Default My Introduction

Hello everyone my name is Alex. Glad to be back in the Toyota/Lexus family after a long hiatus. Anywho here is my new(to me) GX460. I've had it a few months now and installed a few trinkets to make it my own. Here in Dallas, there TONs of these rolling around so I want to stand out. I purchased this vehicle to be my daily driver replacing my 2008 CRV, because of the obvious reliability and durability being in the Land Cruiser family of vehicles.

2017 Lexus GX460 Premium
BFG KO2 275/65/R18
Land Cruiser "V8" fender badges
Lexus OEM crossbars
Lasfit floor liners
Yakima Mega Warrior roof basket






-Alex

My favorite Lexus Grille ... versus the In-The-Face "Spindle Design" that looks like it will suck up small children while driving through the neighborhood.

You’re gonna wanna yank off that Yakima basket dealie unless you’re taking weekly expeditions through the southern Colombia jungle to photograph wildlife or something.

That thing is gonna eat gas like Lizzo goes through Supreme Pizzas.

Great color! For a 6 year old the ecru seat still looks fabulous! How many miles on it? Nuluxe I presume?

I see that as a feature, not a bug.

I work from home so I rarely drive more than 5 - 10 miles a day but yeah I expect a hit on the fuel economy.

Nuluxe is Toyota's version of vinyl.

Looks fantastic for that mileage. Best of luck; really like your upgrades!

Oh okay, I assumed it was leather but maybe it is Nuluxe. Here's some interior pics in case someone can clarify.

Oh you're basically down the street, I'm right off 121 in Carrollton.

No issues with these tires rubbing whatsoever. I haven't had my suspension fully articulated off-road so not sure if that would ever be an issue. I don't ever plan to do rock crawling or over landing so I don't expect these tires will give me issues for my purposes.

Yes 100% stock suspension.

Thanks. It's subtle and I added some black out over lays to the door handles to reduce the amount of chrome.
