I used Blauparts GX460 "kit" for diffs and 75W TC, at ~60k. Best of all it was easy to source. And not ridiculously priced. https://www.blauparts.com/lexus-gx460-transfer-case-differential-fluid-change-kit.html

The adaptive cruise control is fine, as you said, it is 1st gen. I usually set it to the least sensitive setting. It can easily be turned off, but you have to do it every time you activate the system from off to on. I would say 90% of the time on a road trip, I turn off the adaptive cruise and...

Just a quick picture was very helpful to determine where to look for the open connection. Thank you all Here it is in case this is helpful to someone in the future:

I just bought a jug of windshield wiper fluid to fill up with since the dash was saying I was low. I filled about a quarter of the jug, stopped and saw there were no leaks so I continue to fill the rest of the jug... until I noticed my garage flooded with blue! I peaked underneath and I see...

I just used Blauparts "kit" for diffs and TC, at ~60k. Best of all it was easy to source. (And seems similar price to Febi per L) https://www.blauparts.com/lexus-gx460-transfer-case-differential-fluid-change-kit.html Anyone else consider using Blauparts products? especially for TC?

I strongly suggest the Beat Sonic option. I reviewed it here. It's been over a year and I've experienced a glitch maybe 5 times (over approximately 17k miles, daily driver) all solved by unplugging phone and plugging back into USB in seconds. Honestly, I don't think about the unit because it...

Lexus GX 18" x 7.5" +25 offset wheels, 139.7mm Bolt Pattern, 6 lugs - set of 5 available for purchase $500. I am upgrading my wheel/tire combo for off pavement use and no longer need these wheels. This set has no significant defects, have been trouble free, and have no known issues. These are...

Sorry I check CL forums rarely compared to mud. Just read your write-up and agree as well. Good to hear that other people enjoy this product too!

In my search to make my daily-driver even more enjoyable to operate, I needed a better tech option. I have had AA/CP in a previous vehicle and loved the ease of use. I wanted the simplest solution and therefore didn't love the Grom VLine choice. Grom seems to have a few quirks/glitches in...

Interested to hear what people suggest re: brakes... The at-a-stop brake pressure required does seem more than other trucks

What brand sound deadening did you use? I'm leaning against using a peel and stick like noico. Are you happy with the results (sound) since install? BTW, the drawers look like a great fit

Precisely

Very helpful perspective. Makes me less likely to take the dive until more bugs worked out to use Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Not interested in the rest. Very telling that you've had it for only a short time those consistent glitches. Sounds like my phone mount + Bluetooth + Android Auto will...

Looking forward to hearing your feedback on the Grom VLine... still debating if it's worth the hiccups that others report

I don't have personal experience with it, but have you considered the JW offroad option?: https://www.jwoffroad.com/collections/project-gx460/products/project-gx-spare-tire-carrier-3-5-gx460-centered It's minimal weight, takes up the least space and still allows window to open. Downside is...
