Tex Gets a 250 (14 Viewers)

[Tex68w]

Our 2025 GX Overtrail is on a boat headed over as we speak. I wanted Incognito, but the wife wanted her to go to Pearl White; in the end, she won out, lol. Excited to have one in the garage here in the next 4-7 weeks and I am glad that we waited for the improvements on the '25 MY. We will have the front wrapped in PPF, as I know all too well how easily the paint chips on these Lexus/Toyota vehicles. The wife wants the roof wrapped in a high gloss Piano Black as well to resemble the two-tone factory option available on damn near every color but white, which I find very odd.

Does anyone have factory all-weather floor mats? I can't get a straight answer from the salesman on whether or not they come standard on the OT models. I don't see them as an option aside from the one in the cargo area, but I don't see them listed anywhere in the standard equipment either. If not, I plan to order a set of Husky mats, and I need to look into some cargo plastic protection for when we travel with the dogs. Any suggestions in that regard would be greatly appreciated.

I won't be messing with the suspension or bumpers on this one right out of the gate like I am known to do, but I will be watching builds to get ideas for the future. So please don't tempt me too hard in that department lol.

Glad you got one! I really like mine.

My OT+ came with the all weather mats, front and second row only. I had to purchase the rear mat.

I was in the same mindset as you and wasn't going to modify it.. didn't last long...

What all have you done?

So far:
arb mt64 shocks
Trail hunter upper arms from the 4runner
Made billet rear lower control arms that use 200 series bushings
Toyo at3 275-70r18 E load tires
Lexus air compressor, yours should come with it
Wrapped it

I have scanned the underside and started designing skids, hoping to replace the front crossmember along with the front ekkds bracket. (Both pretty weak) I want oil filter and drain access like the 200 series skids.

Looks great! Well you know I loved your 200 skids, I'd be tempted to get them for the OT if you come up with a set.

How’s the ride on the MT64s vs factory? What all did you gain height wise?

That thing is pretty sexy. For a Lexus

The ride is much better than the factory AVS shocks. Raised the front up about 2 inches, with 1 perch left to go up higher if I want. With the tires, which are a little bigger than the OEM Toyos, there is 12" of clearance under the front skid. They also increased wheel travel by about 2 inches too.

On full droop, in the front, the OEM upper arm would hit the spring. The 4runner trail hunter\TRD upper arms have more clearance and the spring clears now.
