BonnerBB's Lifted GX470

[BonnerBB]

Jusilver...

The Icon Coilovers I used are adjustable from 0"-3.5" of lift...
The rear air bag is adjustable to what ever I want too of course. The more you inflate them the harsher the ride gets.

Post #19 of this thread is Woody and he did an OME lift... It is not adjustable.

Dan recently did an OME lift too...

I most likely will throw some Medium duty OME springs on my rear to try to improve my ride a bit. It is a little stiff now since I have them aired way the hell up to match my 3" front. Looks too cool for me to lower it back down for comfort though.

I love the look of your truck with the lift. I was just wondering, after taking the running boards off, in one of your side shots...it looks like some stuff is hanging down a bit towards the back of the truck in front of the back wheel.

Do you have any issue with that? What is it exactly? Do you rub or bottom out on it? Thanks for the info.

I will not wheel my rig hard until I have my sliders on... As it sits nothing is hanging down other then some factory skid plates. That picture looks weird becauses you can't even see the frame rail. If I get a change I will take a closer up picture.

Cool thanks for the info. I am interested in these as a possible next vehicle and was just wondering. A picture from the side from the group would be cool to see.......but dont put yourself out or anything.

Better late than never...

First image is the left overs of the front mud flap being removed.
Second image shows the KDSS lines just down the frame a little bit.
Third is right past the KDSS and is the factory skid.

This is the last section - furthest back...

Sliders will hide all this stuff....

Hey Brett,

Yes, I still have my Pathfinder. I wheel it every 4-6 weeks with the Brian/College Station TX4wd group. Great group to wheel with and they wheel ALOT so there are lots of opportunity.

I didn't wheel my Lexus hard because the overgrowth/weeds/brush was crazy that time of year and am not ready to commit to new pin-striping yet.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this your rig on the trailer in this picture? We were convoying to BVORR last year.

Is that the Love's at 290 & 2920?

Sure is...

I'll have to get some ideas for places around here. Everywhere I used to go is illegal now. Don't know of very many and it's good too see other Texans on the forums. Haven't really had a chance to test the 4runner yet.

Where in central Texas are you? I might be able to suggest a few places to you.

I'm in San Marcos, going to try hidden falls one day and planning on going to Big Bend Ranch in the fall, once the weather cools off a little. I've got family north of Houston, pass that love's all the time which is why I mentioned it. What part of TX are you in?

You wouldnt have been in the katy area the other day? I saw a GX like yours out on westhimer by katy mills. Sweet looking truck man.

 

[BonnerBB]

I do... That would have been me.

I appreciate it.

So I guess I deleted all my photos from my flippin photobucket before taking into consideration that ALL my build threads had links to them. Makes my thread suck! Sorry everyone. I will rebuild it some day.

 

[SouthernSS]

bummer! I did that on a few pics, moving them into different folders in photobucket. super sucky

This is the reason I implemented UNLIMITED photo attachment space for any 'MUD user with 250+ posts...too many lost images (and for those in the 10-250 range, the limit is high enough you'd need to post 2 images on every reply to reach the limit!)

Bummer on the lost images...BTDT...

Anyone in here done this mod on their Lifted GX yet with the larger tires?
