Default Worked up an Order for Lexus Parts

I just discovered that none of my replacement parts for my 2004 GX470 will work on my "new-to-me" 2019 GX 460. I put together a list of parts (about $200 worth) for an on-line of windshield wipers and brake pads.

Thank you for the tip. Mine 2019 is still under warranty as well. Definitely work checking.

GX failed the stupid Texas state inspection today for a faulty e-brake. I did the rear brakes not too long ago, so I took it home and played with the star wheel and it still will roll slightly.
Pretty sure they've never checked the e-brake on any of my vehicles but this was the year for it I guess.

Too hot here in Houston to fool any more with it so it's going to the local Lexus indy on Wednesday.

Purchased my 22 GX back in Dec of last year and finally got around to installing tints:
  • Llumar IRX Ceramic 25% (front two)
  • IRX Ceramic Airblu80 (front windshield)
  • Skyline Tints (Springfield, VA)
  • $450 - Lifetime Warranty

Looks great, I just picked up my GX from the tint shop today. I had my fronts and the sunroof done in 20% ceramic tints. I also talked to a wheel powder coating shop near at the same complex trying to get my wheels powder coated to your color.

Looks great, I like that camera allot more than Bobs setup under the bumper. How’s the image look through the tint? With all these idiot drivers around me I’ve been thinking of adding one to my rig. What camera system did you end up going with?

The view is clear through the tinted rear glass, I have a Thinkware Q800Pro Dual cam setup, its only 2k forward, but image quality is great, no issues. I'll get a screenshot from the front and rear view. Still playing with the rear alignment to avoid the "heater" line

Default Replaced brakes and added MTS and Crawl control to our new to me 2017 base






Swapped stock brake pads and rotors due to slightly warped rotor and 55k on pads. Went with EBC .
Added crawl control and mts after reading the post here. Couldnt pass up the plug and play upgrade.
This will be my wifes daily and my project. Added some Husky floor mats and ordered a new sunvisor for driver side. Will stay like this for a little while then may add lift and tires.

Towed a 6x12 U-Haul over the mountain and came way too close to empty! Computer said that I had 6 miles left!! Hate towing in the mountains without brakes on a trailer. The GX did great though, it even turned 150k on the trip. If you didn’t know what year it is, you’d not know by looking at it.

Finally fitted and adjusted the Yakima cross bars, yes they are wider than GX, but we will carry 2 tandem Kayaks
