I just want to see how far I can push the GX so I know
the tank's limit.
Good link and video. 👍

The other day swapped out the cabin filter in the glove box... what does that take like 60 seconds?

Put in Weathertech mats front to rear cargo area
Bought a BumpStep for when the hitch isn't on there... let
others crash into that. I have some Weather LP frame covers
but plates haven't arrived yet. In WA state new plates are
always issued with new owners unless a vehicle is gifted
IIRC.
Picked up the stock cargo area net cheap off of eBay. Also put on the OEM crossbars and OEM Chrome exhaust tip.

I'm still debating if I want to go with OEM crossbars or Yakima Railgrabs. Most of my rack and ski stuffs are Yakima

Yeah I did get that Step from WeatherTech.
I've used WeatherTech now for 10 years... always seemed high quality.
The OEM crossbars were $150 on eBay. PN: PT278-60091
Since I plan to use a rear carrier at times when cargo trailer isn't back there and I have a small Yakima LoadWarrior from my CX-5 I thought the OEM bars would be fine for that smaller basket.

I'm keeping an eye out for the oem crossbars. Haven't seen them at low prices lately. I also have a Yakima rack with extension and a Skybox 18. They would look great on top of the GX
Btw, after reading up on how much the keyfob cost to replace, I went and got some protections for them 😁. Hope I don't drop them often.

Probably not a bad idea to put protectors on them.
Not sure if it was a great deal for crossbars but $150 ones had free shipping. It seemed to be the cheapest I could find. Vendor had 23 for sale.

Is the tail pipe attachment easy to put on? Assume its just a clamp you tighten around the tail pipe. Thanks

Super easy install. Just slide on and tighten two bolts. I think it took me longer to get unpackaged than to install. :-)

What a nice house you have...enough space for a some offroad tracks

Yes, I live just 3 miles outside of the city limit and have a nice piece of land. My boy learned how to drive on it, started with the garden tractor, then the truck, then with the GX.

I've used the Lexol cleaner and conditioner wipes on other cars for years now. This semi aniline leather in my GX seems to be better than anything I have personally had in the past.

Just did the front and rear brake pads today. Went really well. About a 10 to 15 minute job per caliper if you know what you're doing for pads only. Went with Hawk HPS blue box, pedal feels firm and bites decently even when cold. I would like to flush the brake fluid but it looks like the rears will be a hassle to flush without Techstream.

Do you have any URLs or Part Numbers on what you ordered?
I want to swap mine out as well.
