Lexus Kits Out New GX and LX SUVs for SEMA

Lexus is getting in on the overlanding trend just in time for this year’s SEMA Show, bringing a number of modified 4x4s to the Vegas convention center. The mix of GX and LX SUVs feature a ton of parts that Lexus owners can order for themselves, hinting at what we might soon see out on the trails.

The all-new 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail+ AAP is the most exciting of the builds, constructed using a number of the brand’s Associated Accessory Products. Right away, you’ll notice the truck’s bespoke two-tone paint job, which gives the SUV a thoroughly modern and high-end appearance. The beefy 18-inch wheels and 33-inch tire combo is retained from the stock truck, as are the black overfenders. Other standard GX equipment includes a large aluminum skid plate, as well as all-weather floor liners to protect against sand and mud. A set of genuine Lexus rock rails have been installed to help in tricky sections, while a branded on-board tire compressor makes airing back up a breeze. Any overland rig needs to have some storage solution, with this GX employing a Prinsu Roof Rack with Pelican storage cases. The truck also features a set of roroPax two-gallon cans, as well as ARB Tred Pro recovery boards and a DMOS Delta shovel should things go sideways.

The Lexus crew wasn’t limited to using new products for their SEMA builds, allowing for a serious amount of mods to be done to this 2022 GX 460. The build starts with an upgraded set of 18-inch wheels wrapped in 34-inch Toyo Open Country A/T rubber. A set of CBI Offroad rock sliders work in tandem with a series of underbody skid plates to help the newly wrapped bodywork safe. Bright yellow is an aggressive choice for a large SUV, particularly when you look at Lexus’ factory color palette. The build also features a Prinsu roof rack, which comes equipped with a Kammok hammock stand, and a 10-foot double hammock. An ARB fridge/freezer combo will keep all of your essentials chilled down, and they won’t slide around thanks to the bespoke mounting hardware. Recovery hardware includes items like a portable ARB air compressor, a Weekender Recovery kit, and recovery boards from Tred.
