Looking for GX470 w/KDSS

[GXO]

Horse and Buggy!

You're right kdss doesn't have many problems but I don't know if it's worth waiting for. I think other things are more important but to each his own.

KDSS does have a few issues and they are expensive to fix like leaking cylinders.

I would skip it and use a disconnect of sine kind if you need that much flex.

Sad to hear, man. As with most of us 470 owners, yours has been a huge inspiration. I know the next build will be just as awesome. Look forward to how it turns out.

Thank You We have not listed Lexy for sale yet, been to busy driving her, we are not 100% sure what truck we will get next, have a few ideas we are playing with. I hope all goes well with your GX

The on-road benefit is of more use to me since that's where I spend most of my time. By all means, buy what you want....but I don't see many people who actually have KDSS say they wish they didn't.

Mine is for sale! I've got an 04 with everything you're looking for

I personally prefer KDSS, especially on road. It just handles much better.

Having owned both GX's with and without KDSS. I love KDSS as 95% of the time we are driving on tar roads. The significant less body role is a joy in such a tall SUV. And it also has better articulation for off-roading. I have 140k on mine and never had a KDSS issue. The dealer even told me never to replace the hydraulic fluid as its a closed system and he has not seen any issue with them.
I think the down side is if you want rock sliders then having KDSS makes that a more expensive challenge.

When looking at pics if you see black wood then you know it has sport pk and KDSS. As most dealers and people are clueless about it.

You have to modify the center bracket on the driver's side. The front/rear brackets (and the passenger slider) bolt up.

The trick is to never drive a KDSS GX, that way you don't know what you're missing.

Also never drink good gin.

Barr Hill, I'm looking at you...

Is it possible to install KDSS on 2016?

 

[wingysataday]

Sounds like an awful lot of work if it's even possible it would be hell leashes you probably just want to look into getting stronger sway bar or something

Lexus GX - Performance

Looks like the GX460 comes with KDSS.

 

[wingysataday]

but it's so ugly.

 

[Sleepy]

I thought it was OK until they updated the front. Aweful now.

I just posted my 08 GX470 with KDSS and Sport Pkg on Autotrader. 88k miles, silver, very good condition. Would prefer it go to someone who would appreciate it, so if you're interested, search on zip code 49120.
