New Lexus GX Overtrail Looks Really Good With JAOS Off-Road Goodies
If you’ve attended SEMA in recent years, or even just looked at coverage online, you’ll have noticed that the aftermarket show has been overrun by overlanding and off-road builds based on pickup trucks, SUVs and even small crossovers. The Tokyo Auto Salon is a similar story. For this year’s Auto Salon, Lexus brought an example of the redesigned GX 550 kitted out in parts from JAOS, a company that has been around since 1985 and most recently fielded an LX in last year’s Baja 1000.
The JAOS show truck is based on the GX’s Overtrail trim, which is the most off-road-ready model you can get from the factory. It’s fitted with a JAOS Battlez lift kit consisting of titanium-infused springs and Harmofleq adjustable dampers, and the 18-inch bronze JAOS wheels are shod in Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires.
