Some good advice up there from @Thed351W . The oil maint light in my GX goes off every 5K and that's when I change it. Definitely do the tranny AT LEAST every 100K. I just had it done and it was only $250. Drain and fill is not the same as a flush with the machine that monitors pressure and uses...
Interesting that they include a spark plug puller in such a paltry selection of tools. I guess that's in case of water ingress? As in to pull them after a submersion. I thought I saw the 24/7 4WD guys pull the plugs on when one of their petrol trucks got swamped in water a crossing. I think they...
I forgot all about this thread. Now I rock a full set of 1/2" sockets and an impact, full set of pliers and vice grips, ratcheting spanners, deadblow... essentially everything you need to change a CV axle on the trail or anything short of that.
Considering my pathetic wrenching skills.... I...
The OEM bottle jack in my 460 is leaking. I had to get a 2x4 to get my flat 32" tire off in a parking lot the other day. I think it's time for an upgrade. I'd love something with more lift since I have a small lift and slightly oversized tires.
Anyone replaced their factory jack with something...
Sorry, I'm catching this late. Yeah, GX isn't tough, the biggest thing to deal with is the KDSS brackets which are a pain. I need to install my ironman UCA's and new LCA's soon and I plan on dropping the skids and maybe removing the bar entirely. I love the ironman set-up. I'm sure others are...
Well s***. Guess Ive been driving up there for the free coffee and snacks : ) But it looks like the additional 14% off ends Thursday.
club lex post looks pretty deep. Looks like the same app I used but I didn’t set up anything in advance so that’s probably the issue. Appreciate the detail as...
They do this several times a year. It's probably related to a presidents day promo Toyota is doing so may go through the week. These sites are actually run by corporate and the dealer just agrees to fulfill I think. Some allow additional discounts, some don't. Bell has been pretty aggressive...
Actually Bell has that same part for $299+ an additional 14% off and free shipping if you use the code I listed. The shipping helps a lot on larger parts. They all list a 30ish percent discount, this was an addition.
My issues were all with power. Felt plenty stable. Brakes worked great. Just struggled on the uphill, which was the whole journey. I bet they’re not bad tow vehicles east of the rockies. But Im changing 5-6k elevation in the first 100 miles from my house so it was kind of a drag.
parts.belllexusnorthscottsdale.com has 14% off plus free shipping right now. Their prices are close to wholesale already. Oil filters are like $3. Lower control arms about $225 delivered. Thats almost as cheap as aftermarket.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Sorry they're coming slow these days, kids are getting older and super active at the moment.
@r2m Yeah, my buddy says Alibaba is the way to go for off-road trailers. I would want a slide out kitchen as a must though. Still using the handheld, just not enough...
We’re dragging three tons of fun from Phoenix up to Sedona as we test out the towing capabilities of the GX 460. We’ll cover brake controllers, towing MPG, GX460 towing capacity and more. Hook up your safety chains, it’s time to try out trailer camping as we learn all about towing with a Lexus...
Actually just found this windshield add on moulding - https://amzn.to/3NCnk4r
Should work perfect, heat build up might be a bit of an issue but Im using 12awg for 4 led pods so works for my application.
How have you guys routed the wires for your roof rack electrical accessories? I'm getting ready to build harnesses for camp lights around the corners of my rack and I'd really rather not route through the cab and spit out the back only to extend the run all the way to the front of the cab again...
