Yeah…fantastic scenery, great weather in the high 70s, and the obstacles were great. Trip turned out perfect and I was driving 80 mph (speed limit in Utah) coming home and drove straight as an arrow and purred like a kitten….well…other than all...

Gemini Bridges and Four Arches trails to complete my 5-day trip to Utah Here’s a compilation video made by iMovie

Yesterday did chicken corners trail

Completed poison spider and a bonus section of golden spike (the launching pad)

Probably the most heads my GX has turned to date! All-in was towing at least 5,800# - for 3 hours each way. Twisty 2-lane roads with big hills and some 4-lane highway. I definitely felt the weight behind me, but the rig still had plenty of...

I was hung up on my driver’s side rock slider and was in a bad line. But, yeah, I only needed a tiny pull

Getting ready for Moab…I heard that a front camera is very useful on the Moab trails especially when you are seeing sky… I’m not ready to install wires so Im experimenting with this Insta360 X5 camera mounted on my front bumper and live...

I forgot to mention that I got winched from the recovery points that came in my Restless Offroad front bumper. I’m glad I reinforced the bumper with the Goliath Recovery Point Bracket and bumper support. Bumper was secure and I was confident...

So Gloria received a few bits and bobs this past weekend to get her just a bit taller and ready to conquer the strip mall parking lots. Up front, she got a set of Dobinsons C59-302 to pick the nose up by about two inches. These are on previously...

And don’t forget to carry spare bolts, nuts, and bushings for various suspension components. They seem to disappear sometimes on hard trails

Had to be winched at the V-Notch…the last obstacle and hardest obstacle at the Miller Jeep Trail…but made it without any injuries

Well…I decided to go with the metal 3.5” diameter pipe 12” long and the silicone 90* elbow… I went for it because I realized there were a lot ways water can penetrate the cut up wheel liner. When you get under there, you can see the cut up...

It might also be a good idea to put some loctite on the bolt. I've never had one pop out. I use loctite on the LCA , UCA, and panhard bar bolts, but have not used it previously on a shock bolt. I might next time.

Bolts and nuts seem like good spare parts to carry for trail fixes. I lost the top nut of my rear icon shock and now I carry a spare nut and bushings. Also, I carry large bolts and nuts that hopefully fit the lower shocks and/or lower rear arms...

Everyone here is aware of how terrible the interior pull handle is on the barn door and just how flimsy/brittle it can be. I had some flat stock laying around and whipped up a little something to remedy the issue. Finish is some rattle can bed liner.

Woke up in Zion National park for my 55th birthday!

You keeping the 8.0? If you are going through the effort of a re-gear and locker, I would strongly (no pun intended) advise an 8.2 swap instead with 4.56 gears (this is the highest aftermarket gearset offered for a 8.2). By far the best money...

34s are supposed to be not as bad as 35s like you can keep your fender liners to protect the air intake opening, but require BMC, require hammering the pinch welds, and more hammering and trimming. And yes, the more negative the offset, the more...

I was running 285/70R17 Nitto ridge grapplers without a BMC and no rub. However, I was on 3.7* caster with total chaos UCAs and no front sway bar on 17x9 -12 wheels and later 17x7.5 zero offset wheels. No rubbing at all. But hen I went 34s and...

Well…I changed my mind. I put back the stock rubber end cap and covered it with a water/dust sock. I still have 75% of my wheel liner in there to protect against water splashes The water sock is also called a pre filter that’s dust and...

Hidden snorkel going in. I hope this works. At first I tried a 4” diameter rigid metal pipe with a 90* silicone elbow (4” to 3.5” elbow), but that didn’t fit. So, I took the stock factory rubber intake end and cut the end and attached it to a...

Just so you know, the gx470 front IFS reduces your droop (downtravel) for every inch you lift (increases uptravel that you can’t use). Lifting the front 2 1/4” with aftermarket shocks and removing the front sway bar gives you the best front...

Thanks! I still need to cut and hammer things in the back of the front wheel well…it still rubs

Big Bear Camping…got a little rain and some cool weather while it was close to 100F back home

Decided to shop off the resonator for clearance purposes I can’t tell much difference in sound
