I’m wondering if anyone has knowledge on how deep the rear license plate panel on a GX470 is. I’m thinking of using some Rigid Industries flush mount LED’s to do a “stock” or “well-blended-in” look for some rear lighting. Chime in please because I’m too scared to cut without being sure it will work, I cut up my a-pilar plastic cover in my 80 series once to mount a tweeter and the depth kept it from working so I get to look at the missing cover every time I drive it. Not going to make the same mistake again
Here’s the front to give an idea of the “stock” look that I’m going for, I was inspired by the Rigid Ford Raptor setup and almost bought that Rigid mount for the Raptor to do it but I found a better (cheaper) way.
There are a lot of reinforcement. Not really sure how deep. It's easy to remove the inner trim. There is only a couple screw that hold the basket strap. Remove the handle clip and the rest are just snap on clips.
I did the bumper since it's already cut anyway. I only use cheap auxbeam led. Don't feel the need for high performance backup light. I update the backup camera when I did the non nav conversion and pretty much does not need the extra lighting any more.
