Default Hello Club Lexans...or something like that

I purchased a 2010 Lexus GX460 (with 112k miles), in the Fall of 2020. Black Onyx w/ Sepia Leather With: Convenience Pkg, Comfort Pkg. & Navi. It has a tow hitch, and exhaust tip. It came with a Lexus brand black rubber mat.
I have been a Toyota & Lexus Owner. I traded aLexus RX330 on the GX.
The vehicle had a few owners, and looked in good condition.
I love the size, power and 4WD reputation. I have added a Mocha WeatherTech mats to keep it clean when the weather gets nasty.
I am looking for tips and advice. I plan to service the vehicle at my Lexus dealership as I did before with my RX330.
One upgrade planned is for the Navigation update. I have been seeking some storage solutions for center console and glove box.
I had a 100k service done at the dealership just after purchasing.
Currently, I have some issues/problems with the vehicle.
1) The Glovebox will not stay closed.
2) My car has a whine or noise with its interior fan. It whines at the middle or higher speeds.
3) The outside wind noise is loud and noticeable at anything over 35 or 40 mph. I'm thinking its either a bad windshield or it needs door sealant or some additional material around the door windows
Any assistance or suggestions is welcome. THANKS.

2010 GX460

New to the GX platform. Picked up a 2021 in white with black interior Thursday. Currently on a road trip in the mountains with it - very impressed with the handling in snotty weather.

Got rid of an ES to have more room for the kids that are almost grown. Will be the wife's daily driver. I have a 2020 Tundra TRD Pro for me. Already happy to have something else to take on road trips, especially if the weather is bad or includes offroading.



Look forward to learning more about this SUV from you guys.

Hey everyone, most of you know me by GX*BOB on youtube.
I've had 5 Lexus GX's ranging from 2008 all the way to 2017. My prized position is a 95 Lexus SC400 that has been in many car shows but now i'm more of an SUV person.
My current ride is a 2017 white exterior, dark brown interior base model with no bells or whistles. The base model allows me to pretty much install everything myself.
I'm a hands-on dude and hate to pay someone to work on my car.

Hello folks, I've been a long time guest and just bought a GX based largely on info from here. Thanks!

My GX won't be here until 2/1, but already ordered the Daystar 2.5" spacer lift and plan to put 275/65R18 Terra Grappler G2s (216110) on the factory wheels. The J150 platform is perfect for my needs over the next 5-10 years.

1, 2021 Premium
2. Nightfall-Mica Blue exterior with grey wheels, Sepia interior
3. Navi, standard audio ...
4. Tow hitch, park assist, ventilated seats, heated 2nd row, heated steering wheel, heated wipers, headlamp washer, LED lights, remote start with Lexus-Enform

suspension and tires are very personal.
if I was in the market for an aftermarket suspension I'd take a real hard look at ironman cellfoam, ome, and radflo... active offroad bumpstops have been a nice ride quality improvement day to day for us as well with the stock suspension. we love the wildpeak at3ws we just installed...
choices...

Agreed ride is personal. I would give a big +1 for Ironman cell-foam 2.5" lift. Works well firms up ride but parking lot speed bumps can be taken at speed, handled well, and teeth not jarred, like riding in a Lexus..
