Ladies and Gentlemen,
After 6 years of watching my wife drive out 2014 GX, I have taken it over as my primary vehicle. When we bought it I knew this day would come where I could build something I wanted.
Huge thank you to everyone that has contributed to this site. I’ve spent the last few weeks absorbing. I wanted to share my build. Both for feedback on ideas, and just because this community is amazing.
This will be a daily driver but I’d love to take it off road some / overland. My travels will be light. Easy trails and taking my girls camping. Think county, state and national forest roads. However I want something that looks unique to all the mom GX’s in our area.
Here’s what I have going so far!
-Last weekend I did the running board removal/trim (pics attached)
- Silly upgrades like the OSB that makes the rear views pull in automatically. Kind of like it though.
- Uni secondary intake filter.
- LED interior lighting. Love this
- Tint this week
- Planning on putting 275/65 R18 Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires on it. Would love feedback on this and have read all the forums on tire size.
- Went ahead and replaced the notorious bold with a flat metal screw and heated fender plastic back some and removed front mud guard.
- Rock Slider will be here next week.
- Plan to wrap it Matte Military Green and do a chrome delete. Also make the stock wheels black. Can’t decide on Matte, Satin or Gloss.
- Here’s where I’m stuck. I’m looking at a strut spacer to lift the front 1/2” or going ahead with the Bilstein 5100. I like working on it myself. I can do the strut spacer, but don’t have the coil compressors to do the Bilstein. Would love thoughts.
Plan to keep this updated as the build progresses.
Any advice or thoughts are appreciated!
