Looking for knowledge from previous Lexus GX470 owners or builds.

I'm new to Overland Bound (see my post in new member forum). I hope the mods will forgive if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I know there are a few Lexus GX and maybe Prado owners out there lurking around however I didn't find much in the search function.

I'm working with a bone stock (factory center diff lock, no kdss) 2009 Lexus GX 470. I'm looking to start first with Suspension and Tires and while there are so many different routes I can go with Toytec, Icon, FJ, or 4Runner parts etc.. I want to be sure i'm getting a good foundation for the rig. I am on a budget so I don't plan on going all out but I do what it to be reliable and capable.

Any advice or discussion would be very much appreciated!

Hey how are you. My name is tony. I just purchase a 2005 gx470 and I'm also looking at getting a suspension lift and some other accessories. Let me know if you come up with anything. I will also share any info as will.

This was an old thread from back when I started building. I've pretty much got everything squared away now but I looked at all the options. Check out my build thread or shoot me a message if you have any questions.
