    Want OT, Need Lux+ - So, Mods?

    I can partially help with suspension. Both Luxury+ and OT/OT+ have the AVS suspension. AVS does just fine on fire roads. You should have enough clearance for fireroad use. My 2024 OT did not have any issues on fire roads with clearance. I did have issues on off-shoots and really rocky...

    🛠️ What did you do in your GX today?

    One of the challenges was a fairly deep wash out. Given it had been raining the side slope was unforgiving when I went off my line (twice, oops). All worked out fine, AT4s had good bite to crawl out, Dissent sliders did their job too and kept the side protected as I dragged myself out. Lots...

    🛠️ What did you do in your GX today?

    Spent this week visiting our oldest in Tahoe. Our visits always include some trip to the many trails in the area. This time we hit Jumbo Grade on the Nevada side with him (Taco) and two of his buddies (F150, xTerra) and visited an abandoned mine near Virginia City. Jumbo Grade is very scenic...

    A major disappointment with my GX550

    As you have noted the uncertainty of the GX is causing undue and undeserved stress. Dump it. Used prices are high due to demand. Move on and buy a late-year GX460 or a 200 series or ???

    2024 GX Engine Recall?

    All USA 550’s are under factory warranty until 2028 (for the 2024s). If they don’t have it figured out and Toyota/Lexus flake and decide to be a lousy engineering/car company with half-witted fixes and poor support I’ll dump it and them as a company and let capitalism work. If future me still...

    Squeaky brake repair worked for you?

    My 2024 has had the brake TSB done. The piercing shriek is now 98% gone. Hit the trails and get the brakes dirty/muddy and they make noise again, but not as bad. Once the vehicle is cleaned up it improves and then a couple of hard stops makes it quiet again. YMMV, overall happy with the fix.

    2026 OT Plus Color???

    We have a Nori RX. Awesome color. My equal first choices for the GX were (and still would be) Nori or Earth. Earth came in first, so Earth for the win. Now, having had it for a little while I still love the Earth color but did think it needed a little bit more to set it apart. Being in...

    24 vs 25 OT OEM 1” Lift Details via reddit

    Hi, confirmed by looking pre-install picture of my purchased coils that is the 2025 part number. I can confirm it works on a 2024 (mine) and provided a 1” rear lift. Looks like they are only making the new part number going forward..

    Kudos to PDA

    I really like traffic jam assist. It works very well and I would like the ceiling speed raised to 40-45mph. I, personally really dislike PDA. It drives like my nervous grandmother and is very overactive in my experience.

    2024 GX Engine Recall?

    FWIW, I was worried about the Tundra V35A failures when I was waiting for my GX. I placed an early deposit and passed on the first one they offered (5,xxx VIN) as the Tundra saga was still developing. I took the second one (11,xxx VIN) built in June 2024. I’m at 15K miles. My Lexus app only...

    🛠️ What did you do in your GX today?

    Not today, but this past weekend. Hit the trails near Tahoe. Last Friday around Mt. Watson (with my son and his Tacoma) & on Saturday the area around Sunflower Mountain with my son (Tacoma) and his buddy (Bronco Wildtrak). GX was able to go everywhere the Bronco went, just slower and more...
