    Metaltech Pegasus Bumper DISASTER

    I've had nothing but good experiences with Metal Tech who is also a local company to me. It's hard to a read a post that is one long paragraph and sentence, but I caught things like how they tried to make it right multiple times, the owner gave you his personal number and they offered a...

    Any other green GX's on here?

    It was called Sage Metallic in the later years. Not sure if its actually the exact same color but different name or actually a slightly different color "green".

    I like the wheels, but I REALLY like the Slee sliders. I think I saw your post over on GXOR. I'm looking for a set of those myself. Just emailed them.

    Added some ditch lights and lower DLR lights. Used the ditch light brackets from Rago Fabrication, which fit wonderfully and just has a trim a slight bit of plastic barely worth mentioning. Lights are from superbrightlights.com. So nothing super special or expensive. I can't say how...

    I don't have pics handy, but to run wires from the battery to the rear is extremely easy in the GX. I cut a small hole in the wiring harness plug that is on the mid level, far driver's side firewall. The wire can then run under the kick panel all the way to the back of the vehicle. On the...

    A few updates to the rear cargo area. I wired in power to the rear cargo area fuse block which will power everything from behind the front seats rearward. A fuse block in the engine compartment powers everything front seats forward. So far I have a compressor wired up and now mounted...

    Finally got new shoes today. Now I feel like I can be part of the club. No lift yet, all stock suspension. Tires are BFG KO2s 275/70-17s on 2012 FJ Cruiser 8 hole wheels. The wheels are slightly better offset and I was lucky enough to get them cheap on Craigslist. After much fender...

    On the later model GXs, the CDL switch was relocated to the switch panel right of the steering wheel so they could put the Aux port on the center console to plug in your iphone or ipod or whatever into the factory radio system.

    Thanks for the kind words! So far this past weekend, I continued on the wiring project for everything. I used silicone wire that I sourced from amazon and I will never again ever, ever, ever use any other type of wire. It is so nice and easy to work with. I deleted the useless...

    Thanks much, I need to cut the front mud flaps down more. A lot more once I try to install sliders. The black box is just a spare project box I had. Inside, will go relays to run the future lights and duel battery solenoid and a relay for switched power into the cab. The fuse box...

    Today's work...good bye side steps, good bye ugly hitch, hello new electrical junction box and Ham radio mount. Side steps to be replaced with Metal Tech sliders in the next few weeks and hitch will eventually be replaced with the SSO light hitch. Wheels and tires next week, hopefully.

    Not the biggest mod, but all I had time for today before work. Blacked out grill. I think green was meant to have black with crome accents. This is going to be my theme. Black wheels, etc.

    The build finally begins. I was finally able to take the 2008 GX470 on a shake down run to the north Oregon Coast this past weekend. It was completely bone stock, but that’s about to change. After the short trip, I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. The plan to is to somewhat mimic...

    GX470, no lift. Will 275/70-17 K02's fit?

    2009 GX vs 2003 LX

    A couple things i would note, anyone correct me if im wrong since ive only owned an 80 and a GX not a 100. But doesnt the Gx get a little better gas mileage due to less weight and higher gearing? I “think” the 100 will have the 1st gen atrac while the gx will have the 2nd gen better version...

    Anyone have production numbers on the GX470?

    Wonderful! Thank you. Wow you can really see how the financial crisis affected sales!

    Anyone have production numbers on the GX470?

    Years ago I was able to find production numbers for the FZJ80 for each year which was interesting to see how rare they kind of were. So I'm curious if anyone has the production or import numbers of the GX470 into the U.S. either in total or by year?

    Any other green GX's on here?

    I love it! In some of your posts you indicate you were running 255/80/17 skinnies, but it looks like you had BFG KO2s on there before? Do you mind if I ask what size they were and if any lift? Hard to tell from the pics.
