    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    Ooh. I've never been to a Bass Pro Shop in California. Or a Cabela's, for that matter. As expected, the flower blooms were a bit weak this year, but still beautiful in their own right. Nice little clusters here and there with the Poppies doing the best around Gorman. Still worth a trip...

    GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    That's enough about clean trucks in parking lots. I took my daughter on one last sledding trip for the year on Saturday. Afterwards, we went to Hungry Valley OHV so Daddy could play too. I did a familiar loop of Powerline>Freeman Canyon>Pipeline, since I'd left my trail map at home and...

    GX460 / Prado150 pic thread

    The width is visually apparent in this pic, but the height is deceiving. Even without the roof rack, this thing towered over mine. I doubt it would fit in my office's parking garage (I can touch the beams through my moon roof). For reference, my GX460 pictured above is fully stock aside from...

    I found this big feller when I was out today. I like it.

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    I saw my first GX550 in person and even got to park next to it for comparison. Who's a chonky boi? Oh man, I like it a lot. I'm a lifer with my GX460, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of these in the wild.

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    Mission accomplished! It was a great day in the mountains around Frasier Park & Gorman that checked all the boxes. I found everything I needed: snow, sand, rocks, hill climbs, and a healthy dose of mud. I saw a white GX with all the trimmings (bumpers, RTT, etc.) at Hungry Valley OHV that looked...

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    I was just on that site yesterday, which is where I'd read about Carrizo's lackluster bloom this year. At this time last year, it was popping! These are from 4/23/23: The very first orange poppies were just getting started when I drove through Gorman and the Grapevine last month. I'm sure...

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    I'm itching to go for a drive this weekend. Maybe I'll try to find the last remnants of crusty spring snow, maybe go see some wildflowers, definitely get off the pavement and away from the crowds for a day. Carizzo Plain apparently isn't as lush as in years past, but that's usually my go-to...

    Best GX 460 floor liners ?

    +1. Oedro mats were my first purchase after getting the truck. 3.5 years later they've held up great and prevented untold damage to the carpets. Having a base model without rear A/C has made a cargo area mat hard to source. I don't like the OEM design, we've only used the 3rd row once in all...

    Went to see the mountains today. Stayed 99% on paved roads, but it still felt so good to be in my natural habitat. Lots of locked gates this time of year. Didn't take any truck pics until I was leaving and stopped at the base of Kern Canyon. The gateway to the South Sierra.

    California... My electric car was charging 200 miles away from these turbines and solar farms and this pipe carries my tap water hundreds of miles from the base of a glacier. I saw a guy towing a Lotus with a Rivian going to Willow Springs. It's cool here. :cool:

    I grew up in rural Colorado, and I still think California has something special. I can limp. It's worth it. Real quiet on the trails today. Must be a football game or something on.

    Interior spare tire mounting

    Glad to see that works. I have a tendency to overthink things. I didn't even remember starting this thread, but I went back over it and refreshed my memory. I ended up fitting an OEM FJ Cruiser wheel & tire in the stock location. It's not a matching Falken, but it's the same "size" tire at...

    Builds R²M 2013 GX 460 Overland Build

    I don't have much to add except encouragement and a silly anecdote. When our daughter was born my wife was driving an '03 IS300. One night I'd taken it out to grab some carryout and as I was returning everything went sour. The whole dash lit up and it tried to die at a stop light. The headlights...

    Amazing place. I spent Summer Solstice there back in 2017 and have been trying to get back up there ever since. Backpacking the Lost Coast is a bucket list item for sure.

    Good? Yes. But not unstoppable. Ask me how I know... But honestly, these Falkens are my favorite AT in the snow that I've ever ridden. Much better than the reformulated KO2s of the past decade that turn rock hard in the cold. ATrac can also work real wonders that even a locked diff might...

    GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread

    I had my last meeting with a client yesterday as we wrapped up a months long project. We were chatting about my electric car and "range anxiety" and I said, "if I ever have to go more than 300mi in a day I'll just take my V8 Lexus" and his ears perked up. Turns out, he's got a 2013 GX with some...
