Well... some not so good news. After trying to get this done, the shop (who shall remain nameless) totally misrepresented what they were going to do. The welder said he had about 6 hours into it and then they brought out a bar that looked like the worst welds I have ever seen (and I am a 35+...

will it fit a wine bottle... actually not joking (some of our shorter excursions might include driving to see friends with a bottle)

Today's progress... The recovery points are mounted on the frame and we are attaching the brush bar to those (they will be bolted onto the recovery points so the bar can be removed to repaint, etc as needed). The bar is tacked into position and still making some bends and adjustments. It...

We actually like it a lot. Like any of the lighter trailers, it has some cheaper construction, but functionally it works great. We have to keep an eye out for "opportunities" to improve on the workmanship at the factory (resealed a few things, etc). We looked at a lot of the smaller ones, but...

We tow a 19 foot travel trailer, mostly flat stuff but we have towed over the pass with it. It's close to 4300# and it does "fine" for us. I put in the 6500# OEM hitch and I run redline in my diffs and transaxle and engine oil and try to keep from trying to do anything too crazy. I have a...

I might even do something along these lines...without the top hoop (I can always add it later if I want).

that's pretty wild...I don't know if I can get away with the external mounted rifle case in town, but was thinking more like this one...

Thanks, I do like that victory blitz and also the CBI unit...I was just trying to be honest with myself this time and didn't feel I needed a heavy front bumper (and this will be removeable if I totally mess up). I love some of the Arctic truck bars and that is what got me wanting to do this...

I am finally going to tackle having a bumper bar/light bar built for my 460, since there are no decent commercially available options. I anticipate some will say it's a "damage multiplier" and that's ok, but hopefully we can agree to not agree on that one. I had a basic Westin bull bar on my...

thanks for the help guys, I will order that p/n for the crawl control but do I need a module for the MTS?. When it gets here, I might be back here to review the "paperclip method" of calibrating

What a great write up...this is why I love this site. Of all the social media and crap on the internet, this GX section of IH8MUD (and ordering from Amazon...and wine) is helping me cope with Covid. Anyway, I am hoping to add MTS and Crawl to my 2017 Luxury (with the airbags removed and...

That is really nice of you... Not sure I would put those types in (I have that type on my trailer door and they have the large flange on the inside), but give me some time to think it over. If I do it, I can do more than just shipping though. Thanks again... time and time again, GX folks are...

thanks guys... yes I do like the paddle style latches and I had the same thought and am going to shorten the drawers a bit to give some hidden storage behind the second row seats. Maybe I can find some powder coated versions of those latches

So sorry it has taken me this long on this one... But it looks like I am finally taking out the third row seats this next week and having someone that has cabinet making experience help me cut/assemble the plywood (actually straight/square) and then we should have drawers in the next couple of...

Thank you all for the help... I don’t think I can ask for any more help in this forum for quite some time
