    Ultimate Trail Tool Kit (carry on for off road)

    Permatex Gasket Maker - I haven't needed it on the GX, but I used it this past weekend to seal a Chevy Trail Boss differential cover that got caught on a rock and deformed enough to lose all the differential oil. Good list, thank you.

    RCI Skid Plates and Sliders install on 2011 GX460

    Had my aluminum RCI Offroad Skid Plates (front, mid, transfer) and RSG Metalworks Flat Sliders with Top Plate installed at Saddleback Automotive (Costa Mesa/Orange County). The sliders are a big improvement and I'm currently running them without the trim piece from the OEM steps. If I had to do...

    Dobinsons 2" lift kit install on 2011 GX460 (Orange County)

    I'm in OC. Let's do that day trip, or an overnight.

    Dobinsons 2" lift kit install on 2011 GX460 (Orange County)

    Neither - I went with the base 2" kit with comfort valving: Dobinsons GX460 Suspension Kit Ride is excellent on street and off. My adventures are usually slow point A to B in the desert. No regrets.

    GX460 Running board removal and slider install write up?

    Questions before I start this project myself: (1) Do you install the sliders without the trim piece in, then re-attach the trim piece. Or does the trimmed piece from the steps go back on before installing the sliders? (2) How do you know exactly where to trim the steps? (A) Remove them...

    Dobinsons 2" lift kit install on 2011 GX460 (Orange County)

    Thanks. Yes, it does. I found all sorts of conflicting information before I just gave it a try. Even the owner of a local wheel shop told me he had a customer try it with my wheel/tire/oem hitch combo with the results that the customer was unsuccessful and damaged the rim. I had to try it for...

    Front recovery points on GX460 (2010-2013)

    No, your best bet is Treaty Oaks or the Amazon ones linked above. The TOO points are about $125 a pair with the current promotion, but not powder coated. The Amazon ones are $125 but powder coated yellow. Kyle has been helpful to me and others on this forums so I got his.

    RRW Front Engine Skid Plate - What do you think?

    Thanks Richard. I gave him a call but apparently they are steel 1/8" and I think those might be a little thin for me. Price was good to go though! Thanks again.

    RRW Front Engine Skid Plate - What do you think?

    I'm trying to sort out the best Black Friday deals on aluminum skid plates. Anyone have experience with this one? Lexus GX460 Front Engine Skid Plate Also, I'll also be adding a Transfer Case skid, probably from RCI, will I run into issues mixing different brands? Thanks in advance.

    Floor mats?

    I have Weathertech Digital in the front of my 2011. There was some confusion in ordering as Weathertech's website thinks the 2011 didn't have floor hooks, so I had to order a year that did. Fit is great and no regrets. I have Kagu 3D Maxpider for the second row, just because they were...

    Wildpeak 265/70R17 fits in GX460 spare well with OEM / factory hitch

    FOR CLARIFICATION: "....does fit in a 2011 GX460 spare well without being deflated" In other words, I did NOT need to deflate the tire, but yes, the fit was maxed out.

    Wildpeak 265/70R17 fits in GX460 spare well with OEM / factory hitch

    Posting this because I searched high and low and got conflicting answers. I can now confirm that a Falken WiIdpeak AT3/W P-metric 265/70/17 (31.6") does fit in a 2011 GX460 spare well without being deflated, and I do have the large OEM hitch. It's tight with only about 1/2" clearance between...

    Completely satisfied. Ride is at least as good as stock but stiffer in a good way. No regrets.

    Wheels, tires, for 2016 4runner limited

    You're in Utah (so winter rated tire) and you want to do "some" off roading (so you don't "need" an E-rated tire). FN Wheels - Six Shooter or FX model 17" x 8" wheels or 17" x 7.5" Toyota TRD wheels (both good and fairly inexpensive) 265/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W P-metric tires (you can go as...

    Mixing aluminum and steel skid plates + Which area needs the most protection

    I'm not rock crawling or sending it, I'm mainly a "get from Point A to Point B for camping" guy, in Southern California desert, and I pick lines instead of smashing them. My 2011 GX has about 3" more clearance than stock. I drove a stock 2WD 4runner for 12 years with the factory skids and never...

    Dobinsons 2" lift kit install on 2011 GX460 (Orange County)

    No, and I don't believe there would be if you keep it 2.5" or under. Here's how it looks with the FN Wheels Six Shooter in Graphite Gunmetal with Falken AT3 265/70/17 P-metric. The appearance change from stock wheels to these was dramatic, but the iPhone camera widens things out a bit and does...
