    Has anyone installed the aFe Power exhaust and cold air intake?

    I ran the AFE intake on my 2016 GX460 for about 6 months and then went back to the stock air intake system. Horrible drone at certain throttle/load conditions for no discernible change in performance.

    Idiot YouTubber Tows Giant Trailer with a GX

    I echo all the sentiments about the GX towing - it *will* do it, but not with any authority. It is heavy enough that it never feels twitchy, but somewhat underpowered for real towing. I pulled one of those "Aussie off road trailers" (weighing ~4200 loaded) from Dallas TX to SLC UT and back -...

    I built it to drive, but my history with vehicles suggests that I’ll get bored with it and want something different in 3 or 4 years so we’ll see. And yes, that motor is an absolute beast.

    And thanks for the compliment. It is further evidence of my disease. :rofl:

    For the sake of keeping this a GX forum... here's a link to the Mustang build. :steer: https://www.vintage-mustang.com/threads/1968-coupe-restomod.1180090/

    I’m not sure who/when updated it. I checked the file status as the tune instructions stated and it matched so I went on with the tune file install. YotaWerx sends an up to date stock file with the tune files so I assume would have been just as easy to flash that as it was to flash their tune file.

    It already had the latest stock file.

    Perspective, I suppose... since this is my other car, I feel like it is still pretty slow. :)

    For sure it is still not fast!

    It definitely changed as I drove it - I could feel the difference right away, but subtle. I'm on the 3rd tank since I put the tune in and it seems like it has stabilized now. The midrange power improvement is noticeable but not dramatic. The best part is the transmission behavior - it will...

    I think they got the tune right - no drivability issues at all and the engine / transmission seem more in sync.

    I think I saw it on facebook - or maybe instagram. They're in El Paso Texas. Here's the email I got when I ordered: YotaWerx Tuning GX460 NA 4.6L tune pack; 2016MY, ECU ID: 60X81 Please see attached for your tunes! VFTuner software can be obtained by visiting VFTuner.com and downloading...

    They were very straight about the expectations for power gains - on a naturally aspirated engine with no other real mods, you can't expect much. They told me they thought it was ~10hp peak gain, with larger gains in the midrange - and that's what it feels like to me. Not at all like a pedal...

    Installed the YotaWerx tune …. Very pleased with it. Not a ton of power gain, but the midrange feels a bit stronger. Biggest difference is throttle response and transmission shifting - much improved. No noticeable difference in fuel mileage - if anything it is ever so slightly better. The...

    Dual Battery setup

    That is only a measurement / sensing circuit and has very low power draw - which is why the stock fuse is only 1A if I remember right. A diode will burn out (like a fuse...) if any significant current is put through it - so a failure like a grounding of that wire would be protected anyway.

    Dual Battery setup

    With the GM diode mod, the Lexus will charge the AGM perfectly. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-2nd-gen-2010-present/950694-alternator-voltage-booster-for-agm-battery.html

    Dual Battery setup

    I have an AGM as the starter battery - it's a 34R. I think if you always run those things with the engine running, the alternator can keep up with the demand and not significantly over discharge the battery.

    Dual Battery setup

    I went a separate Li battery in the back with a DC-DC charger and am very happy with it. In an emergency situation, I can reverse the DC-DC charger and use the Li to charge the starter battery, so it is very flexible setup and works well. Note that I elected to make a completely separate 12V...

    Weboost Drive reach RV

    Not to disparage the WeBoost at all - I know it works. I have the CelFi Go X system installed in my GX and it is absolutely unbelievable. I only have the little stubby antenna that comes in the kit, and it absolutely works. There are Aussie made whip antennas that can be used as a substitute...
