Hi it's Mark from Central TX I got my first Lexus, a Nori green Overtrail back in August after about 6 months in wait list and the hold. Changed the sides to Aries ActionTrac power steps, that can be switched to pop down a lower step when a door opens. And added the Sherpa roof rack in place of the built in rails, to carry a canoe or kayak mount. The roof rack was a speedy install; left out one of its cross bars so as to not cover the moon roof opening. I'm surprised the 550 did not come with mudguards or a mudguard option but I found the Overtrail compatible mudguard part numbers on this forum, so was able to order them, thanks! Only minor complaint is the plastic cover parts around the hitch don't seem to allow enough room for actually installing or removing a pin - so just leave them off. Otherwise no issues at 5000mi.
