    Hey Guys ,
    I am writing here because I am desperate.
    I have a 2016 GX 460 and I installed a full set of OME BP51. They are fine when is warm but anytime the temperature drops below 32 degree the trucks turns into a bucket full with bolts. Clunking from the front shocks is killing me. ARB recognized that they have a cold temperature problems but so far they keep giving me and a lots of guys with L200 the same answer. We are working on it.
    Please dont take this as a crying session but I am at a point where I avoid taking anyone in the truck.The worst part is that I already sold the oem setup and cant return back unless that cheap.

    My question is,
    Anyone else have these installed and, or, experience the same ?? Based on what i read the only difference between the Tacoma and the Gx is the shimming.

    Thank you

    So let me get this straight. You came on tacomaworld.com in the 3rd Gen tacoma section and are asking about your Lexus that has problems? Anyways, I have BP-51s on my Taco and they work awesome, no problems in cold weather in Washington.

    Yes, I came on Tacomaworld. I have a Tacoma and a Tundra aslo. I asked the question because, believe me or not , beside the shocks shims and spring weight, the rest of the suspension is the same. The GX is a glorified Prado 150 that use the same parts as 4Runner and 3rd gen Tacoma.
    Thank you for replying. Happy that yours are working fine.
