    Swapped out the traditional metal winch hook for a Factor 55 Prolink. Super easy process, took less than 5 minutes (once the snap ring tool I had to order arrived). Before: Step 1: Remove the cotter pin from the metal hook, extract the pin, and remove the hook from the winch line Step 2...

    Not a problem, glad I could help. You could certainly use the JW as a long-term solution with some basic reinforcement within the tailgate and on the hinges; wouldn't be too difficult at all, or at least I don't think it would. Of course, if you want the "most stock" solution then you can always...

    That's a solid plan. The only vehicle I plan to add anytime in the even remotely distant future is a fun/weekend car. But that'll be cash, and determined by when there is sufficient cash to do so. Current prospect: When I'm 40...

    Wild. And how many trucks have you been through since then? Haha Nissan has had some absolutely iconic vehicles in its lineage. But how'd that 944 do with a car seat? Also, Previas are rad! AWD, manual, mid-engine minivan. Super cool.

    You're probably not the only Nissan-turned-Toyota family. The death of the XTerra inevitably meant people ended up 4Runners, Wranglers, etc. They were solid trucks but not the big-mile reliability workhorses that the comparable Toyotas are. Crazy that the XTerra went out of production almost 10...

    Hahahahahaha how dare I They do look great, especially built 2nd gens (like yours sounds to have been). Always been a sucker for the XTerra, too.

    KO3s should be out (really, fully out... not just 2 sizes) by the time you're ready for a new set!

    Same, don't love the angle of the fairlead on this one either but it otherwise looks great

    Dig how that looks, but wrong coast unfortunately. I remember reading about the issues you had. Kudos to you and your friend for the re-engineering! I'll have to explore that...

    My bumper fits great. Was yours the Classic or Premium? They also no longer make the skid plates. I really don't like the angle at which the winch fairlead sits at on the Victory Strike. It also weighs as much as the Ironman bumper.

    What bumper did you replace it with? I like the Ironman bumper, but I've always like the ARB-style since I was a kid. Winch drum/clutch access hasn't been an issue for me. The Ironman bumper is also crash tested, for whatever that's worth. If there was a good looking tube bumper that...

    Same here. It fits the classic 4x4 look more appropriately.

    All-in-all, a very productive and satisfying round of upgrades to the GX. It solidified me keeping it around, if not for another few years then for much longer. As much as a pickup would suit some aspects of my life better, I just have so much time/energy/emotion into this GX already that it...

    Usually this is where I would have included my full installation write-up, but limited time and hectic life shenanigans led me to bring the GX to The Custom Shop (which has done work on my GX in the past) to have the wheels/tires and skid plates installed. Everything went smoothly, though the...
