Noble Brown? Sepia?
It’s called Noble Brown not Sepia…probably the same thing but My Lexus site says Noble for some reason

I saw this dripping sexpot on US 30 near Mansfield Ohio today, caught up to it, driver was a pretty hot blonde WHO TOTALLY IGNORED ME twice, once when I passed her and then when she passed me a little later. Dafuq woman? Sorry I only have 33s and no ass armor; no reason to ignore a fellow modded GX'er!!! :D

My wife dailys my GX around once a week, mainly when I'm borrowing her fuel-efficient hybrid for a longer trip. I always wonder what folks think when they see her driving around in a built rig, taking our daughter to dance or soccer practice for our son! It's highly likely that in a similar interaction she would treat you the same way this driver did :).

I'm going to need you to instruct her that if she sees a twin out in the world she needs to wave, give the shaka, or at least nod her head at said twin.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I mentioned the post after I made it and she confirmed that she would ignore the driver of the other GX. Not going to push things too much considering all of the time my wife has spend in the shop with me this summer helping wrench on my rig :).
 
my wife also drives the gx daily. she works with a lot of mil and leo, and they always ask her all sorts of questions about it. she isn’t able to answer most of the questions and leaves the poor guys hanging.
 
Yeah, sometimes when my wife drives my rig, same thing happens to her.
On the flipside, for the statistically less-common actual female owner/builder of a well-modded rig, they probably get sick and tired "is that your husband's rig?" questions/assumptions :).

My daughter will be of driving age far sooner than I will like and she's already staked her claim on the GX as her high-school ride. As of today a still plan to have the rig at that time, so she may end up having the most interesting/built rig in the high school parking lot :).

My wife drives and loves her red (it had to be red) 4x4 TRD crewcab, shortbed Taco. She love's offroading it but more often than not, is driving with me on our outings (well... we really do enjoy each others company that much, even after 40 years!), so she appreciates how my rig is built and when people give her a double take when she drives it.
 
Anyone running Dobinson upper control arms? They advertises pre set with a 3 degree caster angle. When I was doing the alignment, I was told the passenger side caster maxed out at 3.4 degree. My ride high is approximately 22.25” from the center of the hub to the fender which is an about 2” of lift, however the driver side still has some room for adjustment. Not sure if this is normal, and cruise what you guys getting for caster.

Presuming the rig is empty, you could probably drop the caster to 2.0 and get the tires pushed forwards.

I specifically run oem UCAs to fit the biggest tire size possible. I even slightly drag my ass for the benefit of caster, and will be stepping up to 35x11.5s eventually.

I ran OEM for quite some time at about 2.5 degrees of caster, it drives ok but kind wondering around on the highway so decided to add the UCAs. Initially I got about 4.5 degrees, but after I added spacers to correct KDSS lean, I can only get 3.4 now.

For larger tire, you might run into the problem of rubbing the UCAs.

Yep. Have rubber for 80k. They are nice and shiny.
