    Seconding the innovation on the tissue dispenser mod - pretty slick.

    Inno Fishing rod rack

    Nice! Thanks for the pic too. Definitely liking this option.

    Highway wind noise

    Bet it’s the mirrors. Open the window and put your hand in front of the bottom of the round post the mirror sits and rotates on. I get a whistle from there. I’m trying to think of something I could put there to test ways to stop the whistling.

    Inno Fishing rod rack

    Is that a single piece rod? I have a 6’6” single piece fenwick that I need a good way to travel with. It fits between the windows and seats on passenger side but blocks the doors.

    OT+ electric motor or pump running while vehicle is off

    Super helpful, thanks for the details. This is the first car I have owned with such a system and haven't gotten to that part of the manual yet I guess ;). Appreciate the info. Next time I'll just crack a beer and see how long it runs for just out of curiosity.

    Nice thanks for the details. This is my first Lexus and wasn't sure if they did OTA.

    🧑‍💻 GX550 Tech Tips and Tricks

    Will the GX be getting OTA updates to the operating system? I've been curious if we can expect updates to flow without going to the dealer, where they may patch some bugs or improvements (or even new features).

    OT+ electric motor or pump running while vehicle is off

    Two different times I walked into my garage at night to hear a pretty loud electric pump/motor type sound. The first time I was so confused where it could be coming from, not thinking my GX since it was obviously off, but then realized its coming from under the GX. Seems to be coming from a...

    Tachometer in Heads-Up Display

    Will try again on my way home, thank you both!

    Tachometer in Heads-Up Display

    I have been wishing there was a way to get the HUD to show that tach. Followed these steps (thank you by the way) but unfortunately it’s not working for me. HUD on Full, cruise control switched to regular cruise, and lane keep assist setting to off. No tach. I wonder if there is some other...

    GX550 Luxury + at the dealer for a new transmission (5k miles)

    Will be very interested to hear if the new tranny changes that rough downshift. Keep us posted!

    Drive mode not engaging

    I have the same gripe about the downshift to 1st at an awkward time when coming to a stop. I've been reading about the direct shift transmission and seems it might be a symptom of how it works... I am the type that likes to feather the brake when coming to a stop and aim to make it stop as...

    Paint is a Dirt Magnet

    My Nori green is staying clean and I keep it parked out in an open lot at the train station three days a week. I put a coat of collinite wax on the day I brought it home, and it stays relatively clean. I did pick a California duster to give it a quick swipe when it seems dusty to minimize the...

    Known GX550 issues in process on my GX550 OT+

    The whistle the mirror makes is definitely annoying. I have been playing around with placing my hand in various spots on the mirror to nail down where the whistle is originating from...I think it's from where it pivots on its base to allow folding in. Those two pieces should overlap instead of...

    Sun roof vibrates

    Looking at the profile of the rubber strip, either way you position it, it still directs air into the rectangle portion, and it was already positioned so that the slope part was facing forward. But there really isn't a way it would have made sense. It's very very silly and seems like an...

    Sun roof vibrates

    Reporting back…. I’m pretty convinced the vibration sound is from wind vibrating against the roof from the cross bars. I installed the Rhino Vortex strips but at the same time I noticed the cross bars have that weird rubber strip on the bottom similar to what folks are pulling off of their OEM...

    🛠️ Member Build Eddie's 2024 OverTrail

    Following for the Window Visor deets when their ready... I like to crack my windows but not a fan of the whistling (although I am impressed there isn't much buffeting in the 550). I am not a fan of the type that use sticky tape and am on the hunt for these for my 550. You've got some killer...

    Sun roof vibrates

    It’s seems the vibration I am hearing is coming from the moonroof area on my OT+ though it doesn’t change much when I push on the glass while it’s happening. It does stop however when I open the moonroof. With the moonroof open and trying to recreate the sound I can hear the wind noise...

    All weather cargo mats

    Do you have a photo of this installed? Is it Gray or Black? I would like something like this to make the seat backs easier to clean and to avoid getting dirt in the carpet-y backing they come with that everything seems to stick/get embedded into...but not sure I would like the look if it is...

    Sun roof vibrates

    This thread has me very excited to get back into my GX after work and check if the sunroof on my OT+ is where my faint buzzing sound is coming from. I haven't bothered bringing mine into the dealer yet for a diagnosis because it's very minor albeit annoying. The sound I am hearing sounds VERY...

    🏆 GXOTM September 2024 - Lexus GX of the Month starts now!

    How do you get the RPM's to show on the HUD???

    Atomic OT - Home at last!

    Lexus really nailed the paint colors for the GX. There really isn't a bad option. That's a pretty awesome color/tone shift in the photos above. A Chameleon she is.

    Modification and accessory advice

    They require the front plate in NJ but I have seen more and more folks with jersey plates running without it over the last couple years that I haven't put mine on yet because it looks so much cleaner without it. I do have a nagging fear though that I am going to attract unwanted attention and...

    What I can’t stand about my GX - Part Deux

    Seconding this. I was prepared going in that I might only benefit from the HUD at night since I am not willing to give up my polarized Smith shades, but I have found having the brightness on the HUD turned up all the way, I can see well enough that is useful and not annoying either. Was...

    Paint Chips

    I've fully detailed the paint on my OT+ twice now in 500 miles (day one I put a coat of collinite 454 on it, and two weeks later I applied collinites ceramic/graphene beadcoat), going over the paint with a fine tooth comb each time, and I can say it's the best paint job on any vehicle I have...

    OT Roof Rack

    I wonder how it would sound with that strip still in place but someone slicing off that bottom lip on it. It seems like that lip might be the cause of some noise. If its just rubber, a good sharp knife should be able to slice that bottom lip cleanly off.

    Head-Up Display - Is it a must add?

    I’m a fan. First car with it and I really appreciate it. I especially like that the road speed signal changes color when you’re over the speed limit. Also, I wear polarized sunglasses and when it’s on full brightness I can see well enough which I was worried was going to be a let down...
