    🛠️ What did you do in your GX today?

    Yesterday I took it in for a pseudo-5k service. Rather than driving ~8hrs round trip to the nearest Lexus dealer, I called Lexus corporate and the dealer to see if there was any issue with me having this "service" done at my local Toyota dealer. They both told me no problem, just keep the...

    Remark Exhaust

    I'm coming to the conlusion that it's pretty easy to make a v8 sound good, but it's huge chalenge for a 6. It's possible with a really high performance engine or a lot of dolars invested in the exhaust. But chances of a bolt-on kit for a 6 cyl SUV sounding good seem slim.

    Car care nut review

    I think this guy knows what he's talking about but I just can't watch him. His delivery drives me nuts. I guess I'll never know what he had to say ;)

    Thin tires on OT?

    I replaced the stock tires with another set of Toyo AT3s (different size) and the aftermarket ones are a LOT different than the OEMs in terms of tread depth and sidewall rigidity.

    GX vs Range Rover Sport

    When I was considering a Defender vs the GX I spent a lot of time on Defender forums and this seems to be a really common (and expensive) issue.

    How do we feel about Aerospace 303 on the dash and door panels?

    Does it leave any shine or does it maintin the really matte factory look?

    Hendricks for me too, but I also think Boodles is great for the price.

    No, they only cover the seatback, and don't extend to the floor.

    Not sure what you're asking. I have Canvasback covers that cover the the entire back of the second row seats and the horizontal / floor part of the cargo area. But no coverage of the sides of the cargo area. Can't speak highly enough Canvasback!

    I did spring for the bamboo version. It definitely has some sort of finish on it, seems oil based. In hindsight, the birch makes more sense. A buddy is giving me a 48 x 48 piece of 1/8 rubber mat that I will put on top before I strap it down, partly to protect it but mostly to keep shit from...

    Yeah, I think I like this. Fits well, seems pretty sturdy, came very well packaged. Can easily go from flat to set up in about a minute (or less) and creates an extra layer of storage space that's about 8 in. tall so tool roll, go bag, camping chair, food bag and Jetboil stuff, fishing gear...
