorite color on the GX. I wish it was offered in the overtrail. It’s definitely a sleeper color and really changed my mind on my favorite color so far for...

    GX550 Caviar Photos ⚫

    I found the caviar to be an exceptional color in person. What I don’t like is the pearl flake that it has underneath the clear coat. I would have preferred a solid black like the old GX. The pearl flake messes with my ocd and makes me thing the whole car has chips and inconsistencies lol. I do...

    ARB (and other) accessories for GX?

    Although I’m happy to see Lexus embrace aftermarket outfitter companies and use their products to offer parts at the dealer backed by warranties, I would still prefer the Lexus oem accessories over mentioned above. I personally have had problems with American suppliers for longevity and build...
