Oh, I'm aware of that. Some of the places my buddies go to are a bit much for a stock GX, but I know there's a lot I can still do as is.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one haha! And thanks for the helpful info. I'm still looking for a cheap economy car to daily drive before I begin upgrading the GX, so I have some time to do my research and (hopefully) pick the right parts for the job. During my quest for the...

Wheels, tires and lift kit are definitely first on my list. Rock sliders shortly after that. Definitely gotta get all my recovery gear after that. I'm still trying to figure out the bumper/skid plate situation. Weighing out my options. Thanks for the info though. It's much appreciated!

Same here. The center vent pieces are the most annoying. Broke a few of the clips and after all that it still didn't come out great. Gonna have to pull them out again and redo them.

Looks great! Love the wheels. I just vinyl wrapped the woodgrain in my car too. I'm pretty sure I got the same high gloss carbon fiber pattern you have. I have to re-wrap some parts that didn't turn out too good. Once I'm done I'll put up some pictures. How did you apply the vinyl on the shift...

Thanks for the reply! $10k was just a ballpark amount I threw out there. I was expecting to definitely spend more than that. I'm trying to get a more economic car for daily driving, so once I do that, I'll begin upgrading the GX and it'll go from being my daily driver to strictly being a...

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow! That was extremely informative. Thank you for that. I'm going to start looking into the different options to see what the differences are and what I need/don't need for my application.

Thanks! I'm gonna keep the tires at 33" max. Again, the metal front bumper is a big maybe. I MIGHT do it if I damage the original bumper badly. Any specific reason for the slider kickouts in the back?

Thanks for the reply. My car does NOT have KDSS. I'll only get a metal front/rear bumper in the event that I damage mine. I don't want to add extra weight unnecessarily. Wow, only 5k? I don't know what suspension brands to look into. I'm familiar with Eibach from my days driving sports cars...

I don't really have a budget in mind. I figured I'd be spending AT LEAST 10k on upgrades, and plan to slowly build the car one or two upgrades at a time. Any advice on where to start would be great.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. I'm not looking to do anything TOO crazy. Definitely a 1.5-2 inch lift with off-roading wheels and tires. Skid plates and rock sliders to protect everything underneath. Maybe a roof rack and an awning. MAYBE a metal front and rear bumper guard. Other than that...

Hey everyone, I just bought my very first GX470 and plan to slowly turn it into an off-road/camping vehicle. I bought a Silver 2008 model with gray interior and the red(ish) wood trim. I'm told that combo was pretty rare? I bought it off a Lexus master mechanic who had maintained the car...
