Permatex Gasket Maker - I haven't needed it on the GX, but I used it this past weekend to seal a Chevy Trail Boss differential cover that got caught on a rock and deformed enough to lose all the differential oil. Good list, thank you.

Had my aluminum RCI Offroad Skid Plates (front, mid, transfer) and RSG Metalworks Flat Sliders with Top Plate installed at Saddleback Automotive (Costa Mesa/Orange County). The sliders are a big improvement and I'm currently running them without the trim piece from the OEM steps. If I had to do...

I'm in OC. Let's do that day trip, or an overnight.

Neither - I went with the base 2" kit with comfort valving: Dobinsons GX460 Suspension Kit Ride is excellent on street and off. My adventures are usually slow point A to B in the desert. No regrets.

Questions before I start this project myself: (1) Do you install the sliders without the trim piece in, then re-attach the trim piece. Or does the trimmed piece from the steps go back on before installing the sliders? (2) How do you know exactly where to trim the steps? (A) Remove them...

Thanks. Yes, it does. I found all sorts of conflicting information before I just gave it a try. Even the owner of a local wheel shop told me he had a customer try it with my wheel/tire/oem hitch combo with the results that the customer was unsuccessful and damaged the rim. I had to try it for...

No, your best bet is Treaty Oaks or the Amazon ones linked above. The TOO points are about $125 a pair with the current promotion, but not powder coated. The Amazon ones are $125 but powder coated yellow. Kyle has been helpful to me and others on this forums so I got his.

Not sure if you meant shackles....if you did, these: Van Beest 3/4" shackle 20% Off through 12/4 with code TOO19

Thanks Richard. I gave him a call but apparently they are steel 1/8" and I think those might be a little thin for me. Price was good to go though! Thanks again.

I'm trying to sort out the best Black Friday deals on aluminum skid plates. Anyone have experience with this one? Lexus GX460 Front Engine Skid Plate Also, I'll also be adding a Transfer Case skid, probably from RCI, will I run into issues mixing different brands? Thanks in advance.

Another one for anyone trying to decide on this set up.

I'm interested in the answer as well if anyone knows.

I have Weathertech Digital in the front of my 2011. There was some confusion in ordering as Weathertech's website thinks the 2011 didn't have floor hooks, so I had to order a year that did. Fit is great and no regrets. I have Kagu 3D Maxpider for the second row, just because they were...

FOR CLARIFICATION: "....does fit in a 2011 GX460 spare well without being deflated" In other words, I did NOT need to deflate the tire, but yes, the fit was maxed out.

Posting this because I searched high and low and got conflicting answers. I can now confirm that a Falken WiIdpeak AT3/W P-metric 265/70/17 (31.6") does fit in a 2011 GX460 spare well without being deflated, and I do have the large OEM hitch. It's tight with only about 1/2" clearance between...
