This will be the home for discussion and photos, etc of my build progress. I previously had a 2015 GX 460 black on black, premium that I added a few things to in order to make it a bit more capable in the rocky high desert of Central Oregon. I ultimately sold it in order to not have a car payment after an unexpected change in work and income. Things have stabilized a bit and I wanted to get a late model GX 460 since Toyota/Lexus has done away with the venerable V8 and I am not interested in their newer twin turbo offerings.
After shopping around I found a fair deal on a 2023 Black Line, Limited Edition in my favorite color, Nori Green. The vehicle had one owner, low miles (17000,) and it had several of the upgrades I would have put on already done by a professional shop. The original owner had only taken it lightly off-road a couple times. The truck had been pampered, all maintenance done on time and looked as new. Owner is a great guy and the deal was smooth and painless aside from coordinating the time to get down there and figuring out paying off lien, etc. But no hassles that were out of the ordinary. Vehicle is still under factory warranty and has plenty of time left on all the trial, subscription periods.
Included were the Black Line, locking crossbars with Dakine padded crossbar covers, rear cargo tonneau cover, trailer brake wiring kit (not installed yet,) Console Vault, cargo net, factory rubber floor mats, security lug nuts, and the owner also included at no cost, a new, Lunolife, truck camping air mattress that fits in the back of the truck.
The mods that were already installed on the truck include:
5 BF Goodrich K03 in 285/70/17
Fox Factory Race Series 2.5 COIL-OVER IFP Shock
ICON UCA
FOX Factory Race Series Adjustable rear shocks
CBI Rock Sliders
RIGD Ultraswing
SCS 17x8.5 Wheels K5
Accumen Rear View mirror Camera and Recording Device
There is zero rubbing even at full lock, forward or reverse. Shop did a BMC with welded endcaps, etc.
Updates and photos coming soon.
