Builds 2016 GX Overland Build (2 Viewers)

[VirginiaCruiser]

Installed the Zeon 10s

I decided to move the cooler up rather that modify anything, the lower brackets where the bumper mounted are bent straight, and I modified one of the side supports to work in the center

it’s solid, out of the way, and nothing is stressed

Nice work, that Ironman is a bitch.

Worst install of my life, definitely NOT willing to help with another lol.

It seems like they forgot to think about how it all mounts to the truck with accessories, every time I add lights or the winch I have to break out the grinder and measuring tape. It’s getting annoying at this point. Not to mention there is nothing coating under the powdercoat, rusts super easy.
Rant over

I would charge a lot to install one commercially. Although one could make a set of cut templates from an existing install.

Sucks to hear about the lack of prep under the powder coat. Hopefully I won't run into any finish issues with mine for as long as I own it.

Easily $1000 or more lol.

Wednesdays are tough for me as well and I haven't been able to make the meetings. A lot of the event planning and publication happens on the forum. We have a lot of members outside the DMV and aren't able to make the meetings but attend the events.

Hauled some wood for the fire pit today, the truck did great on the highway.

The 80 series is seeing less and less seat time. Still loving the GX more everyday

The GX is a fabulous thing. I love both our 470 and 460. I wish I could combine them to make it even better!

As nice as the 80 series were, you can't help but love the V8 in the GX, especially when trailing.

Let me see, if we combined them... That would make it a GX465??? A little larger motor with more HP and torque along with a wee better MPG wouldn't be a bad thing!
