Its officially close enough i can measure for making brackets. Might look at using send cut send. My hope is to float the grill up and only need side filler. I also want to re-enforce the flat metal piece i mounted my winch controller to. I would like to move the winch controller to the center and have some lights on either side.

As previously mentioned my Garage Alpha grille was self destructing and my bumper cover was already fubar from multiple accidents. (F-ing Weld County) So this was really a limited jeopardy experiment.

next will be taking a 3rd or 4th gen hilux front bumper and mounting it off of that flat plate. It should help tie it all together. I can then convert to some more truck like turnsignals.

I have my winch controller at the passenger side fire wall. For me, this has been perfect.

Nice! Thats where I am putting my Air Compressor since my winch fuse and kill switch are where your air compressor is.
LFD, same company that made my winch mount makes one.

That's kind of how I am with our Jeep club. But I can absolutely hold my own, if I don't mind a little trail rash.

Same and same. I am willing to push my boundaries and thats always a risk/reward venture.

They always get surprised when they remember i don't have lockers.
 
This is me... The Devil in me says, "Aww, GO for it! Nothing will happen! Look! You got all them lockers and fat 'ol tires, steel sliders and all, what could go wrong!"
My wife on the other side is the Angel telling me, "If you crunch or crash, do you have any idea how much it'll cost you! AND how long you'll be without your precious toy!! Do this and I'll be SOOOO mad at you!!"

On a whim decided to make a single drawer that easily slides in/out of the GX. Gotta carpet the rest where the fridge and battery are.

First woodworking project actually, pretty happy with how it turned out

Already been camping with it over the weekend, going again this weekend, trying to see how efficient I can make my camp setup, fits everything I need so far though.

You'll have to let us know how that "brushless" motor works. Did you have an old ARB dual before? Or do you have someone nearby with one to compare with? If it's that much better, I may sell my ARB dual and get this new brushless one!

Had an HO single. Felt that I would regret it if I got the old one. Expecting significantly faster use.

Recently joined the club after my 97 FZJ80 was totaled by a careless driver - wanted something more modern to compromise with the missus. Looked at some 5th gen 4runners but we're both very glad we ended up in a GX. 2018 Premium with 61k on the clock.

Grabbed some 265/65/18 Sumitomos, replaced the gold emblems the previous owner installed (still need new center caps), and deleted the running boards. Using my buddy's lift this weekend to change the oil, transfer case fluid, front and rear diff fluids, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid.

More to come!

Do the coolant while you are at it!

1000% this. Radiator cracks up near the fill cap which can also induce head gasket failure.
 
I hate to add to your list, but honestly you might want to consider doing a complete radiator swap to an all-aluminum radiator, like the CSX. Our plastic radiators at around 100K do have a potential risk for failing (cracks around the plastic). I changed out mine a few months back and my transmission is running noticeably cooler (it has a built in transmission cooler). Just looking out is all....

Agree. They are also frequently on backorder.

The cracks on the radiator will usually happen as you're approaching the 100k mile marker. That's when mine went.
If/when you do replace your radiator get an ALL aluminum radiator, not OEM.
