Im just gonna dona quick rant here. TX is the second biggest state. Yet has the least available public use lands. Please find a state next year with free off road public use. As a former texan, f texas

ya i went ahead and ordered it all. Looks like with that Ratha hd hinge it should be easy to remove when not on a camping trip. Can't wait to get it all installed!

I'm going to have to sleep on it. I could probably do without a swingout as this is just a daily, and light overlanding rig. The rebuilt JK goes all of the hard stuff

Will definitely be having him do the welding. I own a welder, but really I've only ever spot welded, and it was for this GX470 rebuild project. Don't yet trust myself to do anything structural. Considering the swing outs as well since I can save on shipping and it says he'll weld it to the...

Thanks for the pics! I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on these Ascend bumpers. Any advice for the install?

That etching process is similar to what I did to line with the POR kit. It helps to apply the etching and then wrap it with foil or shrink wrap. At least that's what the instructions mentioned. But only called for leaving it on for 20 minutes or so

no idea about the area but they're all likely to be high. it's not labor intensive per se, but it is a long job with a lot of parts to remove. There's some very good yt vids out there and can easily be done at home.

Diy. It's my first time painting anything! All in my build thread over on tundras. I got the bumpers primered last weekend. Hoping to get the body primered this weekend. Using an ANI Compact LVLP spray gun and a 26 gallon harbor freight compressor This is basically the last thing I need...

I'm in no rush. Atm I'm in the middle of doing a full color change paint job on the GX. Going to TRD Pro Lunar Rock!

Awesome! I'm eagerly awaiting the install. I'm likely to buy the same rear bumper in the near future.

Not sure but XAT is another option. They posted a while back about releasing header, full exhaust, and a supercharger kit this year

DT headers for the GX470 are discontinued. You'll be lucky to find a pair

smack the starter with a hammer. That solved my starter issue on the JK like 6 months ago and it hasn't happened since lol

Curious about the alternator also. Just because mine had intermittent electrical issues for a while then just died on me in the middle of traffic at rush hour a few months back.

I got reman GX460 calipers from Advanced Auto. No issues.
