    This is probably going to be very unliked, but this is just like my opinion man. This is my issue with the LC250

    The actual problem is that no matter how much the 1st world reduces its emissions and/or consumption, the rest of the world continues to increase theirs and does not care. The US could reduces its emissions to 0 and it won't change anything because China and India will not. Reducing emissions...

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    I think its not an Overtrail because the OT gets the silver skidplate up front. If that is really just a 2 inch lift on a non-OT and big tires, the aftermarket is going to go crazy on these and it's going to be awesome.

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    In my experience, if you just floor it and hope ATRAC sorts it out, ATRAC will often sort it out quite well. But if ATRAC can't sort it out, it will eventually just kill all power and you end up sliding backwards down an icy hairpin turn where you are thankful you stay in the ruts multiple times...

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    When you have a setup like that, there is a speed at which a standard speed bump is unable to perform its intended function and it is amusing. You hit a speed bump going like 12 miles an hour and it feels like you drove over a speed bump too fast. You hit the same speed bump at 25 and it feels...

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    I would avoid any of the digressive valved shocks in that case. I would look at the Dobinsons twin tube nitro kits if your main concern is ride comfort and you don't want to spend big money on an adjustable remote res setup. I just helped a friend install a 2 inch Dobinsons twin tube kit on his...

    Slee Bumper?

    Should work since it's a straight cut across the bumper, but the 2014+ grille will extend all the way to the Slee bumper

    GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    Do live somewhere with any cobblestone streets nearby? That's probably the easiest way to feel the difference between KDSS on and KDSS off - we have a bunch of cobblestones in Richmond and with the KDSS in normal mode there is a fair bit of chatter driving on them in the 25-35mph range. It is...

    Do GX 460's have transmission problems? Should I run away?

    I think the core issue is that Toyota/Lexus service states that the GX has "lifetime" transmission fluid and its true that if you never replace your AT fluid, it will last "the life" of the transmission... The secondary issue is that the GX460 transmissions tend to run on the warm side no matter...

    Builds Roody’s 2018 Lexus GX460 Build, Adventure, and Off the Road Again Podcast

    I've always hated the Dave Ramsey-style "pay cash for everything because only idiots use financing" financial advice however I also realize that a good portion of the population simply can't be trusted to not immediately use consumer credit to get, and remain, up to their eyeballs in debt their...

    460-Add Crawl Control (CC) and Multi Terrain Select (MTS) to 2010-2019 models/all trims

    No issues if you don't do the ZPC right away. You just won't have CC or Downhill Assist until you do the calibration.

    Gonna start one upping the "not a real Land Cruiser" people by yelling at everyone with an LC250 that it's not a real Prado.

    GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    At the rear. I had trimmed a bunch of plastic off at the base of the sideskirt/rear fender to stop rubbing with my previous 265/70/17s. With the 285s, I haven't had to trim anything else, but it looks like I may need to ziptie the rear of the fender liner back. I had warmed it up with a heat gun...

    GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    ^I have +10 AlphaEquipt wheels with 285/70/17 and only had to trim/smush plastic to clear my Mickey Thompsons. It looks like it will clear the body mount when wheels are fully stuffed and turned but will find out for sure on my next off road trip.

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    Finally got around to replacing my recalled Ironman control arms that have been sitting in my garage since the end of November. The driver's side ball joint on the original set started clicking a couple weeks ago and was definitely shot. I feel like people of the internet make swapping UCAs out...

    Starting build 18 GX advice

    Budbuilt skids have load bearing hatches on the front and engine skids so you can get to drain plug and filter without pulling whole plates off. They are one of the few companies that does a dedicated GX460 plate set and they work great. I think RCI and many others use the same skids for the GX...

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    I've been digging into this hairbrained scheme further and it looks I can just get the right sized splitter for dual high beams, and then wire the switch/relay for the light pods to the splitter while the pods themselves are wired normally. So when I turn the switch on, then the pods will come...

    Thinking about starting a thread arguing about water-cooled engines diluting the brand because we are reaching Rennlist levels of pettiness and shenanigans over here arguining about what a "real" land cruiser is

    I'm just going to start screaming "It's not a real Land Cruiser" at any one I see driving any Toyota. I think that's the only way Toyota finally realizes there is a market for the 70 series.

    It's almost as though the Land Cruiser 250 is specific to the US car market and not anywhere else for a reason
