    Builds Qball’s GX 460 build thread

    Looks good and I'm not trying to steal your thunder, but saying it is the first 460 on Kings is a stretch. There are lots of guys with 460s running Kings w/ reservoirs. Also, there are already kdss bracket kits from King for the front reservoirs. Just curious, but who did the custom valving...

    I was prepared to either re-shape the snorkel head w/ a heat gun or trim the Prinsu rack. Luckily, I didn't have to do either!

    Finally got around to installing the faux-TJM snorkel to celebrate turning 10k on the odometer. I'm not going to lie...my hands were shaking while I was drilling that first hole in the fender. There are absolutely zero noise or vibrations on the the interstate and it clears the Prinsu with a...

    Best Tires for GX 460

    265/65r18 definitely fits, but I know someone on GXOR had a 275/65r18 crammed under there. It definitely requires some finagling when you're raising the tire.

    Best Tires for GX 460

    Yes, no problem. I ran those on my stocker w/ no rubbing. You may have to remove one small bolt in the wheel well (not sure if Prados have similar attachment points as the Lexus).

    That's what I was seeing as well. 17 and 18 tire prices are edging closer and closer for quality brands. Hell, I used to pay over $400/ea for tires on my Jeep SRT...just part of life if you don't want cheap, China rubber. I agree that 17s make sense, but I absolutely loved these wheels and...

    Fair points, but I personally feel the "price of tires" thing is overblown. Let's be real...any 32-33" quality tire in a 17 or 18" wheel size is $300ish give or take $25 or so, even cheaper if you wait for sales/rebates and do price matching. Over the life of a vehicle, that isn't a whole lot...

    Just trimmed factory steps. I just kind of eyeballed it...nothing careful about it, lol.

    Added some Enkei RPT1 wheels. Was going to step down to 17s, but my BFGs only had 5k miles on them. I got an absolutely killer deal on these, so it made sense.

    They will be listed for sale. I'll probably be swapping them in the next few weeks.

    No issues yet...it is only 18% in the front, 35% over factory in the back and 55% on the windshield. I usually run this combo on all my vehicles, so am very used to it. The ditch lights definitely do help out the sides, but it is no big deal to roll down a window either. However, I don't...

    I've had an ARB on another rig and IMHO, the Ironman is comparable in quality. I only paid $1250 for the Ironman, so couldn't justify the extra $1000 for the ARB. The ARB does fit a bit tighter to the grille, but I'm happy with the Ironman fitment. I do like the 2 piece winch cradle as well for...

    why are there no 2-way adjustable shocks for the GX460

    I really wish Dobinson's would include vehicle-specific brackets with their reservoirs. Right now it seems like everyone has to ghetto-rig the mounting locations. I'm personally waiting for the Toytec/Elka Aluma kit to be released that has mounting brackets which work w/ KDSS.

    Nothing super exciting, but I finally got a power disconnect installed inline for the winch. I just didn't want someone to be able to walk up to my vehicle and hook a remote (or clips) to my winch control box and tamper with it. Based on the specs, it should be fine for steady winch runs up to...

    RIgd Ultraswing Installed

    Looks good. Just curious, but what didn't you like about the Wilco? I have the Offset model and it is solid. I was able to drill an additional hole to get it to sit closer, but am still limited by how far the factory hitch sticks out. Also, I like how there is just enough room between the...

    I'm looking to move up slightly in tire size to 285/70r17 and knew I'd need a way to carry a full size spare. The Kaymar is #1 on my list, but I had this Wilco Offset in my garage from another truck. According to Wilco's fit requirements, it should not work due to the short distance between the...

    GX460 Roof Rack Pics Needed

    No, I believe the mounting points are different. Prinsu makes a GX460 specific rack (which is awesome, BTW).

    I was never a fan of the halogen fog lights that come with the Ironman bullbar, so I decided to add some Baja Designs Squadron Sport-R amber lights. I've always been a fan of amber light for fogs. I'm interested to see how these do with the dual beam patterns. The mounting holes do not line...
