After four months of getting to know my rig, it's time to build it up. Here are some pictures of my GX in Excited new owner of 2005 GX470. I decided to build it up fast and start having fun with it instead of dragging it over two or more years. Carpe Diem! So she is going to the shop to have the following installed by in time for summer road trips (camping, moderate off-roading, no rock-crawling).
- Ironman 2" lift with Light Racing UCA, Metaltech rear spring eliminator kit.
- MetalTech OPOR Rock sliders
- RCI Aluminum Skid plates (bare metal)
- MetalTech Front Bumper with Fog light (stage 3)
- MetalTech Pegasus Rear Bumper (stage 6)
- Front and Rear Lockers ARB RD121; ARB RD132; ARB CKMA12
- Re-gearing Nitro (4.11 or 4.56?)
- Engo 9000 lb winch synthetic rope
- 33" wheels, 285/70R17 on stock rims.
- Which should I go with 4.11 or 4.56? I am not sure I want to make the mpg any worse with 4.56
- Should I go with Total Chaos instead of SPC Light Racing? I have heard the Light Racing has problems with durability.
- Will I need spacers or new rims to get the 285/70R17 to not rub?
