First post here, but I have been following the 120 forum for a while. Thanks to Scat Adams and Moab CJ5 I have turned the wife's 2007 GX into my off-road vehicle. I traded my FJ Cruiser in on a new GX 460 for the wife so now the 470 is mine. I need to post a build thread and will do that soon so others can learn just as I did.

Here's a quick picture of the GX all loaded up pulling the R-Pod. We are headed to Moab for the weekend. This will be the GX's first time off-road with all of the new mods. Really looking forward to the trip.
 
Have fun! I ran Moab in 2013 and it is literally like church! The gx will make it feel even more so. Prepare to grin the entire time lol
 
The family and I ran Onion Creek (so my 13 and 11 year old could drive off road, and the 32 creek crossings) today. Then we tried to get to Top of the World via Rose Garden Hill (something I wanted to do for a while). Well after 2.5 miles and 2 hours later we turned around. Never made it to Top of the World. Rose Garden was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Even with my 3" lift and 33" tires, my rear hitch must have scraped 10 times. There were some tippy spots and got to try out the Atrac a few times. All together, still a great day off road with the family in an awesome place. Here's a few pics.

I was out there last year, best time of my life. I did the Tower Arch trail in my GX. Should be out there again mid-late summer this year.
 
I did poison spider, fins and things, and a few others in 13. One my favorite places I have ever been to
 
We are about to head out again. Looking for rock art and dinosaur tracks. May hit the backside of Arches. There are a ton of off road groups here. X-Terras, street motorcycles, dirt and expo motorcycles, jeeps of course, but I'm the only lifted GX that I've seen. Keep getting weird looks, but I don't care. We have a great time wheeling in luxury!

I made it to the tower arch last year and there were 3 very friendly foreigners in rented lifted Rubicons with guides. They were taking pictures of my truck but didn't speak English so I had no idea what they were talking about. We left the arch at the same time and I kept up with them for some time, they'd pass me or I'd pass them, but they eventually outdid me on some obstacles I was concerned about my running boards on and they were gone.
