    NYTOP Hybrid Bumper - anyone have it?

    I have had a winch on a few trucks and my experience is similar, its the omg help thing, that almost never gets used. Probably makes more sense to get one that goes into a trailer hitch and throw it in the back when you are off road. Do any of these offer a trailer hitch on the front bumper?

    NYTOP Hybrid Bumper - anyone have it?

    No place for a winch in the front bumper, right?

    I had the same looking front bumper on my old Land Cruiser. Deer and moose help. I didn’t have the side bar part. Pretty excited to see if it will work in the Lexus.

    Aftermarket Rock Sliders With Step

    I don’t really like the look of the Victory and no one seems to know anything about NYtop, so I am waiting. Dissent off-road is supposed to be going out soon. Probably more soon.

    Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio sounds terrible on the GX 550 Luxury +

    I eliminated the fake noice with a plug in adapter and iPhone app. No idea if it affected the sound of the stereo

    Perhaps yours is bad. There isn’t a recall on the amps your service guy lied to you.

    Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio sounds terrible on the GX 550 Luxury +

    Think it sounds really good. Coming from a jeep with a McIntosh system and a super duty with the high end B&O system. Doesn’t get as loud as the B&O but sounds better. I think sound is so subjective and a few people complain and it becomes a thing. But everyone’s taste is different

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I didn't have an issue, put on bigger tires and noticed a vibration similar to what others have said. Got the tires ballanced and it went away. That doesn't mean it isn't an issue, just that it isn't an issue with mine or for me. But my brakes do squeal so I am getting that fixed, hopefully...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Just remember to take this all with a grain of salt. Maybe the brakes fix it, maybe they don't, maybe a few vehicles are messed up, maybe a few people are sensitive. Maybe you need to get your tires road force ballanced. Maybe there is a problem on them all. I have seen one person who maybe...

    Let us know your thoughts once it comes in. While I would love to get set up, I am still Leary about spending a bunch on a safety product from unknown vendors.

    Guess on hybrid availability?

    18 vs 22, with a 4 gallon smaller tank. Woohoo

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I have the squealing brakes not the vibration in the overtrail, so who knows.

    Guess on hybrid availability?

    Thats what I read on the hybrid. Real world driving MPG was pretty low compared to what was being published.

    Guess on hybrid availability?

    17 GALLON Tank on the hybrid vs 21 on the gas. Ends up not being much difference in distance you can travel.

    New GX550 owner with some suspension issues

    Check tire pressure and tire balance first. Also one poster had breaks done because of squealing in reverse and said that corrected issue. No one else has tied the two together yet but Lexus just came out with the break fix a week or two ago, and I am not sure if the parts are readily...

    I am tempted but I still worry a bit about these companies I have never heard of. I wish arb would come out with one.

    Changed oil at 1200 miles

    Toyota says change it at 10k. Anecdotal at best advice on why to do it more frequently. Lots of studies that show frequent oil changes are a complete waste of time and money not to mention creating a disposal issue. Plus there isn’t one reason I can think of why a dealer would tell a customer...

    Westcott Leveling Kit and 35s

    It depends on what you want. Rock crawling is different than going over a washout and a big rock on a logging road. Serious off roaders need the travel. For what I do, driving down miles of dirt roads, with occasional obstacles probably the additional ground clearance is more important. But I...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Overtrails are different than the other models, so the assumption is one of the components specific to the overtrail is causing the issue. We are off on the brakes again, but it could still be something with the overtrail suspension that is causing it.
