Well... some not so good news. After trying to get this done, the shop (who shall remain nameless) totally misrepresented what they were going to do. The welder said he had about 6 hours into it and then they brought out a bar that looked like the worst welds I have ever seen (and I am a 35+...
Today's progress... The recovery points are mounted on the frame and we are attaching the brush bar to those (they will be bolted onto the recovery points so the bar can be removed to repaint, etc as needed). The bar is tacked into position and still making some bends and adjustments. It...
We actually like it a lot. Like any of the lighter trailers, it has some cheaper construction, but functionally it works great. We have to keep an eye out for "opportunities" to improve on the workmanship at the factory (resealed a few things, etc). We looked at a lot of the smaller ones, but...
We tow a 19 foot travel trailer, mostly flat stuff but we have towed over the pass with it. It's close to 4300# and it does "fine" for us. I put in the 6500# OEM hitch and I run redline in my diffs and transaxle and engine oil and try to keep from trying to do anything too crazy. I have a...
Thanks, I do like that victory blitz and also the CBI unit...I was just trying to be honest with myself this time and didn't feel I needed a heavy front bumper (and this will be removeable if I totally mess up). I love some of the Arctic truck bars and that is what got me wanting to do this...
I am finally going to tackle having a bumper bar/light bar built for my 460, since there are no decent commercially available options. I anticipate some will say it's a "damage multiplier" and that's ok, but hopefully we can agree to not agree on that one. I had a basic Westin bull bar on my...
thanks for the help guys, I will order that p/n for the crawl control but do I need a module for the MTS?. When it gets here, I might be back here to review the "paperclip method" of calibrating
What a great write up...this is why I love this site. Of all the social media and crap on the internet, this GX section of IH8MUD (and ordering from Amazon...and wine) is helping me cope with Covid.
Anyway, I am hoping to add MTS and Crawl to my 2017 Luxury (with the airbags removed and...
That is really nice of you... Not sure I would put those types in (I have that type on my trailer door and they have the large flange on the inside), but give me some time to think it over. If I do it, I can do more than just shipping though. Thanks again... time and time again, GX folks are...
thanks guys... yes I do like the paddle style latches and I had the same thought and am going to shorten the drawers a bit to give some hidden storage behind the second row seats. Maybe I can find some powder coated versions of those latches
So sorry it has taken me this long on this one... But it looks like I am finally taking out the third row seats this next week and having someone that has cabinet making experience help me cut/assemble the plywood (actually straight/square) and then we should have drawers in the next couple of...
ok, I'm sure everyone needs a good laugh today so at my expense here goes....
I have spent a lot of time tracing out this suspension system issue and I am not a beginner at troubleshooting systems by any means, however I am standing before you completely humbled today.
I went back to take...
thanks... we checked and all those things appear to be connected. The rear sensors are on washers so they are level. So I am just stumped. Been to several shops including lexus. Their service tech couldn't figure it out. My best hope is finding someone near central Oregon that knows GX...
I have been driving mine as is but I am still throwing codes... I took it to a service shop and he spent an hour and a half trying to figure out what was going on (and did not even charge me - amazing right). Anyway we checked the codes and it showed all kinds of actuators/solenoids...
Following this one too... Keep us posted on how it works for you. I am wanting to install 2 of the LP6s and am hoping to wire it as you described (so when I power on the switch, the lights run off the bright light lever). I don't really see a scenario when I would want to power the LPs with...
