It was a little bit of a simpler ordering process when I got mine 3 or so years ago, they didn’t have all the options. I went with the medium weight which at the time was around 100 lbs. due to a sleeping platform/drawer system I built. Mine definitely still has a little rake. Pic for reference.

I have had a base level 2” Dobinsons lift on my 2013 for a little over 60k miles. I ordered it from Apache offroad. It has been to N. Georgia countless times, the ozarks and Colorado and Moab. It has served me well...

I agree with Rednexus. I have used synthetic 75w90, both mobil1 and valvoline for the last 70k in the diffs and tc with no issues. I know it’s overkill, but I change them every 25k. I use my rig pretty hard, with multiple off-road trips every year.

@Hiluxforever cut that muffler! I can confirm that it adds no drone or increased noise. Also it looks great. As you can see no muffler to be seen.

I totally agree. A nori green gx550 is definitely in my future in 5 years or so once they depreciate some.

I don’t know why, but I absolutely love atomic silver on these vehicles. I secretly wish my wife’s 2020 was this color instead of white. Car looks awesome by the way.

Done with my off-road trip to north Georgia. Did my normal Georgia traverse stuff plus a new trail called earls ford, which is just outside of Clayton, if you are familiar with the area. Had a blast! Figured out that the GX on 33s is not near as capable as a rubicon on 35s. Here are some...

There is.

When was the last time you did a drain on the coolant? Wonder what the black chunks could be?

Back in the day when I was younger(no kids) and had my track prepped ITR, I would use water wetter but only with distilled water. Can you add it to coolant/antifreeze?

I just installed 285/70/17 that run a little oversized(over 33”) and I installed a very small(8mm) spacer to get the tire away from the UCA. This was on stock gx470 wheels, so same offset as your gx460 wheels. I feel confident you can make this work. I just made a post in the pic thread with...

New wheel and tire setup is officially done. 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson MTZ GX470 wheels refinished with 8mm spacer(to clear UCA) Trim front of side step, fender liner and remove rear mud flaps 2” Dobinsons lift No rubbing and plenty of space between tire and body mount at full lock. Closing...

I don’t remember for sure, but I am pretty certain that there is a rear drain tube that comes out around the rear fender liner towards the back. I’ll try to do some digging and see where I saw/read it.

Started the process of fitting up new wheels and tires. Old setup was 275/65/18 duratracs on stock 460 wheels that I put 70k on. New setup is 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson mtz on stock 470 wheels. Both setups will be on a basic 2” Dobinsons lift. A Small 8mm spacer will be used to give more...

Good to know and these look great. A little off topic, but what other suspension/body mount mods(besides lift) have you done to fit these? I am getting my father in laws brand new Mickey a/t’s in 285/70/17(came on his rubicon) as he is upgrading to 35’s. Putting these on gx470 stock wheels.
