I've had this for a couple of months now, and I'm loving it!
I decided I wanted a nicer/more reliable vehicle as a daily and occasional wheeler/camper. If you don't know what a GX is, technically it's a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 series (sold globally except the states), but it's basically a nicer 4th gen V8 4Runner with more headroom, which also shares the same platform as the FJ Cruiser.
I was contemplating buying something stock and "building" it myself, but I found a gem that was almost completely built and only had 115k miles. This not only saved me money, it saved me time with not having to wait the current lead times for aftermarket parts. I added up all of the parts the previous owner installed (not all listed below) and it came to just over $15k!
2006 Lexus GX470
4.7L V8 117k miles
2.5" Radflo coil-overs and rear shocks
Total Chaos UCAs
Southern Style Off-Road front/rear bumpers and roofrack
Metal Tech sliders and rear lower links
RCI rear diff skid
Warn winch
Factor 55 Fairlead and Prolink
34x10.5R17 BFG KO2s
FNW wheels
Northstar Group 31 AGM battery
Tuscon 240amp alternator
Extra 12v outlets around the vehicle
Upgraded headlights
PIAA fogs
Heis light bar
Things I've added:
Rear storage/sleep platform build from @overlanderwoodworks on instagram - you should check him out if you're near Orange County, CA
Ironman 4x4 awning
Magnaflow Exhaust
Windshield wipers
Future upgrades:
35x12.5s
Nitro 4.88 gears and a rear locker - Possibly upgrade to the 8.2 rear axle with factory E-Locker, if I can find one at a decent price.
Add a gas can holder to the swing-out
New double-din head unit with reverse camera
