Yes and yes! I can safely say the kids looked up from their movie.

For your amusement... A 5 gallon bucket (think, Home Depot style, but black) flew out of a trailered fishing boat in front of me going 70 on the freeway. I had my family in the car and was boxed in the lane, so rather than slamming on the brakes and risking getting rear-ended, I put my faith in...

Got out to the north woods of MN last weekend for some light wheeling and camping. Thought I'd share the views!

Very glad to hear that! Maybe I got a batch made on a Friday afternoon. Hopefully the majority of experiences align with yours.

Curious, what size Wildpeak AT4Ws were you running? I had a set of 265/65r18 AT4Ws for about 6 months that could never balance properly ... 4 different attempts from 2 separate (good) shops. I eventually had them taken back by Discount Tire under warranty and switched to BFG K03s. Its...

Super late on this, but - love seeing the MN plate in Moab! Well done. Also great to read the discussion on the north woods. Superior National Forest is one of my favorite places on earth.

Posting to share my tire experience and some pics from a late April camping trip... After 6 months, 4 balancing attempts at 2 different shops, a new set of wheels, and an alignment check, I could not get the Wildpeak AT4w to balance properly (steering wheel shimmy above 60 mph). Discount Tire...

I use the Course magsafe mount: Direct Fit Phone Mount for Lexus GX460 - https://coursemotorsports.com/products/direct-fit-phone-mount-lexus-gx460?srsltid=AfmBOorAmVkNe18AWVJRhL3O4YPnALkK2APTaNJu6EIHAL8LykXN5bWm Similar to the Offroam already mentioned here but on the other side of the nav...

Closer to the latter ... My dad, brother, and I went in on a "car condo" as a place to store and work on our various project cars. The gas station is at the center of our complex and acts as a clubhouse/meeting space. The pumps are just for show so I only use it as a photo spot. :)

Thanks for the welcome! Front recovery points are NYTOP (NYTOP | 2014-2023 Lexus GX460 Front Recovery Points - https://nytop.com/shop-product/2014-2023-lexus-gx460-front-recovery-points). They aren't perfect but good enough to recommend, if you want something that integrates well with OEM...

I've been doing a lot of lurking and reading (but very little posting) since buying a GX a couple months ago. This forum has been very helpful and I suspect I'll end up interacting/contributing over time, so I figured I'd offer up the obligatory intro post. Very happy to be here. My GX will...

Thanks! Great to have more data. I missed your earlier post in this thread. @BigSwede I think you hit the nail on the head ... With this being a daily driver, I am worried about all the salt on our MN roads. I've got a little more time before swapping up to 32s, so I may take you up on the...

Resurrecting this one with the hopes that @Littlehouse and @BigSwede can provide an update on reliability/durability of the JW carrier since their last posts. (Hopefully you've both been able to do some wheeling this summer!) Any rust developing on the carrier or metal fatigue on the door? I...
