Showing Off 2019 just getting broken in!
Got it with 40k miles about 6 months ago. I’ve slowly been doing all the preventative maintenance. As of last weekend I’ve replaced every single fluid. Hoping to make it to 500k! Pics are from the day I got it and how it looks today.

Tires Help Help with tire size
Ordered a set of wheels for the gx 17x8.5 with a -12 offset. Trying to figure out suspension but I wanted to put the wheels on and ride on the stock suspension until I figured out the funds and what I want. Would a 285/70r17 fit on the stock suspension for the time being or is that way to big. I’m not doing any off roading Just daily driving for the time being Thanks in advance

Showing Off Are there any OEM+/Street oriented GX owners here?
2021 Premium. So my build is very OEM+, and I see a lot of people lift these and what not. So, out of curiosity, has anyone decided to go the OEM+/Street build route?! Don’t judge me lol…

General Discussion What’s the highest and lowest temperature you’ve driven your Lexus GX in?
I am planning a winter ski trip for 2 weeks in the mountains this winter, where temperature will get below -15°C and -20°C. As the title mentions, what’s the highest and lowest temperature you’ve driven your Lexus GX in? How did the car handle the temperature and what kind of mpg (l/100km) did you get?

Mechanical Advice GX470 Vibration Question
Hey everyone,
My 06 GX470 with 322k miles has loud and noticeable vibration from about 45-70 MPH. It is noticable in the entire car, not just the steering wheel.
I know this question gets asked to death but here's the caveat of why I'm asking this - it only happens when I let off the gas and coast. When gas is applied, the vibration instantly goes away.
Every other post I've seen about vibrations only seem to mention vibration under load that disappears when letting off gas, which is why I'm stumped.
So far I've greased the ujoints and driveshafts, trans fluid, and diff fluids. I still need to check wheel balance but is there anything else anyone would recommend? Does this sound like my driveshafts or ujoints are shot?
Pic for attention, appreciate any insight!

Rust Check Frame repair or normal
Looking at this vehicle and noticed this frame section. A friend says it looks like it had been plated at the line mount but not sure. Wondering if it looks like frame repair or normal. Rest of the car is very clean and other side of frame isn’t as rusty.

Mechanical Advice How to replace headlight washers
2023 GX here. The headlight washer broke on my wife’s car and I ordered a new washer and washer cap. How do I mount this thing back? Do I have to take the headlight out? I have the clip and the new washer connected but can’t seem to figure out how it mounts from under the car. Pic is of my wife’s car for reference.

Purchasing Advice Looking for a good deal
What is the best year/model to look for when buying a GX460 in terms of reliability/problems? considering a budget at around USD$25K I'm worried mainly for the KDSS problems. Currently have a 2011 J150 Prado (the Toyota version with diesel engine) and i think a GX would be a perfect replacement mainly for comfort and features. Sorry for my english in advance.

I sadly found out that the KYB JAOS Series kits are being discontinued. I've been waiting for a while and noticed they haven't come back in stock, then finally emailed them to find out. I feel like this was an ideal kit for where I wanted to go.

Purchasing Advice Should I buy a 2013 GX?
I’m looking at buying a 2013 GX460 Luxury Sport w/ 138k miles for $16,500.
My concern is the coolant valley leaks on these things and the KDSS. Should that be enough to deter me?
The owner said the radiator has already been replaced and the frame is in great shape (southern owned).
The overall vehicle is in great shape with good service records.. the only thing truly holding me back is will this possibly turn into a money pit?
I owned a 14’ 4Runner that was fantastic, I just get generally concerned about it being a Lexus and it having more things to “break” on it as well as the premium parts and labor etc.
Am I too in my head on this one?

General Discussion 2004 GX470, down the speaker rabbit hole
I recently acquired a 2004 GX470 with the Mark Levinson system. Front woofers sound fine at low volume but terrible at moderate-high volume. Following my initial research, I was expecting to be facing a re-foam, which I've performed on many speakers. In fact, I was so sure I ordered the foam kit. When I pulled the door card to have a look, much to my dismay a prior owner replaced the original drivers with some non-compatible 4-ohm drivers. So, I have been down the speaker replacement rabbit hole that is the Mark Levinson system. I believe I am settled on the PowerBass OE-690D - Amazon.com: PowerBass OE-690D - 6"x9" 3-Way Speakers 100Wrms / 300Wmax (2-Ohm) - Pair : Electronics. Before pulling the trigger, I thought I'd throw it out to this group. Any experience with this particular driver, other recommendations, helpful resources, etc? All help is MUCH appreciated!
