I've known about these guys for a while. I've always fantasized doing their 44" tires package. Partially for the looks I'd get for the shear absurdity when passing folks going down the highway, and the other of being unstoppable on any trail, rock gardens, whatever (except squeezes).
They don't say on their website and one would have to "enquirer", but I'm sure you'd need to upgrade ALL drive shafts, CV's, brakes, etc. Although, the best way would be to just do portal axles: 74Weld - Legacy Portal Axle - Lexus GX460 (2010-2023) - https://runnin4tacos.com/products/74weld-portal-axle-lexus-gx460-2010-2023?srsltid=AfmBOoqrEe_ioizoElSBggYf9ExIyirfaOXFxidgHuELjI-mGsHJUGWd for 44" tires.

Yea, no portals. They do a solid axle swap for their arctic expedition trucks.

Portals are not reliable enough unless you are talking Mog Axles.

The Arctic Trucks mods certainly look cool, and may make sense if you are going to traverse Greenland or Antarctica, but would be far to wide for most any wheeling trail (I bet their J150 is as wide as a Super Duty dually). The fender flares, steps, and mudflaps would nearly immediately get ripped off wheeling around here :).

Interestingly enough, the first motorized Antarctic crossing was in modified Ferguson TE-series tractors! Basically the same tractor as the Ford N-series that was last built in 1952 but is still widely used as work/mowing tractors all over the USA today.
 
The AT37 isnt so chonky.

True, but it's still far too wide for wheeling trails here in the Ozarks. My GX470 is almost too wide at 74". A stock LC250 is 78" wide, with the flares I'm estimating the AT37 to be 84-86" wide. I think the same thing whenever I see a Bronco Raptor cruising around - probably an awesome rig in open country, but kind of useless in our area.

One thing I'll give Jeep props for is that their fenders easily come off for woods wheeling. The AT37 would be a bit more multi-use if the flares were easily removable.

Would be fine here if you are cool with scratches. The Jeeps i wheel with are much wider than me

My rig has many, many scratches at 74" of width. The roof is the worst actually (from low-hanging branches), but the sides are also covered in pinstripes.

Don't mind the scratches, so long as they'er only surface and not down to the metal. Badges of honor!
What I don't cross the line at is buckled fenders and doors from boulders and trees.
As mentioned above, Jeep fenders come off and on easily, hence if you trash one, it's a relatively cheap and easy repair. Not the same story for our beloved GX's.
 
Went to download FH6 the other day... not compatible with my 13 year old Xbox One. And Xbox is raising the price of the current models by $150... ugh
Yea, its the first horizon written to fully take advantage of the Xbox X. Looks amazing on 4k120.

If you have game pass you can play it on Xbox one series through “the cloud”. Have been since released! I almost bought a new Xbox untill my son showed me. It actually does pretty good too. No glitches, decent download speeds. If you don’t have a 4k Tv this will give you a reason to buy one! Graphics are amazing.

Yep. I have mine hooked to a 46" LG C1.

I have had to service it, which was pretty easy. Definitely recommend.
 
Every rig I've had since the 70's has had scratches all over it. And at least one small dent someplace. From Wa. State to the Twin Tiers of NY/Pa. and in between. I agree that the narrower the better and one reason I bought a Polaris Northstar Trail Boss. Even then after 2.5 years have a small dent in the GX and scratches all over it. Last Fall tried to buff them out and did a decent enough job but a few are beyond my ability to take care of. Next year may be time to take it in and have it done right but I know that there are many more to come. Never bothered me before so much until I went to sell them, the GX they do bother me for some reason. Because it is such a nice vehicle maybe?

OK back to the pictures. Black Line tail lights on 19 GX draw quite a crowd

I bet. Then again anything would look amazing to me, considering the age of my Xbox and the 10+ year old TV it's hooked up to.

Xbox, and computers, have jumped a lot in price due to the memory shortage. The big 3 memory makers are focusing on High Bandwidth Memory right now for AI demand. Any end in sight is quite a ways out yet. My answer to it was to buy more Micron (MU) stock and DRAM ETF when it came out. No regrets, although it is volatile, then again so is most of the Tech sector.

Last Fall I finally replaced my 20 year old 50" Panasonic Plasma TV and Denon AV receiver. Both are still fine and my youngest son has them now, he is pleased with them. Although for gaming he still uses a large newer monitor. I ended up with a 77" Samsung TV and 3800 series Denon AVR so added 2 more speakers. Should have done it sooner, a lot sooner.
 
Your northern deer are much more muscular, well-fed, and healthy looking than our scraggly Ozark deer :).

Our backyard has been taken over by clover and is basically a food plot. It's not uncommon for us to have 4-6 grazing in the evening. Unfortunately, my kids consider our yard deer as pets and off-limits for harvest, yet they go in the deer stand with me at the family farm and even help field dress (guess those deer are OK to take as they don't see them daily :)).

Bergmann's Rule, an ecogeographical rule stating that within a broadly distributed taxonomic group, populations and species of larger size are found in colder environments (higher latitudes and higher elevations), while smaller-sized ones are found in warmer, equatorial regions. I remember when Alabama went to a deer a day limit. I told my cousin there that it was because they are so small you can stuff them in your game pouch 🤣

Yeah I can shoot bucks that make book from my deck during season. While smoking a cigar and having a cup of coffee. But my son calls it Urban hunting and doesn't want to and we used to drive 6 hours and live out of a tent and hunt deer. WTH... But some of the best memories I own are with him camping and hunting.

Apparently the wild turkeys don't want to be left out either

@Cold Iron - I enjoy seeing your wildlife pics. We have lots of deer, elk, bear, turkeys, bobcats, lynx, mountain lions, wolves and foxes that pass through our place.
