    GX460 Highest Mileage

    I'd love to hit half a million miles on my GX someday, but it's going to take a very very long time.

    New Grille for the LX470

    Sorry I should've specified that the grill I bought was for a GX and not LX. I emailed about the package same day it arrived and four days later no response yet. I know response time can be a little slower in this type of industry so I'm trying to be patient and give them the benefit of the...

    New Grille for the LX470

    I bought one and it arrived damaged out of the box. I've read from others that they've experienced similar. I emailed them a few days ago and no response yet. Hopefully they help sort it out soon.

    KDSS Manual Switch

    Is there a DIY version of this? It seems somewhat straight forward and $130 for a harness is pricey.

    Bigger tires any issues I should be aware of?

    I have a 265/70/17 spare tire on an FJ Cruiser rim that fits with the IV hitch. The tire is a street tire without chunky tread, a tire with taller treads or a wider rim may not fit as well.

    Bigger tires any issues I should be aware of?

    The wheels and tires should fit fine but you may need to to heat gun some of the liner back if there’s a little rubbing. A lot of GX’s running that tire size and I’ve never heard of transmission issues due to that. Running that tire size my speedo was almost right on compared to my phone app and...

    Full-Time Hauling with GX460

    I tow a race car a few times a year. It's a heavier load so I went with E range tires. I also use a Fastway E2 weight distribution hitch with sway control and I've been very happy with it. It makes towing so much more stable and they have great customer service if you have any questions. I also...

    Idiot YouTuber on costs of high mileage GX ownership

    I had my throttle body go out on my 2010 too. Of course it first acted up in the most inconvenient place: in the middle of the White Rim trail. It went into limp mode but I cleared the code and it was fine the rest of the trip and for days after, so I thought maybe it was a fluke. A couple weeks...

    Re badge Lexus GX460 to Toyota

    I've done the same on my 2010 for a few reasons. First, I work in the public sector and there are some petty coworkers who are very sensitive about who's getting paid what kind of salary. If I pulled up in a Lexus then I'd have a big target on my back. Once we considered a PT Cruiser for a...

    Idiot Youtuber takes a stock GX down Broken Arrow

    Yep I was able to watch it all, good timing I suppose. My wife and two kids miss the side steps because it was easier for getting in and out of, but the sliders stick out enough that it creates a small step (albeit higher up than stock side steps) for them.

    GX460 Bike Rack Options

    I went with a Kuat NV. Very easy to use and functional on a GX. It starts to stick out far once you get four bike holders so I 've been considering Velocirax next. It's a vertical holder with up to a seven bike capacity. I would've bought one by now by I don't like the red color as the only...
