SILVER Star
Went out to CA and picked up a 2006 GX470, $14,900. The GX was clean, a few scratches, good maintenance records. Need new tires, just put on some 265/65/17 for now. Runs great, got 17 mpg coming out of PHX for Gallup NM and then 20 mpg from Gallup up to home.
Need to add a receiver hitch, need one this spring to pull my trailer. This summer I might need the heavy one (6500lbs) for getting hay. Then I am hoping to get Southern Style's rear bumper this coming summer/fall, which covers both, any ideas for a cheap way to go before the SSS bumper?
What the GX look like on 2/25/17
My old setup, JK & Trailer, so that you can see the trailer.
Now I need to sell the JEEP.
to come will be a lift 2.5-3", 275/75/17 tires, skid plates, front and rear bumper, head unit with Nav and I am guessing more.
