    We had an NX as well, it was stolen and with the insurance payout we bought what we should have bought in the first place....a GX460. You will pay the same for entry but will pay more in gas. The comfort and convenience will out way the difference. This was a used GX of course but a CPO. (4wd, V8, 3 rows, crazy solid vehicle!)

    Sister wanted a 5th gen 4runner but the gx460 was cheaper and that’s what she bought. I borrowed it for a month to do a west coast trip. Love that suv. Wanted to buy one for my wife but it is a gas guzzler. 15 mpg average. So we going with a Honda Pilot instead. Can use the taco for off road experience.

    but man the Lexus GX460 is a nice car. Loved driving it.

    Done by me: decals, plastidip, and vinyl. More to come. Not done by me: Icon front/rear suspension; Total Chaos UCA’s; Method wheels/34” Falken tires; Prinsu cab rack/LED light bar; V1Air compressor piped to a 2.5 gallon underbed tank; Pelfreybilt front/rear bumpers; Smittybilt front winch.
    Uptop Overland has a rack that mounts just like this for their truss rack, I think a few others may also have something similar.

    Tough to see in the pictures, but put on the black emblem overlays. I like the matte black set off against the glossy paint.

    There are a lot of good reviews about the ride quality of the icon RXT leaf pack but honestly it’s truly mind blowing how good of a ride these created. I had the HD Dakar’s on before. Still need to trim the U-Bolts.

    Before:

    After: Icon RXT Option 1

    I also made a shorter and more compact air line for airing up as the ARB one just took up too much room. Only did this because I made the quick connect fitting in the rear as well so that I can mount the hose on front bumper or rear.

    Wife was gone when I got home so the mistress got to park in the garage for the night. Let’s just say the wife isn’t exactly as caring as I am about keeping the truck warm and safe on these cool fall nights.
