2018 GX460 Project Car
 

Hey guys. My wife and I purchased our first SUV and went with a 2018 Lexus GX460 Premium. We were also looking at the 2018 Toyota 4Runner Limited, but the GX made more sense to us. The car was purchased on February 17, 2018 with 25 miles on the dash. Below are my current mods as of March 15. I'm definitely excited to go on future road trips and adventures with the new car. I'll try my best to update this post as much as possible! Enjoy!

Full LED Interior Swap
WeatherTech All Weather Floor Mats
WeatherTech Window Visors

K&N Drop In Air Filter

Metal Tech Sliders

My parents purchased a GX as well. I used their dealership cover because the Bright Green was too much. lolhttps://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...1c6a23a3c3.jpg

Very nice. Not concerned about warranty?

Thanks! I won't be touching the suspension any time soon unfortunately, but it definitely is in my future plans. Other than that, not worried about warranty. I'm glad I'm able to swap everything back to stock easily with the current/future mods.

Welcome and congrats! Any rubbing or modifications needed to fit those wheels/tires?

Are you gonna add Crawl and MTS to the mod list? Those are reversible to stock as well.

hahahah you look like a salesman now lol.

My whole business plan fell apart when Megazip couldn't deliver on the 070s :-)

Thank you! There was a little rubbing on the inside bolt of the stock running boards. I removed that one bolt that the tires were hitting and replaced it with a flat bolt until I installed the sliders. No rubbing at all anymore thank God.

Sent you a DM back :)

Welcome to the forum! That's a great list of mods to keep you busy for awhile and those pictures look great. Enjoy your new wheels!

On behalf of everybody who saw your pictures above..... you have a beautiful wife! Nice mods, too. Congrats on both! :)

Cool! I just ordered some KO2s in the same size. Can you take pics from the front and back to show how much "poke" there is?

where did you find a flat bolt? I have searched all of the lowes/home depots and cant seem to find one. I have 265/70/18 setup and it was rubbing on that same bolt. I removed it and haven't replaced it yet.

Home Depot has it. Just take an old one off and bring it with you.

It should be a one inch flat and comes with 8 bolts per pack for $1. something.
