Nice! Who makes the housing brackets?
 
Rago Fabrication

 
I will tell you this, they hang below the lower edge of the rack about 1/16th of an inch. Not a boig deal at all, but wanted you to be aware. Tomorrow I will try and post up pics of what I am talking about.
 
It’s really hard NOT to mod these vehicles…I don’t know how you do it.
 
I've been keeping busy modding motorcycles, SxS's, and my truck lol. Right now, the GX is momma's, and she said no mods. A tan GX550 OT is at the forefront of the list for "MY" next vehicle, so if that holds up, then it'll get the catalog thrown at it haha.
 
A few things I left off in the last couple weeks:

I added the Garmin Power Switch from Blaze Offroad. WOW! What a piece of kit this thing is. Worked perfectly with no errors out of the box, super easy install, outstanding overall.

The scene light housings from Rago Fabrication were also installed onto the Westcott Roofrack. Another great product. Baja’s SS2 Pros all around.

Did my first oil change at 752 miles. Very few bits of metal. Fewer than any other motor I have had or installed. Very pleased with that outcome. Will do another oil change at 2500 and keep you posted.

See photos.

Are you saving the factory AUX switches for something else?

I did an oil change at 1000 and again at 5000; nothing to report in terms of metal. The fact that the GX hasn't shown to have issues in the first three years tells me its inclusion in the recall was simply a safety play by Lexus. I have no qualms about this engine.
 
If I end up adding more lights or aux items, I can actually wire the factory switches to the Garmin so they too can be controlled by it and thus through my phone and the in vehicle screen.
 
THOUGHT I MIGHT LIST OUT ALL IMPROVEMENTS SO I CAN HAVE A PLACE TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM ALL:
