    Upgrading speakers in base 10-speaker stereo

    After adjusting EQ settings, leaving surround “on” I find the base system to be more than adequate. Low end bass is lacking a bit below 65hz but front sound stage is excellent and focused out over the hood where it belongs.

Full length garage drain inside the garage which is fully climate controlled. Winters are harsh in my...

    First oil filter dissect

    Accordion’d the filter at my first change. 1446 miles. Only one section had minor metallic debris and minimal RTV throughout. Under very heavy magnification there is a fair amount of shiny particles throughout but nothing outside normal for the first 1000k. Very well made in JAPAN filter I might...

    GX550h hybrid trunk space is mind boggling

    Downspecing the GX with the 2.4H was a big miss. Offers zero value proposition. mpg difference is non existent

    Greetings From The High Plains

    Welcome. I was in a similar situation with my GX purchase. Been through a mirade of full size trucks and the new Bronco. Wanted something to hang onto for the long haul. Came close to pulling the trigger on a low mileage "21" LC Heritage Edition with the 5.7. In the end the updated interior...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Something else to consider on the OT/+ models is the massive alumnimum skid plate that does act as a frame stiffener. Removed mine yesterday for the first oil change and was a bit taken back by it's size and thickness. This no doubts adds significant rigidity to the frame which is mentioned in...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Picked up my OT on Thursday last week and drove 3 legs home from SoCal to Wa. state. Spent Sat./Sun. in Boise for parent’s weekend with multiple short trips around the city before yesterday’s final leg home. Observations/opinions regarding “vibration”. Took 2 videos I’ll post shortly…...

    GX550 Real World MPG

    My trip total was 1546 miles over 4 days. Just ticked over from 20.9 to 21 mpg coming into my home town of Spokane WA. We spent a day and half in Boise for parents weekend with multiple short trips in stop-n-go and only noticed 2 tenths drop. I can't ever see dropping below 20 mpg in mine. I...

    GX550 Real World MPG

    Thank you for the heads up on those and no, ended up passing. I'm a bit of a gearhead and do pretty much everything on my own. I have a lift in my garage/shop and retired so it didn't have the same value proposition in my case.

    GX550 Real World MPG

    Picked it up mid morning and ran the first leg home from SoCal to St. George Utah. Started with 3 miles on the odo. 367 miles avg. 20.2 with a fair amount of climbing. Now that I’m in the winners circle I plan to wear clothing for the remainder… Too many weird looks at the pump.

    Not good! It’s like the shocks are locking up intermittently.

    Those are great prices and no I hadn't seen that. Patrick was still higher on his last goraound. I'm torn at this point.

    Appreciate it. My sales guy is Brett and I’ve had several conversations with Patrick. He’s been circling my wagon on extended warranty and service plan for the past week! Price keeps dropping $1k every other day :ROFLMAO: Everyone’s been great so far.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    My original thought was this has to be related to the shocks/AVS/valving. If they went stiffer on the OT in anticipation of overland use they might have over done it on initial 1” of travel.

    What I can’t stand about my GX

    I grew up in Glendale. This explains your horrendous mpg’s… “starting your car 5 minutes early to let it cool down, and if you're parked and waiting for something like the kids to get out of school, you have to have the engine running with AC blasting or you'll roast to death”

    Trade in LC for GX 550 OT?

    Drove both and decided to go GX. Engine being the biggest factor. Doubt you’d loose much on resale.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Until someone like you gets together with someone experiencing it, it’ll remain a mystery. Service Techs have both denied and agreed there’s an issue with owners having it. Could be about perception in the end.

    I was the one who posted that pic and it was clipped from a video of the Tundra brake rotor TSB. The gold dot indicates “updated part” and is located on the horizontal flat area between the disc and hub. See pic.

    Current GX 550 owners - questions....

    You’re miles ahead if you can pay cash. I sell my vehicles rather than trade and have always done better than trade in value + tax savings by a few grand. I also keep impeccable service records and pamper my vehicles. In the past negotiating price while offering to finance (then pay it off the...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Hadn't thought of that but mounts would be lower on my list of failure/defect parts. Certainly lower than AVS or something in the rotating assembly.
