Hello everyone,

Finally got a GX550 Overtrail+ couple weeks back. Have had my name on some waiting lists locally here in North Texas for a better part of a year with the top color choice of Eminent White Pearl (which is typically harder to find on a OT+ especially with black interior).

Got a text from one of my friends who still does business with many local dealers and there was a 2024 Incognito OT+ with 20k miles. I traded in my 2021 F150 Raptor for it, and they gave me $3k more than other appraisals (including Carvana) and picked it up the same day. While I had the Raptor for about 5 years, was cool, looked badass, it just wasn't really me. Glad I'm back in a Toyota/Lexus again; previous Toyota was a 3rd gen Tacoma.

I run a performance shop here in NTX (mostly focusing on Honda Type Rs), but this will serve as our shop truck as well now that the Raptor is gone.

Got it tinted with XPEL Prime XR Plus in 15% all around (yes on top of the factory smoked rear glass) and 5% sunroof. Debadged the GX550 off the tailgate and removed the ugly front air dam flaps. Already have wheels on order (backordered until spring '27 unfortunately), and have a whole slew of mod list including full Kings, Camburg UCAs, Dobinson's springs, 35s, etc. While I have my hands full working on Type Rs, we may take on working on these trucks especially now we have one!

Threw it up on the lift to do its first oil change under my ownership. Sent the oil out to Blackstone to do its first UOA to establish baseline.

Moved to Motul 8100 5W30 (its hot here in Texas and I use this to tow/haul) + Wix XP filter + Liqui Moly MOS2 additive. This combo has done fantastic on my shop's customer and personal cars with Blackstone results data.

I installed some goodies.

Radlfo 2.5 with external res front and rear (used, but super good deal thanks to @Jheri )
Camburg Kinetik uniball/heim UCAs
Westcott Designs rear upper spring perch on stock springs (used, but also a good deal for the full westcott kit, thanks to @Bluegill )

These dumb Michelins (they came on the truck) have got to go, looks so dinky. May throw on some temporary/in-between wheels and 35s for now while I wait for my actual wheels which are on backorder.
