Are you also planning a rear bumper? A feature I really like about my MetalTech rear bumper is that it provides 10" (~25cm) of flat space when the rear door is open which is a nice compromise of not having a tailgate like I had on my Landcruiser. Miss tailgates...
Also, with a snorkel and diesel, is your water fording ability any deeper than a petrol? Or are you still limited to about the same depth by electronics (not soaking your electrical)?
No plan for a rear bar at the moment. I had one on my 105 but that was mostly to get the spare out from underneath, and the tow hitch was integrated into the bar.
For this one I'd probably only do that if I wanted to add the second spare for remote touring. I do miss the tailgate for sure. I'm planning to incorporate a slide out or fold down table of some sort when I set up the rear cargo area.
I know the older diesels were OK to run under water so long as they had an elevated air intake. I think the newer electronic diesels are a bit more sensitive, but you can still go through a reasonably deep water crossing without issue, it's when you lose momentum and the bow wave that things start to get concerning. I haven't taken this one through anything deeper than the hubs yet.
The snorkel also has the benefit of lifting the air intake up out of the worst of the dust when traveling along dirt roads, particularly in convoy.

I agree, that's why I have a snorkel on mine, when on a dusty trial here in So. Cal. behind a half dozen other guys kicking up dust.
It also helps on hot days on the highway too! You're not sucking in all that hot air from around your front fender and grill, instead you're getting a ram-air effect and cooler air.

An observation from a long time lurker, recent member, its funny that this photo thread has been kicking around for a few years and no one has corrected the title from "GX460 / Prado120 pic thread" to "GX460 / Prado150 pic thread"
Here’s some pictures from our drive up to St. Helens a few weeks ago. Right now there’s a nasty fire around there so super Smokey as of late.

You caught it at a great time! 
EVERY place on the west coast is smokey... And it appears to be all blowing down south. For the past several days, the sun has been this eerie orange color all day along with soot all over our vehicles.

2015 GX, ICON's upfront , sliders are next..
Here’s my ‘19 Base
17x9 ET0 Black Rhino Bullheads with 275/70R17 kumho road venture at51’s. My Cali raised ditch lights and brackets swapped over. I think those brackets are taller than the GX specific ones?
Ironman 2” lift, JW off-road roof rack and orangeboxx fab rear door molle rack are enroute. Chrome delete, front bumper, sliders, and maybe some more aggressive 285’s are on the list as well.

What.... teasing us with just ONE photo???Trying out Black Bear Pass
Impressive, ran the trail a couple times when I lived in Farminton NM. I had a highly modified TJ at the time but still some pucker factor desending into Telluride. Steep 3 point turns ....love it that your GX got it done.Trying out Black Bear Pass
damn... that is some beautiful scenery, and looks like a lot of fun.
Here’s my 2017 right after the Ironman stage 2 kit.

I only took two photos on Black Bear, had a Jeep behind us and didn’t wanna hold him up.
Here’s the other
Ophir Pass
Cinnamon Pass
This is not a pass
...and so isn’t this one.
That’s beautiful.
