Finally got some (rather poor) photos of the new suspension. To review what I bolted on, refer back to Page: 45, Post #885 in this thread. So far less rub when turning, but haven't stretched them out on any trails yet to see how compression and...

I purchased mine used 7 years ago with a wee bit over 30k on it. From what you just posted, again, personally, I think you're golden. If the price and color makes you happy, pull the trigger.

Since it was a trade in, I have no way of knowing. It has been to Lexus every 5k since new but no mention of tranny service. It does have tow package but looked like all of the jumper harnesses were still in the packaging in the glove box.

My RSG allow for a good foot step, albeit, it's not going to have a factory look. Yeah, those are my 'ol size 11 suntanned paws I'm modeling for reference. The kick-outs are huge.

That's the most actual "step" that I have ever seen a slider to be

This is a nice upgrade, I especially like that some of the modes expose data that isn't normally convenient to view on the GX, like the tilt sensors. Just a shame the last four years of the model run aren't compatible, hopefully they can fix...

I didn't do my first "flush" till over 80k. At 123K, I just had it flushed again with a full service, including having the pan removed. Unless there's been a lot of heavy towing with it, personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

Since you're so deep into this project with the whole front end off, have you considered swapping out to LED's? You already have one light off...

Between changing out my heater hoses, flushing the coolant and fixing the headlight I got to have a little fun. I've had this 4 camera RV / Truck carplay system for a while which makes an amazing BU camera with my trailer. While I had the grill...

Smart. The tesla style screen is had in my GX470 was garbage and the GROM i have in my GX460 is also not that good. That's why I went this way insead: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX1QYDFD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I can say though the latest...

As much as I want to mod the infotainment electronics (and I do it everywhere else)… I have stayed stock to minimize gremlins. 30+ years of IT keeps me wanting to maintain stability even at reduced functionality. Not ruling it out in future but...

Yea, its a nice piece of kit but not for that price. That's a, "I got a bonus" kind of purchase.

No reciprocity with ID I take it? I know I can get the advanced CCW here which gives me more options for anti-freedom states like WA. :rofl:

Haven’t been 4 wheelin’ at all this summer. Just been using Black Beauty to tow our TT around CO. This was a close to home overnight at Chatfield State Park. Hooked up pic is heading back from visit to Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP and stopped...

Nope. California doesn't share anything that's good.

I like that you can customize the display for weather, mileage, etc.

Truck is at Tru to get my BMC.

Yeah, that's why I also have CCW licenses for Utah and Arizona too. CA doesn't play nice with anyone else.

I'd love to go on a Death Valley trip. I'll need to read up on what I can conceal though since well, you know, CA BS regarding the 2A. I dont go anywhere I cannot carry. 🔫

Great write-up so far!

Not to mention how many of those trails are even accessible or are in the same condition as last reported.

Awwww, your just killing a really good story! How big was the fish you caught? Trail stories are like fish stories, they get better with age.
