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…

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.

Purchasing Advice Looking for a good deal

3 Upvotes

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.

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

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 GX470 Vibration Question

Post image
2 Upvotes

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!

Tried using my Launch diagnostic tool to set the blinker flash to 3x. Couldn’t find a setting. Anyone done this? Can it be done via techstream? Not paying the dealer to do it.

Hello, I bought an updated grille to replace the one on my 2016 GX 460 and have noticed that my emblem has the crash detection sensor. My question is, will this give me any issues when replacing the grille? I havent been able to find a single tutorial where they have this emblem. Thanks!

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?

Purchasing Advice Should I buy a 2013 GX?

1 Upvotes

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?
