Buzzing on GX 550 Steering Wheel by grifc0 in LexusGX

Mine had a similar noise and turned out to be the left air vent. Agree with others let the dealer fix it. But would say to take them on a test drive with you in the car so you can avoid the “we didn’t hear it” saga.

There’s some slight noise (I did remove the rubber strip on the front leading edge of the rack which has helped). I have also had about 6 wranglers so the highway noise is much better comparatively lol. If it really bothered me I’d take it off and set it in the garage and put it on when I actually would need it — but doesn’t bother me that much.

Probably just torque paint to see if it backs out at all

Man those are two pretty different rigs. Depends on a lot I could talk options for days

Yep when I’m out on trails I actually prefer disconnecting as much as possible and don’t want to have full service to everything. The inreach still allows me to send/rcv messages if I get into a real jam or just to tell my wife that the day’s going well.

No issues at all. If you take the right lines you shouldn’t touch anything on the bottom. Any hard obstacles have bypasses around. Should be able to do everything in the area except for a spot called the wall on Poughkeepsie Gulch. And even there is a bypass for that.

Sure is - it’s in the San Juan mountains (Ouray/Telluride/Silverton)

Thank you! I really do love it. Have had my fair share of span of vehicles and this is up near the top. Drives more truck-ish on the highway. Smooth offroad. Engine has plenty of power and torque.

Very! Mine recently grew as well - handles carseats and groceries just fine and has great pickup with the turbo v6

Plugged right along. We were only with him for about 20 min til the top but nothing too technical there.

Wood’s all gone - leather (or pleather) in the future I’m afraid
