Hi Folks!
I've been designing & selling things for the 100 Series LC/LX for about a year now, and for the 4th Gen 4Runner for about six months. I've recently picked up a (currently non-running, needs an engine swap) GX470 to start using to design parts around too.
My first product for the GX470 actually turned out to be one that I had previously designed for the 100 Series - my Steering Column Scan Gauge II mount. As luck would have it, the upper steering column is the same between the two trucks! This puts a Scan Gauge II right where it's easy to see the accurate engine & transmission temperatures that it provides:
(shout out to the dudes over at Goliath Offroad - they were the ones that figured this out! They ordered one for their 100 series, and out of curiosity tried it on the GX470 as well!)
The second product (that was just released today!) is the GX470 version of what I call the NIGHTHAWK (after the stealth fighter, not a step-brothers reference, hah!). This replaces the 3rd brake light on top of the hatch, and (in this iteration) integrates a Diode Dynamics SS10 Chase light. The SS10 is awesome - besides being a chase light, it also has brake light & reverse light functionality built right into it. Like my other NIGHTHAWK designs for different trucks, you can also select whether or not you want to mount a Wolfbox camera up top too - making it a sleek, all-in-one solution. It's engineered to keep water out of your hatch as well via a combination of gaskets & grommets, so you don't have to worry about that long-term either.
Right now I've only got the body-mount version available, but once I find an OEM spoiler to scan & test fit with that'll be coming next!
(please excuse the filthy truck - I promise once I have time to swap the engine it won't be parked under a tree anymore!)
I'd love to know what else the community is interested in - besides some pretty snazzy 3D printing, I also do CNC laser cutting & bending as well. I'm constantly looking to solve problems, so don't hesitate to reach out!
