My new Lexus GX470

Some stock off road pics of my GX!

Here when I start to add the tires, rack, ladder, and sliders.

Cruiserhead · 11-19-2008, 09:42 PM

looking good!
look forward to your buildup, there are not many GX's that exploit the true capability offroad. You will be one of the few!
I'm jealous!

Any current pics of the Lex? New tires, lift, etc?

BF Goodrich Mud AT km 255/75R17 LT

Tires install 2/16/09. Plan on installing Daystar spacer 1.5 and adjusted the rear height sensor 1/4 inch.

Lexwoody · 07-15-2009, 10:34 AM

A little update. Just add the steel FJ wheels I got from Brent. Thanks.

Don't mind the date on the pics. Just took them this morning.

Photog · 07-15-2009, 11:44 AM

It looks great with those wheels.

What suspension is in your Lexy? Are you planning any type of spring/shock replacements?

I think I'm going to keep the rear air bags, adjust height sensors, and change out the shocks for OME's. still thinking about the coilovers. maybe OME's because of the price.

Unionjack · 07-15-2009, 09:21 PM

Nice, I like the combo.

Lexwoody · 11-04-2009, 12:17 PM

My list

1.) ARB Prado winch Bumper #3421110
2.) OME Suspension
Front: 886 Coils, N140s
Rear: 897 Coils, N142
3.) Spring seat for Rear Coils
4.) FP430 - EdgeStar Portable Fridge / Freezer - 43 Qt.
5.) Budbuit (complete Set)

MCL_68 · 11-04-2009, 03:24 PM

That's a nice shopping list,can't wait to see it when your done.

Scot45 · 11-05-2009, 10:42 AM

Dude you really need a full set of skids, more than about anyone I know. Woody wheels the LX harder than most jeep guys wheel their jeeps. Let me know when you want to install the bumper.

Ludedude · 11-05-2009, 11:24 AM

If these trucks didn't drag their bellies around so close to the ground, the need for skids would be less.

And don't get me wrong, I love my 4R but if there's one glaring fault I can point to, that's it

Good looking truck Woody. Nice to see someone using a Lex like that.

Lexwoody · 11-05-2009, 08:30 PM

I finally installed these LCD TV's after sitting in my garage for months. Sunvisor are 7" wide screens and the 2nd row is a 15" screen. I also have a 30g iPod action as my dvd player and a Video amp to help the picture show clearer with the single feed iPod.

I'm also going to put cams on both side of my truck to help me see my blind spots and feed them to the sunvisors. I have another 7" that I'm going to mount to the dash some where to show front and rear too.

WillRunner05 · 11-05-2009, 08:36 PM

Nice Build Woody!! Ever since I saw your GX at Hollister last spring, I've been becoming more and more interested in them!!!

Lexwoody · 11-06-2009, 01:20 PM

Edgestar 43qt fridge just came. Took 5 business days from Texas.

the_josh · 11-07-2009, 03:23 AM

Right now I have tie cords from The handles to the cargo latches.

walterGT67 · 11-09-2009, 07:54 AM

Very nice ride..

Definitely over the top..

Great job..

Lexwoody · 11-15-2009, 08:24 PM

Took me a total of 8 hrs to do it. So this is what a lifted GX looks like.

Still thinking on what to do with that bottom plate.

Unionjack · 11-15-2009, 08:39 PM

Nice one Woody, looking good.

Do you think the rear will droop so far that the coil may move? I think that bracket you commented on, in another thread, looks like a good idea. Some insurance.
