I was riding dirty, now I’m forced to get an off road jack. Lol that dinky car jack served its purpose, but I need something far better.

Yea, I had 3 trail.related flats last year two of which required off pavement tire changes.

Me too. I’ll let everyone know how it goes sometime this week. Nice weekend otherwise.

My tire was 0psi before my buddy behind me could finish "you killed your tire" on the walkie talkie lol.

Got my first flat on the trail yesterday. Slashed the sidewall as well, but only had plugs. The nice thing about the slash was it wasn’t losing air unless it was at the bottom of the tire rotation. I aired it up and drove down the mountain to a...

The Victory front bumper does have provisions for the parking sensors, but since I was cutting off the whole section of rear bumper that houses them I turned off the system and eliminated the sensors. The front sensors were already pretty janky...

Welcome to the forum! :cheers: Great buildup! That now looks very capable and kick arse on a trail. One thing that you'll eventually need to do, if you haven't already, either redirect your tail pipe or delete the resonator and have the pipe...

my hesitancy with that bumper are the lack of parking sensors. were you able to retrofit them?

And some final shots of the finished product before it went back home! It was fun to do a 460 project like this, as I mostly work on the 470's here. These are nice cars, perfect luxury dual purpose rigs and I totally understand the appeal!

And the last piece of the puzzle arrived. This is the high clearance rear bumper from Nguyen Works that retains the rear crossmember. I stripped everything out of the back end of this car and cut away a lot of low hanging plastic! These bumpers...

Got a set of ARB skid plates installed

The next step was getting this set of rock sliders from Victory 4x4 installed. The built in courtesy lights are a nice touch. The went on pretty smoothly thankfully, I had seen some other threads and videos of poor fitmnet before they revised the...

Wheel and tire setup is Method MR707's in Bahia Blue with some Mickey Thompson 255/85R17 Baja Boss stuffed in there

Since this kit was designed for the 4Runner the resi bracket on the pass side wouldn't work, but after playing around with the positioning for a bit I realized a nice simple hose clamp would work perfectly. After getting the suspension and...

Baja Designs S8 light bar backlighting and corner lights wired into the DRL's Squadron SAE fog lights wired into the factory harness.

I recently finished up a bit of a build out on a 2010 GX460 and wanted to share the process here. This car was dropped off at my little shop completely stock and I worked on it in between other projects coming and going over the course of a...

Work on my truck is done. Picking it up Monday. Very much looking forward to see how it turned out.

I am winding down for the season and looking forward to some playing in the snow. Looked like it was snowing on the Continental Divide OMW home from work. Hit a bunch of awesome trails,including making it all the way up to Wheeler Lake without...

Spent a few hours this evening fabri-cobbling the stock GX skids into skids for my buddy's 2013 Forester and it went better than I expected.

The best shot i have showing my frame rust. I am at 145k now and wash it at least once a week. I can take shots underneath once I clean it.

My truck spent 120k or 9 winters in Iowa. It was washed frequently and only has some light surface rust. I have done some wool wax before I moved to Colorado. If one of these trucks is really really rusty, its a huge red flag and walk away...

It'll buff out. 😆

Agreed, but not sure how Toyota would feel about that haha Everything looks better with a winch

And a winch!!
