The only thing I worry about is that I've read lately of some quality issues with CBI offroad, in particular the prinsu products having dramatically declined in quality since the acquisition.

What is the Lexus GXOR email?
I contacted them via their main contact form and stated that I would like to be added to the list for the GXOR hybrid bumper. They replied asking me for more details about my contact info and the year of the vehicle and said that they would reach out when they plan to launch the GXOR products.
Thanks for that update, wonder the cost
Who knows but I am willing to wager it'll be somewhere between $1200-1600.
So I was doing some research and I have to eat my own words a little. The total chaos Long Arm kit will put front wheel travel in the 15 inch range which is awesome BUT will need some fender modifications....which I’m not willing to do at 10,000 miles on my GX. The total chaos upper control arm will put the front wheel travel to around 11, not great but much better than stock and no cutting. I’m most likely going that route when it comes to front suspension upgrades which might be soon, I’m a little tired of the “choppy” ride the GX has over bumps.

Note that a choppy ride can also be attributed to shocks and/or springs, either too soft or too stiff.
It's kind of like the Goldilocks story trying to find that perfect fit.

I've spent the last 20 years and 385,000 miles driving simple and basic, my 2000 Tacoma SR5 5 speed manual. No power windows, no cruise, no power locks, no power mirrors. I am looking forward to the luxury of the GX. The 5th gen 4 Runner and 460 are really the same short of the V8, 6 speed auto (which is really a double overdrive) and full time 4 wheel drive transfer case. The 4 Runner does have the rear locker, so what. You can ARB locker a GX front and rear if wanted, try sticking a V8 in a 5th gen 4 Runner.
I just spent the last two weeks in Namibia driving a 2017 79 series double cab Land Cruiser. Simple yes, 1 HZ, 5 speed, power windows and basic power locks. It actually drove well! But it was still basic. The ride was decent, seats were comfy, but it had the turning radius of an aircraft carrier. All the talk of wanting a basic simple truck is really just talk for most people.
The GX is a fancy 4 Runner without a locker.

Ahhh... To have the other series LC's here in the U.S.!
Got to see the concept in person (and on the move!) today at Expo East. Cool rig, with some nice touches. Also spent some time talking with Mark @ CBI about the bumper production. They're on test vehicle (fitment) #2 and will test one more vehicle before they move into production. Seems like it's definitely a reality.
I just received this email!
Thanks for info. I just emailed them to get on the list too.

Oh my GOSH!!! I'm about to piddle my pants!!!
...Stop, my beating heart! Is it true?? Will we truly get an GXOR in the lower 48??
I may seriously think about selling my rig and getting one of these if it's not outrageously priced.
And I'm sure it'll have all the electronic goodies, e.g. crawl control, multi terrain, 360° camera, dynamic cruise control, etc.
Any word about lockers front and rear? I'm guessing probably a rear e-locker and open diff in front. But what the heck, it's not that hard to add a locker in the front!
