can you feel anything or just hear it?

That pic of your vehicles in the snow really highlights the major difference in approach angle between the GX and 4R.

I applaud you, r2m, for taking the time to answer! Ben, check out start [GX Offroad] - https://lexusgxor.com/ and the GXOR Facebook group. You can spend days researching both. Tons of great info.

Short answer: 265/70 is widely recommended at stock height, but do some research here start [GX Offroad] - https://lexusgxor.com/ or better yet, the GXOR Facebook group.

yeah, feel the heat coming off the wheels, if that one is much warmer, that’s your answer.

wow, that’s an incredible shot.

A few easy and free suggestions in the meantime: check wheel lugs for proper tq (83lbft), check that the strut top nuts, lower strut bolts going into the LCA, and UCA bolts/nuts are nice and tight.

We should be getting close to 2 feet over night here in northwestern CT.

Thanks for your feedback. I need to get new bulbs yesterday. I upgraded to my ‘12 GX from a 96 4Runner - having better light output was high on the list of improvements I was looking forward to. Imagine my dismay when I drove the halogen equipped GX at night for the first time. The lights in...

Great point. I’ll be using Fluid Film and CRC Marine Corrosion Inhibitor in spray can form as I don't own a compressor yet. Going to do a real world experiment of my own to see if one does any better than the other. I’ll update you guys in the Spring.

Another positive for DIY besides saving money, YOU will take the best care of your vehicle and won’t cut corners to save time.

saw that Project Farm video a while back. Have a few cans of FF and the CRC product that I will be using soon. My previous truck was a 3rd gen Runner. I did nothing but wash the undercarriage several times during winter and I did not experience much corrosion in the 3 winters it saw. being my...
