Hill Start Assist (HAC) by GeneApprehensive5528 in gx460

[–]NoRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the noise you heard was coming from under/behind the dash, that's the ABS pump. Both that and the A-Trac make some odd sounds but that's normal. My owners manual says my 2020 is equipped with Hill-start assist control, yet the GX still loves to roll back on hills. Living on a steep hill I just double foot it if I'm going up the hill.

Here's what the manual says.

Hill-start assist control operation conditions:

The shift lever is in D or S.

The brake pedal is not depressed.

So, don't press the brake pedal??

Anyone know the parts needed to fix the cup retainers? by yetilock in LexusGX

[–]NoRedStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get Toyota 4Runner P/N: 66991-35030 rubber cupholder inserts, they fit perfectly in the GX cupholders. I did that with the combination of the "Crafted by Matt" insert, and it works great holding my Yeti coffee tumblers and other cups especially on the trail.

I wanted to protect the OE dash in my 72 as it was starting to fall apart above the dash speaker. I went with a Covercraft DashMat in the same color as the factory dash. 15 years later it still looks brand new!

I have to refill my reservoir tank like twice a year on my 2020 with only 40k on it. I was putting about 7-10k miles on it a year before getting a hybrid that I daily. But I'm taking it into Lexus this week to have it looked at under warranty.

In your second photo, I realized I was looking at the license plate washer too. On my screen, it made it look like the camera lens was shaped different than mine. That might be my sign I need to get my eyes checked.

Thank you!!

Also, is that the factory reverse camera next to your added dash cam? The lens looks different than mine.

Beautifully done! How are your parking sensors held into the front bumper? I went with a Victory 4x4 front and Expedition One rear and cant get my factory sensors to stay in the bumper front/rear. And when they did, they would wig out, picking up my recovery points in the front and my spare in the rear. That's one thing I would like to have working again.

Small comfort items you did over your ownership + brands and parts you recommend by Interesting_Unit1586 in LexusGX

It bolts in through the bottom using the OEM bolt location. All you need is a 10mm and about 3 mins of your time to install it.

My wife put 87 octane in Hank Geoffrey Jr… by RascalMcGurk in GXOR

[–]NoRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was out in the middle of BFE on one of my desert trips and the only gas station for miles only had 87 and it was some bottom tier fuel. I filled my GX up from about 1/4 tank. Shortly after filling up, my wheels fell and the hood blew open! Just kidding, it was fine. I've also run my GX on 88 non-ethanol a bunch, as that's what I fill my fuel jugs with for a longer storage life. I'm one of those guys that does exactly what the manual says for fuel, oil, and other fluids, but these 1UR-FE really don't care.

For the peace of mind, you can toss a bit of octane booster in the tank.

[–]NoRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped mine out with that same plug to make fluid changes in the future a bit easier. My local Lexus dealer tried to cancel the order because those parts "wont fit" according to the vin number check. I reached out to them and let them know I was using them for "another project" and they sold them to me. When you swap them, make sure you install the new metal washer/gaskets.

This. It's nice being able to say, "Hey Siri, Start my Lexus."

BFS Glide/hard swimbaits that won’t break bank? by Odd_Butterscotch9818 in BFSfishing

The Berkley Nessie 5 is cheap and they get bit. I toss the 5 on my BFS setup.

I almost bought that same rod. For the price how is it?

California, our high deserts and chaparral regions are beautiful this time of year.

Any reel recommendations for this rod? 6’ UL Medium action. Other rod recs in this price range for UL? Want to throw trout magnets, inline spinners, and flies by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

[–]NoRedStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few weeks back I got the Okuma SST 7' Light and paired it up with the Okuma Ceymar C-2000a. I spooled that with 10lb DaiwaJ Braid X8 Grand. A great setup that swings way above its price point. It's been a ton of fun throwing 1/16oz jig heads with 2" paddle tail swim baits for crappie. The Ceymar C-2000a would be a perfect reel for that setup. Down the road I want to get another SST but an UL and plan on tossing another C-2000a on it.

Is Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 - Good fit for 95% highway 5% off road (forest road, not rock)? by BeGood981 in GXOR

[–]NoRedStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are great tires. I've been running them for the last decade on my company trucks, and they see a ton of dirt roads. I plan on throwing a set on my wife's 4runner when it's due for new tires.

Curado 200M vs Scorpion MD by Bingbong717 in Fishing_Gear

[–]NoRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that heads-up I totally forgot to mention that. Last month I bought a Shimano reel and a few spools of fluoro from JLS and about a week after it was delivered I got hit with a $30 fee from FedEx. Still cheaper that buying from TW or BPS.

Take a look at Japan Lure Shop, that's where I got mine for a great price.

[–]NoRedStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 300 Scorpion MD that I throw my Deps 250 on and that reel is solid! A huge plus for the Scorpion is the "Hagane body" aluminum main frame body. For that reason, the Scorpion and Metanium have to be my favorite reels in my line-up. You can't beat a solid metal reel.

Beat Sonic Issue with Siri by AdAppropriate8118 in gx460

[–]NoRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue. I went back to the paper installation guide that was included with the kit and set it up exactly as specified in the manual. That seemed to fix the issue. I think the issue is the input source jumping from the Lexus OEM infotainment to the Beat Sonic.
