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
Yellow Laminex Fog Light Overlay
K&N Drop In Air Filter
Black Chrome Gorilla Lug Nuts
Rotiform Six-OR 17x9 +1 (4+ 1 Spare)
Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265/70/17

Metal Tech Sliders
Future Mods

My parents purchased a GX as well. I used their dealership cover because the Bright Green was too much. lol

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?
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.

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.
