Took the wife and FIL out to the mountains for some target practice and lead therapy.

To keep it GX related, here’s my best quick attempt at stuffing 3” of lift and 33’s with a little flex...need more flex I think.

Also a random pic of one of our trips.

Great looking rack!
If you ever add a light bar to your Gamiviti and want a clear faring, let me know.
I've made a template so you can cut one out of a sheet acrylic (Lexan)
I created it in SolidWorks and saved it as 3 PDF's. The PDF's are 11"x17" so just print them full size (1:1 scale) and splice the 3 sheets together and you're set!

How are you liking those Yokohama MT's? How's the noise and tread life?

 

[shadowz]

They've been good, on road noise has been tolerable. Only had them for a few months so we'll see how the tread life is like

Last weekend up Snoqualmie Pass, Wa. Going again this weekend. I love the snow.

What suspension and tire size you running?

 

[HDrdglid]

New to me 460. New shoes (265/65R18). I’m digging the switch from 470 to 460.

Satin cashmere metallic, Sepia interior
Old Man Emu 2-Inch lift

What suspension and tire size you running?

King 2.5 extended travel, 295/70/18

 

[Prado GX460]

Dobinson’s shocks and coils. They have KDSS specific coils that are offset from passenger side to driver side to compensate for lean.
Dobinson’s upper control arms give you 3 degrees of forward castor to allow the clearance you need to avoid BMC.
VTX Offroad Wheels Stinger SL in Satin Black 17x9 0et
Toyo AT3 Load Range C 285/70/17. 33’s

next will be
Sliders
Full length low profile roof rack
full size spare solution

Shoutout to
Rich at VTXwheels.com

I sold my 80 to another member here and got myself an upgrade. I've been learning a lot in this forum, and planning my to-do list for this truck. I'm very impressed with the stock capabilities; I've had it for 5 weeks, and been off road 4 times so far. We may never tackle the Rubicon trail, but I will enjoy my warrantied reliability and air conditioned seats much more than the trouble prone and obsolete 80 with its torn up interior. Some things in life are better than a solid front axle.

Back to tire shopping...

As a former 80-Series owner I can honestly say that you will always miss the straight axle up front, but it's mostly a mental thing and in actuality not something 90% of us need on a regular basis. I complain about IFS from time to time but the fact of the matter is that it's the best thing to have and live with on a daily basis.
