A few days ago (10/17)! If the RX has the 10 pin connector like the new GXs, the 2020+ 4Runner one works.

I was in Arizona and Utah this past weekend too. Thursday night I camped out at Wing Mountain near Flagstaff. There were free grazing cows around the camp sites. Kind of cool and they didn't make too much noise.
On Friday I made my way through the Navajo Nation to Mexican Hat and spent the night in the Valley of the Gods.
Finished exploring Valley of the Gods before heading over to Monument Valley on Saturday.
Saturday night I camped at Lone Rock Beach on Lake Powell.
A Washington Post staff writer was doing a story about the drought and Lake Powell. He was talking to a lot of people on the shoreline. He gave me a compliment on my rig. Thats what he should be writing about!

I've heard about 470's having weaker diff's, especially with larger tires.

You have to watch out for those free range cattle when they're around your camp site. We (our Army unit) did a training exercise up at Camp San Luis Obispo in the hills with free range cattle. In the morning there were cow pies ALL around our tents. Had to watch where you stepped getting out of our bivvy

What a day. What a truck!
I finally had a chance to explore some territory that I've been eyeing for years. Piute Peak, Walker Basin, and the hills North of Tehachapi Pass. I started in Jawbone Canyon OHV, as I've done numerous times before. This is in the Mojave Desert, so I avoid it in the summer but every prior attempt had been thwarted by snow, so the window of opportunity to visit is narrow.What a day. What a truck!
I drove past where I got stuck in snow last January, and came to find out that road was a dead end anyway. Multiple maps show it crossing a small ravine, but no dice.
So I backtracked about 5 miles to get back to the main Forest Service road to the summit of Piute Peak, where we had some weather.
We tried to hike to the summit, but the wind was absolutely howling and the temp dropped fast. Waves of fog blew past the ridge, the thicker ones accompanied by rain and sleet.
Ferocious wind. It felt like having your head out the window on the freeway, probably 60-80mph gusts.
We left, hoping to find another hiking area further down the mountain, but the West side of the pass was very steep and even finding a pullout was rare.
There were huge, exposed drop offs along the way. A couple thousand feet in places.
Finally rejoined the pavement at the summit of Bodfish-Havila Road and turned South. I'd been up Breckenridge Mountain a few years back, but never ventured south of there so again I was in new territory.
At this point I would've loved to trade the truck for my Civic SI, that's one twisty ribbon of asphalt. It took us through Walker Basin, a picturesque agricultural valley that's pretty remote by California standards. Then another steep canyon drop to exit the range to the south. This is the southern terminus of the Sierra Nevada range and the highway marks the divide between the Sierras and the Tehachapis.
We got down to the freeway and headed back to the desert for the return trip. By this point the storm had a chance to consolidate and it rained much of the way home.

Wow! Never been up there (I think). My wife is really good at remembering all the placed we go to, I just store everything as video and pictures in my mind, she's able to also label them.
Can you either post or PM me a map of your route? I think I may want to do a day trip out there. You can start at any major highway exit.

Apparently Google has an adversion to routing me over a 50 mile trail, it keeps trying to make me go around on the highway. I'll have to try it on a real computer, but I'd be happy to share. I doubt there's much risk of the area getting overrun, you've got to be pretty committed to get up there from any major cities.

Thanks!
That turned out rather difficult to accomplish. Google really doesn't want you going down that route from the summit to Havilah. This link shows the round trip loop from Mojave.

The top leg of that rough rectangle is entirely unpaved, with countless side trails to explore. I'd also like to check out the hills between Twin Oaks and Tehachapi some time, but you've gotta save something for later.

Have fun and make sure you report back how it goes. Lots of ways you can modify the route as well, I've entered from Dove Springs OHV further North up the 14, and you can exit through Lake Isabella to Bakersfield to save some time as well. Google really preferred the southern route off the summit, down to Walker Basin, which is why I needed so many waypoints to stay on track. Go forth and explore!
Nice set up! I did Moab for the first time at Cruise Moab this year for the 25th anniversary - Rising Sun put on a HELL of an event.
Dome Plateau was stunning and Fins was super fun.
Did you powdercoat or plastic dip those wheels?Pulled the Ironman platform off and bolted on some pieces of aluminum square tubing I had laying around the shop, perfect fit! Now I’m able to strap the rocket box on. These bars are just temporary until I fab the forever rack. (Side note, if anyone is looking for an Ironman 6ft steel flat/hybrid platform lemme know)

1.75“/1.5” lift installed. Love the stance and look. Drives amazing.
What lift? Looks sharp.
Which lift did you go with? Dealer installed?
When considering all the things, I appreciate the mild lift.
Looks great!
