If you want to go cheap and it's just mounted for a short time, you can go get a couple of stainless steel hose clamps and strap it to your bar!
It may not have that cool off road look, but it's cheap an strong.

The panhandle overland rally was a blast for the time I was there. Wife and daughter wasn't as enthusiastic as I was and I had to cut the visit shorter than I wanted. Big props to @Washingtontaco for helping me out and giving me some valuable wisdom and whatnot.
I spent so much time talking and dealing with the girls I neglected to get very many pics. Only two lame "action" shots on two different days. At least I got mildly muddy. Now it's time to clean up to prepare for winter!
*edit*
I'm going to go through my dash cam videos front and back to see if I can find something else to post.
My favorite (non-GX) rig there I gotta say was this epic DAF. Nice folks too.

Have to ask why the wife and daughter didn't enjoy it?
Too bouncy, the whole camping on the ground, bad weather, or???
One of the things my wife loves when we're wheeling, is when I let her drive!
She also likes when were with our 4x4 club and there's other wives for her to socialize with and not just hear us guys talk gear-head talk.

Ahh, yeah, kids like to with with their own and with it being kind of wet, cold and windy, not much to do especially since you can't really sit around a camp fire, one of our favorite pass times when camping.
Good times! The wind was brutal on Saturday. I was slinging recovery gear Saturday morning so the wind didn't bother me so much and Saturday afternoon I was driving folks through the course so the seat heaters were on! Had snow at 6000' overnight Friday.

I'm CRUSHED we missed the snow! I doubt my tires would of liked it much however. Haha. Hopefully we can get together again. I enjoyed our conversations. Learned a lot...being recovered... LOL
Oh, and I cannot find those Hella tube light brackets your counterpart had. I'm terrible with names so forgive me.

I hate that I had to get black. It was the best condition one I could find. I'll be raptor lining it another color hopefully next year.
Had to clean it to get it winterized. Otherwise I love it dirty. LOL

Did you use a sureform file (cheese grater) to smooth out any high spots? Can't tell, but did you also use an edge trim?
Looks really good!

No edge trim. I decided to have Selkirk Offroad handle the trimming after I gave them the measurements while my GX was there getting winter prepped. I just don't have a steady enough hand when I got ready to do it. They did a fantastic job so it was worth the cost.
Not sure how they handled the actual cutting and such.

Ok, update. I'm about 44 miles from the next mileage milestone (180k). My belt squeak is back but I am not sure if that's because I have no splash guards and the moisture from all the rain, snow and puddles is causing it or there is a coolant drip on it. I do not see any coolant leaking so that's gotta be out. The last thing is maybe it's my idler pulley? I replaced the tensioner but not the idler pulley. Will have to address that next year.
The second thing is are my codes are/were back. P0108, P0441, & P0455. So I replaced the gas cap with an OEM one but that didn't solve it. Then I replaced the vacuum switching valve (25860-31060) and that fixed the P0441 & P0455 codes leaving the P0108 code left. I'm beginning to think the Chinesium MAP sensor is faulty already. I just cannot afford the OEM MAP sensor and the vehicle runs fine so I'm going to have to wait to replace it with OEM.
The odd thing is the P0108 code clears itself and pops up daily. What else could it be causing that issue? Should I run some sort of intake cleaner through the system?

So...this happened. And yes, it was fun.
Had about 8-12" in most places. Supposed to snow more tonight. I did miss out on getting my studded winter tires so tomorrow morning is going to be really scary on these high mileage AT's on ice and slush. Better than taking my wife's RAM 2500 with some chineseium AT tires and no weight in the back.

Before messing with the sensor, check for any leaks after the sensor in the intake hose. Loose clamps, cracks in the intake hose/tube itself. Often it's not a sensor issue but something downstream causing the false reading (especially since it's the ~108, sensor high).
