WOW! Looks sick! I like the bronze wheels and the rear bumper sets it off. Great build.

 

[Gx4sevend]

Thanks guys. Hope to make a few trips this summer. I'm in Oregon so let me know if anyone is local and planning any trips

Who has the link for the rear bumper LEDs from Amazon? Is is a swap out or modifying the existing reflector to accept the LEDs???

 

[Gx4sevend]

It's a straight swap. But you'll need to wire them into the brake light. They were like $25 or so

I used these. $14 and tapped into my trailer hitch wiring. They even flash with the blinkers. Amazon.com: Mihaz Auto LED Bumper Light Led Rear Reflector Brake Running Lights Red Lens DC 12V for 09-12 Toyota Camry,LE 2012 Lexus ISF(2008),GX470(03-09),RX300 JHRB-2: Automotive

@Gx4sevend

Can you post up a shot of the front. Really want to see the ditch mount lights. I just can't seem to pull the trigger on this mod and the wife says they are going to look stupid. And I can't let her be right.

 

[Gx4sevend]

I will snap a garage pic of it for you. I drilled an extra hole and mounted two so I could angel the lights. They're $20 a pair so you can't go wrong.

 

[Bluetribal]

Yeah I already have the $20 Amazon LED's
Can't wait to see how two pairs look

Love your build great work.

So I am hoping you can help me I want to do the metaltech springs but don't want to lift my gx any higher than it is now with FJ springs.

Can you measure from the center of the rear hub to the bottom of the fender flare?
So that I can compare to where I am now.

Thanks for the help

 

[Gx4sevend]

Center of hub to fender is almost 26". I've got the Overland/Icon springs.

ok great thanks I am wanting to do the 2 inch metaltech long travel springs but I can use this as a gauge from what I have now.

How is your ride over large bumps in the back?

 

[Gx4sevend]

It's definitely stiffer with it unloaded but with a rear bumper it helps out a lot
