If it were me, I'd just put an AGM in it and be done. I had a set last ten years in my Excursion that hardly ever saw 14v from the alternator., and they still worked fine when I replaced them. I would throw them on an Odyssey charger sometimes, but that was just because the thing would often sit...

'23 production is done (right?) so there aren't going to be any more of them, other than what may be in transit. Discounts are approaching $10K, already, so I doubt you'll see much better. Mark

Fine looking dog! Mark

Yeah, in the 14 months and 18K I've had the vehicle, one 2nd row seat has been used three times, and the other not at all. I knew that would be the case, and so opted for captains chairs, and removed the 3rd row the first week I had it home. Mark

I can't speak for ski's, but here's a couple of photos that may help. The first is the back of my '23 with captains chairs *and the rear seat removed*. As you can see, the CC come with a floor mat for the space between the chairs. Here's a photo of my size medium 29" mountain bike upright in...

Dana 70B from a 90 Dodge W250 with 240k miles. No gears or carrier, but newish outer bearings. 35 spline axles shafts. 65" WMS width. I bought this to put under my 4Runner, but that's not going to happen. Put it under yours. $350 OBO.

X5. You can get deals on used gassers, and they handle great. My wife loves her 45e, and they are dirt cheap to drive around town (at least at $.15/kwh), and way, way cheaper to drive on trips than a GX. Mark

Mine's a plain Jane Artic Silver one, though a little shiner than most since I spent the weekend cleaning and ceramic coating it. I don't get inside the 470 beltway much, though. Mark

Welcome to the 'hood from down the road aways. I just got a '23, and love it. Mark

Since I'd asked questions in this thread I thought I'd show what I ended up doing. My use case is a little different, in that I don't care about overlanding, drawer storage or sleeping inside, but I do want as much storage behind the second row as I can get. The Goose Gear platform would have...

I saw that, but the image - which isn't great - looks like the flat one from the 2-row Prada. I'll have my GX back from the detail shop tomorrow, and will look at it. Mark

@sheptastic, is the part number you linked above the OEM GX460 one, or the 2-row Prada one? I'm looking for a 460 one that'll fit my '23, and that I can cut down to match the post 3rd row delete floor. Mark

Wednesday, May 2 My friend and spotter Dave and I headed for Moab at 6AM. After an uneventful drive over, we checked in at the Cruise Moab safety and registration desk, dropped off our junk at the hotel, then headed out to Poison Spider for a warmup run. We got past the Wedgie, then decided to...
