    Time to say Goodbye GX550 Lux+

    I think this is 100% the case for a very large percentage of people that are ultimately unhappy with it and also definitely seems like it's mostly on the Prem/Lux side. At least out West there are very few dealers that ever have a model in-stock to test drive. I personally made a FB marketplace...

    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    I'm very interested to see some reviews on these kits once they're being used. I wish there was something a bit more in-between in terms of cost and power though. Would love to get right around 500hp with maybe just something like upgraded intakes/charge pipe/intercooler + tune or something. No...

    Is anyone in search of the CBI Off-Road Front Bumper for the GX550? We have 3 in stock to skip the 6 week lead time.

    Bought one in the last batch and unfortunately haven't had time to install yet, but would HIGHLY recommend Land Bully.

    2025 4runner/2024 tacoma trailhunter wheels on a GX550

    Looks good. Just keep in mind for those looking, tire size will be more limited with that lower offset if you are looking to go up to a 34"+ tire.

    Traded 2024 lc240 premium for the 2026 gx overtail

    Congrats! The engine/trans was a big reason I went with the GX over the LC and 6th gen 4Runner too. The power specs make it seem like they should be really similar, but the GX is so much better IMO. A little surprised to hear about the wind noise being better. I know the Overtrail+ supposedly...

    Beatsonic Sigma Amplifier for Premium Sound system

    Little update here for anyone that is looking to utilize one of these with also adding a sub...using the RCA preout from the Beatsonic amp to the subwoofer amp does work, but the problem is the factory head unit bass adjustment controls the bass level of both the factory speakers AND the...

    2026 OT Front clunking noise.

    Chiming in as just another something to check if anyone hears a rattle going over bumps. For me it sounded like it was coming from the back, which it was, but saw someone else just post elsewhere they thought they heard it up front. Ended up being the jack in the hidden compartment in the back...

    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    Without reading through everything, is the update for the transmission? That's the one thing holding me back a bit right now. My '26 OT shifts great and while I do occasionally feel the 2-1 downshift, it's never what I would call rough or hard. I'd hate to do the tune to a prior trans version...

    Beatsonic Sigma Amplifier for Premium Sound system

    I don't suppose anyone that bought one of these ended up not using and wants to sell? Getting impatient waiting on a restock here. lol

    Long Range America - Announcement

    Honestly I forgot to note my mileage at the start, but kinda feel with how different everyone drives the total range is going to swing a decent amount person to person. I do mostly city driving with short stretches on the highway outside of road trips, and I don't baby it much, so my mileage is...

    Long Range America - Announcement

    Hey, I can try to take a video, but honestly I'm not sure you will be able to tell much. It's louder, but it's not like we're talking a V8 cold start or anything. I think it'll likely be too subtle of a difference from video to form an opinion.

    Long Range America - Announcement

    Another little update, I finally ran it down enough to do a full fill up. Everything worked normal until the last ~3 gallons and it took a little hand holding to get the last few in without it clicking off. No big deal IMO. I filled up within probably 5 miles or so of the fuel light coming on...

    NYTOP Hybrid Front Bumper Installed... what an experience

    Glad you were handy enough to make it work. It does appear to look good after you modded everything to fit appropriately. I have a CBI bumper coming that I got on their spring sale, interesting to hear you can get the lower valance off without removing the bumper. May have to give that a shot...
