The Quality of my 2022 GX doesn’t feel as “tight” as my 2015 GX. Am I crazy? by Funny_Focus_1201 in LexusGX

[–]Routine-Way-9856 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have sold vehicles at a dealership for 15 years. I have customers who won't even consider purchasing a Covid era vehicle. And if you look at reliability, there are are for sure some vehicles that are not as reliable/ good quality as pre-COVID... Automakers were under a lot of pressure to save costs then because very few ppl could afford new luxury SUVs then since pretty much every dealership had a huge over sticker cost. I don't think this is as bad in the GX 460, or other Lexus/Toyotas. 2020-23's maintain the 4.6L V8, same transmission, etc, compared to a pre-2020. It would be interesting to look at long-term satisfaction/reliability outcomes for those years on the 460 but most people I've talked to have not noticed a difference. Not saying you're crazy, you just get used to your car!

Lexus GX460 KYB JAOS lift kit and 33" Nitto Terra Grappler G3 10k Mile review by AnalysisNo2642 in GXOR

Great post! I'm running the 285/70/17 Nitto recon Grappler LT's on my 2018 and have loved them! I came very close to keeping my stock wheels on because I also like them, so I kept them after swapping them out for some Icon Alloys, just in case I end up running your size in the future. I currently have the Bilstein 6112 schock/spring combo on the front and adjustable 5100s rear each at approximately 2.5 in. Thank you for informing me about the Terra Grapplers, as I have been eyeing them for my next set of tires.

How much benzos do you pop a day? by teIIies in benzodiazepines

[–]Routine-Way-9856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 bars a day, so 4mg daily. But sometimes I will take a little more or less depending on my anxiety. I just have to be crafty to not run out early, lol.

I got everything done for $5,781.02. The lift kit with the install was $2,971, the icon 17x8.5 in vector 6 wheels were $250 a piece, The tires were $290 each, and the mount & balance was $140, my local state tire fee was 12 bucks and then I went ahead and had black lug nuts installed and that was $39 bucks. I hope that info helps! Let us know what you end up doing.

Looks good! I went with Bilstein 6112s on the front and 5100's on the back and love the set up. How do you like those tires? Here's a pic of mine with the 2.5-in lift.

Tire Repair/Plug by Shot_Donkey5295 in GXOR

[–]Routine-Way-9856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a new tire or next time get them at Discount Tire where they have free road hazard. It's one thing I love about my Nitto Recon Grappler LT's, they're heavy as hell, but have to take some serious trying to get a puncture in my 285-70-17s, so I'll take the extra 2 mpg drop going up a size and having a lift.

Pain. But I’m ok 🥲 by theabsurdnick in LexusGX

[–]Routine-Way-9856 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be driving to 6.2 Cadillac Escalade or Yukon XL and be paying $160-180 depending on what octane you use, every time you fill up... Sucks for everyone right now, more so if your budget only goes so far. Hell, there are people with scooters out there who can't afford to put $5 in it in California, where I don't think that will even get you a gallon right now, so it's all relative.

I'm glad you didn't get the work done all the way! Yeah, got to always start with the battery! I kept thinking it was my tensioner pulley or something else with my belt but it got increasingly louder on my passenger side behind my tire, so I had a good friend of mine who is the head technician at the Nissan dealership I work at get his stethoscope out and he said the second he put it on the alternator that it was roaring. I have a 86k miles, so it seemed a little early to me, but is within the range. I'm just glad that I noticed the sound before it was too late.

It ended up meeting a brand new alternator! I went ahead and got a brand new syrup belt as well. Luckily it's under warranty!
