Roody’s 2018 Lexus GX460 Build, Adventure, and Hooniverse Podcast

Very nice! I’ve heard only good things about the RT Trails. How many miles did you get out of the K02s? I’m considering the K03’s as my next tire.

 

Thatll look awesome. I have been thoroughly impressed by my skinnies. Im really not sure I want to go with 35s but if I did it would 100% be 255 85 17 or 35 10.5 17

 

I put the KO2s on 3/2024 at around 35,700 miles. The GX only has 39,700 on it at this writing. I WFH and drive press cars a lot so mileage on the GX is pretty minimal. The KO2s have shown very, very little wear (as they should given the mileage) but I do think the Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs that were on the GX prior showed even less wear over the same mileage. The KO3 seems like a great tire (albeit heavy), I don't doubt I'll try it out at some point.

That's the crossroads I was at. The only 255/85/17 is the Mickey Thompson, and going up to the 35x10.5s likely means some cutting/trimming/reworking of things to make it fit without issue. But agreed, I love skinny tires. The first set of them I had was 255/85/16 KM2s on a 4th gen 4Runner and it had me sold on them.

 

Makes sense!

I will likely be joining the GX family soon because we’re planning on getting a ‘22 or ‘23 460 for the wife sometime in the next month or so. Your build has definitely been an inspiration along the way!

 

Thanks-- the GX is a great platform and going with the updated infotainment is definitely the way to go if you can swing it financially

 

Yeah that’s exactly why we’re looking at the 22’s and 23’s and not the 2021. Initially we were looking at the new Land Cruiser’s but they are way too expensive for what they are, in my opinion. I’d rather have the old reliable V8.

 

I think the price is justified for the 250, but that's a story for another day
