I can see the JAOS bumper
GX550 First mod?
- Thread starter supersix
- Start date
Weird, I thought something that modifies the vehicle would be considered a "mod".
Here’s a question.
If someone has ppf on their vehicle would you consider it modified?
Asking the big philosophical questions here
Needs a steel rear bumper with swing carrier for the spare tire then add a 25-30 gallon secondary long range fuel tank for my white OT due to leave port from Japan on May 29th.
What if the PPF is so clear and installed so well that it's undetectable? Does that mean it exists if you can't tell it's there?
What if the PPF is installed from Factory?
I have had that on high exposure parts on a few cars.
Anything that alters a vehicle from its original stock form is a modification. Tints, wraps, subwoofers... etc.
Yeah, not as extreme as 37"s and cutting the roof off... but still a "mod".

If it's not aftermarket, then no, not a mod. It's an option from the manufacturer. I'd call it bone-stock with a good option!Hmm, then do factory-installed rock rails count as a mod?
100%
If it’snot marked with a TOYOTA/ LEXUS it’s aftermarket ,only because it’s sanction byToyota/ Le us oem .doesn’t mean bone -stock good option I had to Oder my accessories even though Lexus shows it as accessories they can’t Oder some of the things
I am going to install an oil seperator first. I have contacted J&L to see if this Tundra seperator will fit on

You feel it would be of benefit, in addition to the Toyota D-4S system on the vehicle? Would it possibly become an issue if a warranty issue developed regarding the engine?I am going to install an oil seperator first. I have contacted J&L to see if this Tundra seperator will fit on

I run the same setup on a twin turbo system on my Explorer ST and it catches a lot of oil that would end up messing with the intake. I usually get about 1 oz of oil for every 2k miles. I really don't worry about the warranty as it is des not stop the blowby pressure from getting into the intake, just the oil that would cause issues. Benefits below.
- Carbon Buildup Prevention: Oil catch cans intercept and collect oil vapor and contaminants before entering the engine's intake system. This prevents the buildup of carbon deposits on intake valves, which can hinder airflow, reduce power and negatively affect combustion efficiency. Oil catch cans help maintain optimal engine performance by keeping the intake system clean.
- Improved Airflow: The presence of oil vapor and contaminants in the intake system can disrupt the airflow and air-to-fuel ratio, leading to less efficient combustion. With an oil catch can in place, the intake system stays cleaner, ensuring consistent and smooth airflow for better combustion and improved throttle response.
- Enhanced Performance: Oil catch cans can increase horsepower and torque output by reducing carbon buildup and maintaining proper airflow. The engine can breathe more freely and efficiently, resulting in a more responsive and powerful driving experience.
- Reduced Engine Knock: Oil buildup in the intake system can lead to pre-ignition or engine knock, which can cause damage to the engine over time. Oil catch cans help mitigate this risk by preventing oil vapor from contaminating the intake air and causing irregular combustion.
- Extended Engine Lifespan: With fewer contaminants entering the engine, critical components such as valves, piston rings, and spark plugs are subject to less wear and tear. This can contribute to a longer engine lifespan and reduced maintenance costs over time.
I heard back from J&L and they haven't done an installation on a GX550 yet. I watched the Tundra install video and it is pretty straight forward. Will get one and put it on our GX when we get it.
