2-3” lift max is the way to go.I have a 2” lift. Sorry for any confusion there.
Sourcing aftermarket parts from Australia can also be a pain. Although, it was hell of a bargain when I bought the vehicle 8 years ago.Welcome to the forum and congrat's on your ride!
Nice looking Montero! I've always lamented that there wasn't a better following of them compared to Toyota products. They were pretty cool.
Congrats and welcome to the forum!Just picked up a 21 GX460 this past weekend. Nothing major planned, set of 57DRXs w/ some decent ATs and a 1-2" lift sometime down the road.
Red interior w/ captain's chairs which is exactly what we were looking for.
Mostly a road trip and wife car around town for the most part.
Love it so far!

Interested in trying it more! I did ~10min on dirt from smooth to washboards of various sizes to some mega washed out sections to "crawl" through.Works like a champ for some of the dirt and gravel surfaces I drive on. It's definitely not for everyone and the system can take a few to disconnect because I think it needs to hit a neutral position before it will allow it to do whatever it does.
Congrats and welcome to the forum!
Adding a little larger tire with a taller side wall will:
- Give it a little more aggressive look.
- Provide a smoother ride from the extra flex of the taller side wall.
- Plus, when stock and you're the one driving it, do you want to look like you're just coming back from a violin lesson with your kid?
Truck looks great and I love the dissent products. I will be curious to see your thoughts on how the truck handles with the new rear decor!Picked up a new GX in December to be a combination family hauler and off-road platform. First stage of the build is complete with 2-3" Dobinson's suspension lift, KMC Technic 17" wheels, Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 285/70r17s, Apache Offroad UCAs, Sherpa rack, and RSG sliders. Also had to do a BMC to clear the tires. Work was all done by TEQ Customs in Raleigh, NC who are awesome.

I'm wrapping up my ARB twin compressor install, Switchpros, and SDoffroadMT mount tray tomorrow unless something goes horribly wrong.
Super happy with the current state. Phase 2 will be bumpers and winch. I'm doing CBI up front and I splurged and ordered the Dissent modular rear. I'll add some new photos when those show up in a few months and get installed.

More sunspot picturesYea, unfortunately solar photography is kind of its own thing. I have been working on sunspot photography over the last year or so.

You should be fine with 265/70r17s. I have 275/70s on 17x8.5 wheels and they fit with very minimal rubbing in reverse at full lock after some trimming/adjustment of the fender liners.Was looking at 265/65-17 or 265/70-17 if I can get away with a 31.7" tire with no lift/rubbing. Don't mind a bit of trimming but definitely want to keep the fender liners and not cut the bumper or anything. Wheel size probably a 17x8.5 -0 or -6. Had some good luck w/ Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the past but we don't wheel or anything fun, just occasional camping trips in fairly boring conditions. Just keeping it honest here.![]()
Do live somewhere with any cobblestone streets nearby? That's probably the easiest way to feel the difference between KDSS on and KDSS off - we have a bunch of cobblestones in Richmond and with the KDSS in normal mode there is a fair bit of chatter driving on them in the 25-35mph range. It is noticeably smoother when you turn KDSS off.Installed the drKDSS harness and switch today...
...Don't notice all that much a difference in my short testing, except slower more articulated stretches.
I lifted and did a trip right after. A couple of things. If you’re doing any “challenging” trails I’d go ahead and pre cut the front bumper. Also do your fender massage before you start your journey. Great vehicle for this region. I had a great time out there.Did some things; Eibach Stage 2 Lift (gave me 2" in front and 2.5" in rear and the on road ride is fantastic), OME UCAs, DRKDSS Shorty bolt on correction kit and the Nomad 503 Sahara wheels in Dusk wrapped with Toyo Open Country AT3s. Very happy with how it turned out. Planning a trip through the San Juan mountains this summer.
