Ha! Yeah, that’s a much better idea.

I wanted to update here: I have installed two pairs of DD SS3 Pods in the fog location. The performance is great. The fitment was tricky. I have yellow SS3 Pro fog lamps inboard (and slightly forward) of white SS3 Pro driving lamps outboard in the sets. Fitting one set was easy. Fitting...

I finally picked up a new set of tires and got them mounted up in preparation for a cross-country road trip. I went with LT275/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on my OEM rims with the stock suspension. Spare fits in stock location TLDR; They fit with a front fender liner push. No rub on the UCA or...

Likewise. Great service and communication, even when these were back ordered for a while. He sent emails updating me on when other orders in the queue were going out, trying to estimate when mine would ship. Great stuff.

Solid hardwood or nothing, for me! Also, I am never using bubinga again. The grain flipping in that is a bitch. Next up is the rear hatch overhead fixture for my table light, then the rear drawers. Going solid cherry on those to match the rear hatch table.

I decided to address my busted cupholder and continue on my path to becoming The Woodgrain Warrior. I'm just going to see how much of my interior I can customize using hardwoods. This is a bubinga cupholder insert with tiger flake shellac on it. I whiffed on the colormatch, but this is what I...

Only way to know is to force it! If it works, great! If it breaks, you know not to do that, and you can have mine that I took off to put in my Diode Dynamics LED Pods.

Well, we're almost split with the one "keep some and ditch some" vote being mine... So this has, at least, reaffirmed the split thoughts that I have found elsewhere in my research. I think it may come down to noise mitigation. I'll probably run some tests and see if there really is a...

I've heard mixed things on this: So how many of us are keeping our engine covers versus ditching them for accessibility? Are you keeping all 4 plastic covers, losing all 4 plastic pieces, or using some combination of them (such as ditching the fuse box cover side and front panel, while keeping...

I'm just here in appreciation of the clickbait-y title. Well done.

You've done the regular maintenance stuff. Aside from those and fluids, that covers most preventative work on the GX. I agree that a SAIS bypass is a good recommendation. That's really the only "time bomb" with the GX that I can think of, that you can't see coming. If you really want to get...

Everything MrTorgue said +1. The most important thing, obviously, is the integrity of the frame and the drivetrain. After that, the details kind of depend on how/if you plan to modify it. KDSS is a great system, but can limit suspension options if you plan to go high. If you don't plan to...

My Dometic CFX3 55im Fridge/freezer arrived and works great off the Blue Sea panel in the back. Next step is swapping the starter battery for a X2 AGM, and then building some drawers and a proper enclosure for the fridge. Between trips, it'll be a backup chest freezer for the house.

Everything else was pretty simple, I agree. It's a good kit. The only other problem I had, which I think was specific to my truck and why I didn't mention it, was the skid plate. It's my understanding that the skid plate has small hooks on the front edge that allow the skid plate to swing...

I added Apex Overland recovery points to the front. I know there is dispute as to the viability of the factory hooks on the front, but I subscribe to the "tie-down" camp and want something strong enough for hard pulls. The melted pit under the truck made it easier, but also wet and cold to...
