Finally got this thing off-road for real as you can see above. I was very impressed with the performance. MTS and CC worked great. Very little wheel slip. I would engage the CC where I may have normally engaged a locker or 2 on my LX450. I know they are not the same but that CC sure does work. The only thing I was disappointed in was the Dobinson's rear bumper. I came off a small rock and smacked the driver side wing. It pushed the wing up into the plastic and popped several of the clips (I got most of them snapped back in as you can see in the first pic). Later, I noticed the passenger side looked off too and I don't remember smacking it on anything. We took a quick look and it appears it's due to the slotted bolt holes for the wings. I will be investigating it further in the next 2 weeks or so. This is just going to hasten my plans to get Kevin to build the rear that I want.........Oh, and I pin striped it pretty good too......
Victory does make the best fit rear bumper for the 460. This economy needs to pic up a bit and I will be having one built as well.Finally got this thing off-road for real as you can see above.

My MetalTech dinged pretty badly too when I went through a rock garden a few years back also. That's when I realized I built my rig for overlanding, not rock crawling!Finally got this thing off-road for real as you can see above. I was very impressed with the performance.

My Oceano dunes trip went well. We got there pretty early and left once it got crowded and the wind picked up. Only saw one other GX but there were a grip of 80 series which was cool.
My wife took the wheel, which she never does, but promptly buried in on an incline. Easy to back out of, but she was done for the day.
A good time, for sure, but I don't know that I need to go back any time soon. I still prefer trails.

The Chevy flag creates opportunity for A+ trolling
Don't I know it, and well deserved at that. I borrowed it from a coworker who spends a lot of time in the sand. I figured, between having been here almost 25 years without ever going to the dunes and the upcoming closure, I probably wouldn't get much use out of my own flag. Could have been much worse though...
I just hate seeing American flags all tattered and frayed, covered with soot and grime, dragged through the sand. Use a Chevy flag if you're going to treat it like that.

This is all pretty disconcerting. I mean, I can beat the snot out of the OEM plastic and hit it with the heat gun to fix it for free. The whole point of shelling out the big bucks for a rear bumper is for "protection". If it can't handle a hit on the wing, it's not designed right.Yeah, but I don't want to be worried every time I go through some rocks that my bumper is going to tear up my plastics. And right now I am.........
Guess I'll stick with my trailer hitch and heat gun...after the damage
after the heat-gun fix. The wrap status is another story...

That looks a lot like my bumper without any protection at all. I'd be disappointed too after shelling out that kind of money. I've been looking at rear bumpers more than front, or even sliders, because that's where I always drag. Now I'm thinking it over and considering my options more. My condolences.This is all pretty disconcerting. I mean, I can beat the snot out of the OEM plastic and hit it with the heat gun to fix it for free.

Meh, mine's just black vinyl over the OEM white plastic bumper cover. Small dents will pop back out. I lost the battle over the practicality of wrapping the lower part of the truck. I don't think there's any real option out there that gets me excited for rear bumpers, if they all bend. C'mon @sleeoffroad , it's time to jump into the GX460 market for rear bumpers!!! Or maybe cutting the OEM plastic is the best option? Let's see some pics!
You have the part number or link to that grill? It looks a bit different than the new stock grills
My 2018. Had it stock for a while and recently put 275/70/17 Wildpeaks A/T3W on MR705s on 2 inch Dobinsons IMS lift. Also got done the interior LED light swap before the mod as well as Accessorides remote starter that works from my phone and the Pedal Commander (had both of these previously on 4r as well).
I'll keep it this way for a while until I save up some dough and I will probably put skid plates, rock sliders, and some exterior lights next.

Got this ‘12 a couple months ago. Had 63k on the odo, 2 owner Colorado GX. I just had RSG install the lift and 275 Wildpeaks mounted on the 17”TRD matte gray wheels. It drives so solid after upgrading that 10 year old suspension. Next up is to commit to buying RSG sliders when they have their open house with deals later this month(5/22)

Nice looking rig, what're your plans?

Congrats on your new Toy(ota) and welcome to the forum! 
No idea what you had before, but I'm quite sure you'll love it!!
Any plans for it now or after the warranty?

Shenandoah National Park in the fog. Also a rad little two-door Rav4 I saw in Williamsburg, Va.

That Rav4 borders on being a microcar!
Wonder if it's 4x4? Were you able to see axles in the rear? (considering it's a front wheel drive)
