South Florida. Used to live in the Midwest though, so I feel your pain.
What did you do in your GX today?
- Thread starter A10MileHusker
- Start date
Snow? In Arizona?
Installed Sherpa Atlas rack and 1ā wheel spacers.

Lets go! I still remember that feeling when that text message surprised me.
What brand spacers did you go with? That looks pretty good and probably puts the wheels flush with the fenders if they are around 1- 1.25 inches in thickness.
Beautiful shot - that's straight out of a brochure!
Awesome vehicle!
Very nice!
Congrats! Are you keeping the roof rack or has the wind noise already gotten to you?
Only have 19 miles on the odo, all city so have not experienced the noise. I did noticed how noisy the side mirrors are! 
But to answer your question, probably not. Going to go with a different rack.

Finally, it was warm enough today in the PNW to install the emblem overlay on my Luxury I had ordered from Upturn Prints a while ago. It was not too difficult to install if you follow the instructions. Love the result! Pics below:

Looks fantastic!
Still nursing my wife post surgery but did have time to install my Canvasback cargo mat...
They are 1ā spacers: Toyota/Lexus 1 in. Thick Gray Wheel Spacers
Beauty! How's the wind noise with the Sherpa rack?
I donāt have a good way to give you a quantitative answer. These things are so subjective. In short, at hwy speeds, I can tell itās there, but the noise is minimal enough that the added benefits (and looks) of the rack far outweigh the minor wind noise. The wescott design does seem lower profile and I could potentially see it being quieter, but since I havenāt ridden in a GX with one installed, I canāt really compare.
Personally I wouldnāt go wescott, because if a rack install requires silicone sealant in the install, Iām out. The Sherpa rack uses rubber blocks to seal the bolts and has a 4th āpusherā mount torward the front of the rack to help stabilize the front. It costs more, but IMO is better engineered. Iāve had 3 total Sherpa racks (4runner, FJ80 and now GX) and they have all been great.

very nice!
I did matte on matte, and think it's a little too dull. Looks...'off' somehow. The chrome looked off to me too, and think matte/matte is still an upgrade, but might just repeat the process and do this gloss/matte
