The GX adventure is over. It was a great truck for the 6 years I had her, on to new adventures.

I’m in the middle of a move, so probably on hold for another 30 days! Life gets in the way of all of them.

A year later i finally got around to building a better crossmember for the TC. Now to build some proper skid plates reaching that far back.

Finally put in some proper rear bumps. Much more plush.

I wasn't sure how I would handle these until I saw what Nate from Dirt Lifestyle did on his LX450, using a stud welder to make some small filler plates, tack them in place, then finish weld, prep and paint, absolutely worked wonders. Next to ditch the 2 tone look when I get some proper fenders...

awesome

That last pic was before the case was in, this is after, you can see how much I had to open the tunnel to fit the full shifter. You can also see a sliver of the block off plate I had to make for the top of the crawl box.

You do not need to drop the transmission, you can pull the transfer case out the bottom. For the levers, I just cut 3 straight pieces of 1/2 steel rod. I have been too lazy to make knobs for them yet. I have them mounted in the front shift location, which is why I can essentially use the...

Not bad at all, I dropped the tank, which was worth while to get a chance to clean up there, that being said, I may cut any access panel anyway, for a trail fix it would be super easy if you could just do it by flipping the seat forward and lifting a panel. That being said, they don't go out...

Missed the relic ride because I had to drop a new fuel pump in, but she has tackled all the D’s in uwharrie this season.

Yeah, I think the reason a lot of people do the two tone look is because the metal underneath was obviously not designed to be seen. The prado (international market) had an option for no flares, and those didn’t have the weird indent for the flares. That being said, McQueen has a front ‘glass...

Most likely cause of this problem is the coupler between the trans and the T-case. It's easy to crack when pulling a t-case, but it's not always visible without a close inspection, but when the shafts turn they have enough force to open up that crack and let the shafts spin. Causing the exact...

Nevermind, just found it, I should be able to make it up for at least a day, probably the weekend.

Got a link? I haven't heard about it, but I should be available then.

Short answer, yes vertical is better(ish) Long answer. It gets complicated quick, first things first, a shock will perform best if it is tuned for its usage. Motion ratio just refers to how much the shock moves compared to how much the hub moves. In front (IFS) you generally have around a...
