I mean the OD of the tires is 32-33” so I don’t think there is any debate if they will “fit”. Just need to pick a tire with the right aspect ration from 22” with less sidewall.

All the cost in Ppf install is in paint prep and labour. The materials themselves have never cost that much. Good luck getting it done right. Even one spec of dirt under the film stands out like a sore thumb.

And here I am just waiting for a GX-F V8

Mines going in tomorrow. The oil was optional and cost extra. For a 35 minute dealer service I would question if they actually did the oil lol. They quoted me a 90 minute wait so I’m taking a loaner to work.

Sounds like you have your mind made up and this all thought out. Best of luck with a dirt bike hobby in NYC!

Ya a cantilevered load like that should be a FRACTION of max tongue weight due to the dynamic loads involved. Hanging heavy things off the backs of vehicles is bad engineering. It seems to me you have a good usage case for a pickup truck. Probably with a long box. Otherwise a trailer.

https://www.lexus.co.uk/new-cars A lot of micro SUV’s and vans. No GX’s.

Are they even sold there?

That’s accessory power. It’s an electrical mode between off, and ignition on. Like in an older car where you turn the key one click but not 2. It will let you use 12v power in the cigarette lighter etc. without powering up the cars full systems and hvac etc.

Tire size? Parkade anxiety is my main reason for not doing any lift/tire work. My main client is moving to a building with a 5’11 parkade this winter. Might need to drop them… lol

You can’t have your cake and eat it too… Lexus’s are priced the way they are and quality and reliability maintained because their manufacturing process is streamlined by not building any number of unique configurations one after another and keeping track of this all. Doing what you suggest...

Not sure. Could be both

I feel like the calibration is a glorified rubber stamp as long as you get it aligned properly. That said, if you use LTA that’s something you probably want to get right as it’s all camera based.

My GX is absolutely purpose built. The curbs in the Starbucks drive through ain’t gonna jump themselves.

You’re all wrong… this is a rig Jokes aside. Don’t yuck someone’s yum just because it doesn’t meet your arbitrary yardstick for a build. Who cares.
