I put Weathertech all weather mats in mine. Made for the GX460 and includes 2 front, 2 rear and cargo liner in back. Had for 5 years now and still good as new. Here is a link for the 2013. You can dial in your year and model.
Hello all, long time Lexus owner and forum member! I recently picked up a '19 GX460. I have always loved how they drive and quite like the size and overall feel. With the threat of the GX changing into something more modern, (I prefer the "older" Lexus feel and technology of these,) as well as large rebates that were in place, I felt that now was the time to do it.
I landed on an Onyx/Black premium package with bench seating equipped with optional extras such as the exhaust tip, tow hitch, door edge guards, and 3M PPF.
Some perks of working for a Lexus dealership, I was able to instantly swap off the silver premium package wheels and Bridgestone Dueler's for hyper silver luxury package wheels and Michelin Latitude tires.
Here she is the day she arrived off of the truck (11/09/2018):
We bought our black/black 2017 with driver support in late November with 20k miles on the odometer. Used DS equipped GXs are very rare in South Florida so we had to get ours from NC.
So far we’ve added MTS, glass break sensor (I need to go back in and increase sensitivity), 3M tint on front windows, all interior and exterior leds, completed the tool set.
AliExpress OBD for auto-fold mirrors is on order. Looking forward to getting the sport tail lights at some point in the near future. I need to inspect the secondary air pump filter and might do the uni-mod soon. Might also add OEM roof RACK cross bars and Thule Motion XT but those are low priority for now.
So far we are really happy with our GX and very grateful for this forum.

Welcome!
You have done a couple of things that I need to do, also. Front window tint and MTS. Where did you purchase the MTS module? Did you install it yourself?

Nice work! Sounds like you've made great progress. My LED's should be here today and I will be swapping the interior dome lights and the running boards lights .

That’s great, it makes a big difference.
The front dome lights can be a pain, I found out after the fact on this forum, you can wrap the bulb with tape to pull them off easier.

Thanks!
I purchased the MTS module from my local Lexus dealer. I paid about 10% more than online but got the part the next day, and peace of mind. I installed myself using the glass break sensor instructions but I’ve seen a post which they recommended using the remote start install instructions. Either one will show the right order to take the panels/glovebox off. The only tricky part was dislodging the knee airbag assembly. It required a bit more force than the other panels.
EDIT: Part number for my 2017 was 859A1-60040. There is a different part number for pre-2014.

All done with the LED swap. It was pretty straight forward. As you said, the bulbs are a bit slippy with bare fingers. I ended up using a table napkin and the plier function of my Leatherman to gently grip the bulb and extract it. Interior took 10 min tops to swap all 6 bulbs. The running boards were a bit more challenging as from my vantage point under the car, you can't see the socket it's going into. The first one took about 10 minutes of finagling to get it back in, but the other three took about 10 min in total once I got the hang of it.
Wanted to introduce myself. Just picked up a 2016 Premium Package in Silver Lining with Black interior. KDSS. No RSES.
One owner lease out of Florida (thus no front plate bracket - dealer owes me this).
Plans:
35% tint (installed)
LED interior and exterior swap (complete)
Dobinson's 50mm front & 45mm rear suspension kit. Comfort valved with KDSS compensation
Relations Race Wheels RR5-V in 20"x9" 0mm
BFG KO2 in 275/55/20
3D Maxpider front and middle row mats
Curt trailer hitch
12v Solutions remote start
Just got out of a heavily modified 2017 Tacoma, and I'm looking forward to keeping this one pretty mild. Took delivery on 2/2 and enjoying every minute thus far. Happy to be a part of the Toyota/Lexus fam still!

Welcome! I'm leaning towards this suspension option as well, but enjoying stock capabilities for the time being on mine. Maybe next year. Looks like you could use a dedicated build thread!
