Added wireless charger under the armrest area. I have to admit that I am not an artist by any stretch, so not as greatest art work, but serves function Part I used were from Amazon:
Amazon Amazon
plus added a USB power socket. Since I have done the 12V mod for the rear seat, adding a socket in there is pretty easy to do.

Taking my GX with me elk hunting... setup camp last weekend and going over Friday for the week. Two bails of hay under the tent, new cots and air mattress, Zodi tent and water heaters. Primitive but still livable. Along with my propane powered Honda EU2000i generator I've got a couple 100W solar panels and 400W solar generators for power. The ARB refrig to keep the food cool. One could stream Netflix at 50 megabit on Verizon to portable device if they wanted to.... a mountain top microwave relay and cell tower is a few miles away. I know not everyone's cup of tea. I grew up on wild game and since the early 70's we have gotten over 100 elk between my dad and brother. We always get at least two a year and not trophy hunters. We have a couple cow (female elk) permits this year. Some of the healthiest red meat you will ever eat. One of my dad's friends make pepperonis and sausage as well and usually adds some pork as the elk is so lean.

Default Finally got around to installing the exhaust tip

Just don't understand why Lexus did not include this as standard... the chrome tip matches well with other chrome parts on the rear door!

I have the so called F Sports appearance package and it does include a nice exhaust tip which I initially thought was after market.

Wish I could this year... brother messed up an easy shot.... I slipped in a snowy area and spooked a heard that was no more than 20 yards from me. Then we had to do a quick evac yesterday afternoon because of all the high mountain snow. We had a foot and then another 15 inches was supposed to fall overnight so we pulled camp. Season ended today anyway. My dad left his old beater motorhome up there for time being. Gonna try retrieving next week when things melt some or it will become a permanent fixture for this winter.

EDIT: Ordered my winter set of Michelin X-Ice tires for those used GX rims I picked up a few months back. Just gonna purchase through Costco. I'm also going to put OEM TPMS sensors in tires and program myself. Just gonna take the rims for mounting to Costco and I will put tires on in a month or so when I really need them.

I've been so caught up with my new LS430 that I've really been neglecting my GX460. Gave her a quick bath tonight that was overdue. This was actually the first time I've washed it since I bought it. Found that is really needs a light polish and some wax, which I will work on in a few weeks. Also, the headlights look like they've been polished, but poorly, so I will redo those.

106K miles and headlights are clear for me. I recommend a good film.

I wonder if the Prado tip also fit as it’s cheaper and I think a bit better looking (oval instead of round).

Reached a milestone today. Lol

I have the oval tip, the outlet is slightly bigger I guess.

We added another GX to our family. Mine is inside the garage, the red is brother's and the black is sister's.
