Nice Acrad35751...My brakes still have alot of life left but when it's time to replace, I'm thinking also doing the rotors too. Good to know the back is also easy.

After reading the thread about what are in the Tool kit, I've been looking out for some extra ones to fill it up. For a few bucks, I picked up some vintage Lexus open wrench and plier from eBay. I believe these are from the original Lexus in the 90's. Some new ones have the word Lexus and not the logo. The latest ones don't have any words or logo...and make in China LOL

A bit dirty but I like them haha.. I also found an old Toyota branded plug wrench.

Some dirt and oil to show characters LOL
Almost full. Still missing the plug bar

Nice find on the tools!!!!

Rotors were in such good shape I left them on this go around. I know not everything is easy to work on in this vehicle but the brakes are a treat. Rest assured... just a small time allotment on a Saturday morning.

I just discovered that I can change the temp from my driver side and it also changes the passenger side to the same setting by disabled 3-Zone in the Climate Control. LOL
My Odyssey has a Sync button to sync both settings and I couldn't figure out how to do that in the GX until now.

Yeah this was first vehicle I actually had to review HVAC in owners manual to understand options & how it works.

LOL, no kidding haha.

Quick update on the Weather Tech deflectors. WT sent a pair of front deflectors and I installed the driver side. A bit smoother and rolled up fine in small increments; you can't roll the window up in one shot, it will roll back down again. As soon as the it rolls up to where the WT edge, it has to be small nudges from there up.

Noise as confirm again, it is definitely louder than without, especially at freeway speed 60-70 but nothing really alarming. It's probably the stock GX cabin is soooo quiet that any noise that could be heard would definitely be noticeable. My Odyssey is much louder than this

I now have a perfectly new passenger side front and a cracked edge driver side (still works fine as I installed it and tested) as spares haha.

That is cool they didn't hassle you to send back and let you keep the original purchase. I have a lot of respect for WeatherTech and their products!!

Got a ding on left side of windshield.... by time I had gotten it into repair shop this afternoon turned into 3 inch crack. Normally I'd replace... but with major piece of freeway I drive on everyday being ground and re-paved I think I'll wait on that until that damage runs it course. I maintain high deductibles so not worth it for me to replace at this time.

Get it filled ASAP. I have had this done a couple of times and it lasted 2+ years before the filler broke down in Georgia temperature fluctuations and the crack spread.

On drive to Safelite shop it started to crack. In hindsight I should have tried to get an onsite repair at my worksite. Shop got it stopped but is a kind of an eye-sore. It's about 2/3 up windshield and went to the edge. Oh well... if it bugs me and the wife enough might just get it replaced. I haven't had a chip in 3 years now. There was a time I was getting them every month. I expect damage to increase quite a bit now with the summer road construction starting up.

I used one of the RainX windshield repair kit to stop a crank my wife's camry with good result. It cracked on the 2nd day we had the car and it's been almost 3 years now..holding up good. If it's not too long, you can use this to extend it a bit.

Any thoughts on this for my 2014 GX high beam ? I dislike the yellow Halogen so much...
