Is your truck still for sale? Thanks, Ted in NC

Putting a feeler out for a GX460 2010-2013 pre-facelift Low miles Prefer base but would consider other trims Prefer stock but would consider minimal mods (Roof Rack, sliders, NO lift) Open to color, white preferred Southest vehicle, no rust Excellent documented service history

Installed a set of Scheel-mann Vario XL's in my FZJ80. Very good, not perfect. Night and day better than the OEM seats. I am 6'6' - 220. Happy to have you stop by and try them out. Can meet at one of the monthly gatherings.

Replaced the OEM stereo head unit with a Sony XAV-9000ES. Also added a set of door mounted tweeters (Focal TWU 1.5) using the 3D printed mounts offered by Solve Function. The head unit is great, but the addition of the tweeters really transforms the soundstage of the vehicle. Highly recommended!

Many thanks for the words of encouragement. I really enjoy doing this kind of stuff; all it takes is time. Right now spare time is in limited supply...

Have you found a vendor/manufacturer for the seals? Do you have any for sale right now or a prospective ETA?

Second. Update when you can. Thanks!

Many thanks Jim. I appreciate the referral. -T

Any update on this project?

Strongly recommend C & C automotive in Durham. The owner, Charlie, knows his stuff and runs a tight shop. He has repaired my older '95 Lexus of a mystery bad cylinder after others had given up (bad ECU, and he knew a guy who could repair it - part is unobtainium). Has also worked on a variety...

Where did you install the Kicker Key 200.4 amplifier? Thanks!

Not the cheap or OEM option, but I am 6'5" and Scheel-mann Vario XL seats have made the truck much more pleasant to drive. Many threads on this option.

I have a LRA 38 gallon main tank. Does not interfere with sliders. However, installation required removal of the aftermarket (Crusin' Offroad) skidplate. OEM plate was re-installed without issue. The larger main tank hangs about one and half inches below the rails, so serious rock crawling...
