Nomad's Lexus GX 460 - aka - Land Cruiser Prado 150

The GX460 has a 4.6L V8 but you'd never know it in stock form. Is it a Hellcat screamer or Coyote growler? Not really. But I do think it should at least SOUND like a V8.  There's just something about a good V8 sound, not a straight piped obnoxious one, but a well tuned, healthy V8 sound... The GX is whisper quiet in stock form. While I certainly can appreciate the engineer's emphasis on luxury, I'm only here because: "capable offroader with V8" and any luxury is a bonus. I didn't buy this for posh walnut trim and heated and cooled seats... but I ain't complaining! I purchased a Magnaflow #11226 muffler. I could have gotten a slightly longer body version but I'd read several reviews so was confident it'd be ok. Worst case scenario I either weld in the stocker, take it to a pro to redo, or buy an off the shelf bolt on catback system. UPDATE: I recommend a longer muffler body. I should have gone with my gut and gotten a 18" or longer body. Ma...

 Now for the easiest install yet! Husky molded all weather mats. They are made to fit perfectly and not move around much, they even have the mat clip holes and cover the rear center hump. These are mandatory for me as my wife is none too pleased when I come back from a day offroad or after a week worth of hauling the kids all over. The amount of dirt and leaves drug onto the carpet adds up.  These mats are better than even the Lexus versions as the molded shape "catches" the grime and typically keeps the carpets very clean.  I had just ordered the front and rear Husky mats for about $160 online when I saw a local ad for 5th gen 4Runner Husky mats. Well, these are interchangeable with the GX460 so I jumped on it.  When I showed up he gave me the rear Weathertech cargo mat for free!  Sometimes you have a good day.... These scrubbed up factory fresh with dawn soap and a brush. Good to go!
