    Ruby - '21 GX Build Thread

    I think I aslo saw that post, he totalled his truck the week before the bumper arrived. Felt bad for him! I suggest looking at the Victory blitz. I chose that over the CBI mainly due to winch accessibility and coverage underneath. You'll see lots of comparisons in your search.

    Keep GX, new 4Runner or LX

    Yeah, I have a Pak Mule and can load it so that the barn door still swings, but there is some packing management involved. I'll actually be getting a swing hitch in the near future which will illiminate that issue, and may even reduce the exhaust burn given it will sit out a bit further...

    Keep GX, new 4Runner or LX

    All valid points, however for me the benefits outway the cons. 1) less height and drag added to the vehicle (I find that even ski racks to the roof for carrying fishing poles adds drag and decreases mileage) 2) Added weight is kept low, preventing vehicle being top-heavy. Although I wouldn't do...

    Keep GX, new 4Runner or LX

    The new 4runner has more rear cargo room than the GX? Have you considered removing the 3rd row of your GX to free up more space?

    Victory blitz bumper for GX460? Has anyone tried?

    10k mile review of the Victory Blitz front bumper - some issues to be aware of. Overall, I'm still happy with this bumper. It's opended me up more technical trails and given me more confidence, with the extra increase departure angle and protection when bottoming out. The one concern I had...

    Rear Control Arm Parts Numbers

    Interesting...... I have the same front and rear springs, also from 2021 and haven't noticed any sag so far, after ~60k miles. I added some extra weight to the front end earlier this year (front bumper and winch, 130lbs) and was surprised that the front end didn't drop any, and also doesn't...

    Media GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    I'm still happy with my epo one sliders. Note that even though they offer a step similar to the Victory version, they sit higher up that the stock OEM step, so I've found that their functionality as a step is somewhat reduced since you have to step up higher than just stepping into the truck...

    Roadtrip report - the GX goes west

    Update: Got back on Friday. Logged 7,500 miles over 31 days, through 17 states. Burnt through 411gal of gas which gave me an average mileage of 18.25mpg. The only casualty was a scrape and dent to the rear driver bumper, which should pop back out easy enough!
