    Looking at buying a 460... what impact will jumping to a 31"-32" tire have on MPG

    I'm wondering how big you can go on a 460 without changing anything. I was thinking of putting the 33s from my 550 on her's and get bigger tires for mine. But after taking some measurements, I kinda doubt they would even fit on her car.....

    🛠️ Member Build Eddie's 2024 OverTrail

    No doubt. Just pull the top rack off and stick it in the garage. Takes 30 minutes and it quiet as a mouse after that.

    Known GX550 issues in process on my GX550 OT+

    My brake noise hasn't happened in a few weeks. I'm at 1700 miles. I noticed the mirror vibration yesterday, but honestly thought it was because it keeps getting popped out in the car wash. Have you noticed the little whistle the mirror makes at low speeds with the driver window down?

    Leather Key Fob Holder

    This is why I want to make my GX a little different Because this time next year, it will be line the 460s.....they will be everywhere. I've had Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner TRD Pros and never upgraded the tires or suspension. But I'm going to do it on this one. Y'all might appreciate my new...

    Where to keep a holstered pistol ...

    I try to just keep mine on my belt in a paddle holster. Keep in mind i'm full time LE. When I'm off, I generally carry a Sig P365 Legion in a low profile Red Hill Tactical ISWB holster. It fits in the cup holder nicely between stops. The cool box is pretty worthless and you already know.

    Westcott Leveling Kit and 35s

    Since I decided not to spend the money on an aftermarket roof rack, I'm going to go against my original thoughts of wearing out the factory 33s before buying bigger tires. Based on what I've read here, I think the Westcott leveling kit and a set of 35" K02s or K03s would give me the look I'm...

    Trade in LC for GX 550 OT?

    The engine alone is worth the trade. I've seen a few LCs on the highway and they look good when they are tricked out. But the 4 banger just isn't any where close to the GX.

    North Texas New GX 550 - Atomic Silver

    I love Atomic Silver and this is our second one in that color. We've bought three vehicles from Park Place, Grapevine. I think you will love it. I've had several Toyota folks drive mine and they have all been shocked by the power of this twin turbo V6.

    Overtrail Roof Rack - Noise Reductions?

    No doubt that you can cover up the wind noise with stereo or fake engine noise, but I want to be able to carry on a conversation at highway speeds, without yelling!! LOL

    Overtrail Roof Rack - Noise Reductions?

    Finally had enough of the roof rack wind noise. Pulled off the rack this morning in about 30 minutes. Noise is gone. I'd thought about adding a Prinsu roof rack, but I think I will just hold onto this one and in the "rare" event that I go tent camping and need the rack, I will just throw it...

    Center Console Tray for Cool Box?

    Yeah, I don't know how much bigger the console would be without the coolbox, but so far, that has been a waste.

    Current GX 550 owners - questions....

    The main benefit for trading is you only pay tax on the difference between your trade and the cost of the vehicle, rather than the entire cost of the vehicle. For me, had I been able to sell my Denali for 5K more, it would have been a wash. I prefer them to handle all the paper work....

    Choosing Full Roof Rack: Prinsu or Westcott?

    I stopped by a local off road place to see about ordering the Prinsu RR and having it installed. The guy at the counter was all about Rhino-rack for some reason. I didn't care for the way the front looked and it doesn't have a wind deflector.

    False Alarm This Morning.....thankfully (rodent damage)

    I'm a little shocked at the lack of responses here. Surely some of you have had a run in with rodents? Personally, I hadn't heard about Toyota using soy based wire insulation until my first check engine light in the Tundra led up to an engine compartment full of half eaten acorns and a $500...

    Choosing Full Roof Rack: Prinsu or Westcott?

    I'm leaning towards the Prinsu RR and a Westcott leveling kit. Two of my good friends both have Prinsu and have been really happy with them...on a TACO and a 4Runner.

    Current GX 550 owners - questions....

    I've had mine about three weeks. Best interest rate was through PNC at 6.6%. My wife happens to be a Regional Investment Manager for them. I work for Tarrant County and I suspect the TC Credit Union will beat this rate by enough to refi next summer.

    False Alarm This Morning.....thankfully (rodent damage)

    My back yard backs up to a 4 lane city street with a storm drain just on the other side of my privacy fence. Apparently there are a lot of rats in the storm drain, because over the last 10 years, I've had the wires chewed on my TRD PRO Tundra 3 times costing me $500 each time and one time on my...
