    Dreaded "Toyota Lean?"

    I know this has already been covered to some extent but I have a 25' OT and absolutely HATE the lean, it is eating the soul of my OCD... Terrible photo attached but there is between 20-25mm of lean in my car towards the right side, confirmed by a reputable tyre shop after going for an...

    Largest Tire on GX 550

    I run the westcott kit with a 17x8.5 et35 and a 35x12.5 tyre, had to do very minor trimming on the inside lower edge of the bumper, 10mm or so. Otherwise you could go the next size down, like a 305/70 r17 (if running 17's).

    Bertha's Maiden Voyage - Sycamore Creek, AZ

    Awesome, I have the westcott kit on mine, I would say it's 15%-20% more firm/rigid than stock.. I've heard the SST kit is much better. I'm looking to do a spring and shock combo soon as the westcott kit just isn't comfortable enough for me and is annoyingly bumpy when going off-road. They look...

    Bertha's Maiden Voyage - Sycamore Creek, AZ

    Nice! Which lift kit are you running? I'm so envious of the trails you guys have over in the states... I wish I could take my GX there 😅

    Installed Peak Performance 1.25" lift to level my Overtrail

    Interesting, I thought the spring rate or reactivity (however you want to call it) stays the same and the collar simply increases the length of the shock. I am no expert by any means. I have the Westcott kit on my GX and yes the wheel hop as you say is very evident.. I'm looking at changing over...

    bump - any update on this? Looking to do the same set up. Ram mount + Thread 2 Overland. Also, how do you find the Garmin Thread? Is it worth the money? (at around $1700 aud).

    Installed Peak Performance 1.25" lift to level my Overtrail

    nice! question, did you consider the westcott designs levelling kit, curious as to why you went the peak option? How do you find the ride now that it's lifted?

    Dynamic Radar Cruise Control - can be dangerous !

    The DRCC in the GX certainly isn't the best. I was very annoyed with it until I worked out that you can change the settings in the menu, now I have it set so the acceleration is at max (quickest possible) and turned off the curve speed reduction. It's a little better now and doesn't drop...

    Rear tyre mount via tow hitch

    Mate that looks killer. Is that a 35" tyre? Generally how do you find having the tyre mounted back there, is it annoying not being able to use the rear view camera? I'm considering mounting the tyre back there as a daily drive.

    Rear tyre mount via tow hitch

    Hi guys any update on this? Did you end up ordering / fitting any of these products to your GX? Keen to get one as I'm running 35's and a spare won't fit under the car

    Dynamic Radar Cruise Control - can be dangerous !

    Quick one to be aware of - I was driving the other day on a highway (110kph zone) when suddenly there was a huge downpour of heavy / torrential rain.. everyone slowed down to about 50kph with their hazards on as there was low visibility. My distance control was still activated, with the speed...

    Lane departure

    Thanks, good to know - very strange that yours stays off permanently but mine resets every time I start the car
