the steering wheel and alignment was just adjusted at lexus dealer.
The shaking seems more random at times. Sometimes its between 70-80 mph, other times not.
I also notice my hood vibrating more too.
My passenger seat oscillates slighty at top and headrest on highway when no one is sitting in it. Has done it from day one. Didn't think anything of it originally but now wondering if other GXs do as well due to the BOF structure of our suv.
I will inflate tires to 34 and see if a rebalance helps.
I know other people have had this issue in past threads.

hzhao - When I was researching this mod someone (I can't recall who to give credit) recommended these for added protection and I bookmarked the site. Seems cheap enough to try. I am hesitant to do this mod because when I attempted this on my Benz years ago I ended up with moisture inside the headlights and when it dried I had all these little water marks on the inside of the headlights. Drove me nuts. Please update us after a few rainy days and let us know if the housing remained moisture free. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Universal...272?rmvSB=true

Finally bought the 3rd row rubber mat and rear rubber cargo mat. Also bought the pilers and spanners, etc to complete my tool case. Bought the roof rack cross bars as well. Installed K&N cabin air filter and engine air filters too.

Post some pics and specs on the lift and wheel/tire combo after you lift. What sliders are they and do they have any way to attach the existing puddle lights?

Nickk6: You may force me to prematurely rip off the adjustable shocks, air bags, running boards and tires for all of your off-road upgrades :-)

Thanks guys!

Those are 17x8 FN Wheels with 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler AT.
The sliders are from MetalTech, the OPOR Sliders, I bought them bare and had them powder coated fine textured black.
Lift is a stage 5 icon, it includes rear trailing arms and front upper control arms.
The parts are all for the 4runner with KDSS.

Should be done in the next couple hours, I'll try to get some pictures up this weekend, but the sliders probably won't go on until next weekend.

I think it actually looks better in real life. The bronze and nebula grey go together nicer when you see it in person. Also the alignment looks off, too much positive camber up front. If it wasn't so late I would have had them fix it when I was there. It does ride awesome, much more firm/solid/confident feeling vs squishy oem suspension. I am sure the load range E tires made a difference as well in that.

Looks great. What was the net lift front and rear? Any pics from the side?
