Same. I wish Lenz Design didn't have such a bad rep because they look the coolest which is the most important thing.

11.5. Its going to need a few things but my family should be able to fully utilize it as it will save miles on the GX initially and then after some work, both cars.

Yeah, our brakes are too big for 16"er's.

No need to list, I’m a fan of all sidewall possible. FJ is on 255/85r16s. Even went with the silly “small rotor” 6pot Stoptech kit to retain those 16s. I did ask SOS if the same kit would work on the GX (16s would be great) but they said no….

17" 4Runner take offs and 255/80 17 pizza cutters for the win

You can get 255/85R17s. I am running 285/75R17s and love them.

Those tires may be fine now, but I'd suggest staying away from any mud and snow in a few months! ;)

Hey Clint, regarding you "Thumbs up" to my post, this includes you to, buddy! If you ever make it down here in the Winter.

I just posted on Guide to GX 460 Builds and Aftermarket Products requesting for TX GX460 to add the NYTOP link to the Aftermarket Products page. Also, have you looked at that sticky post yet? A lot of good options there. Regarding these tires...

TX GX460, can you post this product website also? It's got some good stuff including receiver hitch for both rear AND front hitches! https://nytop.com/lexus-gx460-accessories

Thanks for the update and keeping MUD alive, Woody! 👏

I bought a beater honda civic that was over maintained and low miles. So the GX will no longer be used for regular commutes. The amount it saves me in gas and insurance will more than cover the cost. Its a stick shift, too! So I can row my...

I absolutely agree with your assessment of adding skids, but also rock sliders and maybe even trim up the front and rear bumpers a wee bit to increase approach and departure angles, of which is the bane of GX's, compared to their cousins the...

Thank you! Probably nothing of real substance for a bit. Id like to level it. Skid plates just in case I get the itch to back road it. Tires would be next important, but they just put 5 new Michelins on her. Theres some other trinkets and...

Still want to tag you for a club Death Valley trip one of these days. Some of the members know so much about the area and all the odd little sites to see.

That was back in late March. Highs were about 85. Not terrible, but would not have wanted to wait another week or two.

Recent Death valley run.

You may try bead blasting/sand blasting with a very fine grit, but I think that may chew up the plastic also. I HATE sanding, so I'm trying anything at all to help keep you from sanding that grill. Most all my projects go unpainted, just because...

It is indeed a little rough textured. I don't think it would do well to paint over. Perhaps I could sand it, apply an adhesion promoter and raptor line it? Otherwise I doubt I could find that chrome trim in dealer stock anywhere. Funny...

Gross.

Congrats! :cheers: And welcome to the forum. Very clean looking! Your FJC has a few mods, anything planned for the GX or it going to be a "princess"👸? The angle and brightness doesn't really capture the beauty of that Nori green.

Hi new friends! - Snagged a 2022 Nori Blackline Been on Mud a while with the FJC....still have it too, for the time being. Poor girl is kicked outside though

Saw another bear while at Stumpy Meadows Reservoir. That’s 2 this year. At this rate I might get Bigfoot.
