    GX460 spare tire carrier options - bumper, hitch, swingout, etc?

    Have not yet heard about their quality, good or bad. I mean, the DIY stuff is what you make of it anyway. I'm not a fan of hybrid bumpers, but seeing that they have filler plates now, it looks better. But I've got a 460, so no joy for me.

    Considering this DIY kit of theirs for a rear bash bar. I already have the heavy rear springs on, in anticipation of the rear carrier, so weight doesn't worry me...yet.

    GX460 spare tire carrier options - bumper, hitch, swingout, etc?

    I always wondered about those Rigid swings. I do not wheel hard and will not for some time. So, I don't worry about that. I do, however, live in Amish country (oiled and chipped rads, not paved) and this year have but 26k miles on an counting. I also only have the 5k hitch, not the OEM that...

    Yes. The story is you could use the little 5k one (like I have, and all I need) but also use the OEM hitch as well. I will know soon enough.

    I did. Waiting for it to come in. I was deciding on the whole Prado door swap or not...and then this came out the day I was going to pull the trigger on the kit. I hate how crappy the reverse lights are, AND I have a Rigid chase light, AND where I live uses fracking brine from time to time on...

    I know this is an older thread, but what is that green plug, and what is that connecting to?

    Light duty vs. Medium duty suspension upgrades

    Good morning, everyone! I just bought a 2004 GX470. I was looking for some specific things in a rig and found almost all of them, and grabbed it. I will be driving it around and doing upgrades as I go, replacing worn items with better ones, that sort of thing. But I do want to replace the...

    What are you working on?

    Thanks! The company in (I guess) Harrisburg that makes OEM springs has one left in stock, and even though they are a regular stock item, they expect to make more in March...or April...maybe...

    What are you working on?

    Can't find a stock height pair, but I do have a few more places to call. I may have to eat it and simply order the appropriate Daihatsu spring from Australia.

    What are you working on?

    This is a big week for my little guy. First, we'll get some much needed attention for a transfer case leak, but in the next three weeks, I get the dual batteries in, which will allow me to get the winch on, which will allow me to swap in the new dashboard, which will allow me to get the lights...

    Introduction Thread...Who are you, and what do you drive?

    Those would all be fun, I think. The Purple Lizard guys were thinking of doing Allegheny National Forest at some point; I don't know if they have a timetable for that. I find little things all over, but I doubt that it's enough to have everyone come into town. But...I got sort-of unofficial...
