Traded my 19 Tacoma in for a 15 GX460 with 51k.


*toddler for scale

Immediately put on larger tires and lifted 2" with Bilstein 6112/5160 combo. That was a fun one as the company I bought them from sent a 6112 that was improperly assembled. A new (properly built) coilover was overnighted to me.



This will be my daily driver and hunting vehicle here in CO. I wanted something with a better 2nd row than the taco and the ability to have our family of 4 with the 80lb dog in the back. !st hunting trip is in 2 weeks, I'm going to try sleeping in the back of it and see how it goes.

Thanks!

Even better, it was a 1 owner car from Georgia with service at a dealership every 5k.

Now it gets to follow the proper gx\land cruiser story arc: 1st owner is an upper middle class woman, 2nd owner is a 30 something who is going to take it to heinous places off road.

Longer term I will replace the single use rock sliders (running boards) with rci off-road sliders, might get some aftermarket skid plates just to make oil changes easier, and am considering an exhaust. This is my first V8 and I like how it sounds in the cabin when you get on it. Will have to balance the joy of a V8 exhaust note with noise level when I take it on longer road trips.

Edit to add a little bit better profile shot:

Nice, it looks familiar. Back when we replaced our white 16 gx with a grey 23 gx, I listed the 16 here and a young Aggie flew into Houston from Denver to buy it and drive it home. Iirc it had 103k miles and had only had a couple trips to Lexus for service- door lock actuators, replaced radiator after a slight crack at the neck, and all wheel alignment. The alignment was done about every 25k as it would start pulling slightly, so I did that before adding new tires. Great vehicles.

I read that asterisk as "*toddler for sale"

The trade offs for finding a used GX are getting real.

If he keeps up with these meltdowns over being asked to sit down during snack time, I might pay someone to take him.

I've got a 22 in Claret Mica that I've put 76K trouble free miles on. Best Vehicle I've ever owned!

Just got Black Beauty (2019 GX) a limo tint from Fabian with 30 VLT on the front sides.

This is our third GX (first 2nd Gen). They are such solid vehicles. I'm looking at a white 2023. I'll just add it to the stable.
