Greetings!
A couple of weeks ago I bought a 2016 GX460 and quickly(within 36hrs) sold our 2015 Tacoma.
It was hard to watch the Tacoma go, as Bertha was a great truck, but I wanted to get back to a SUV and didn't want to give up having a truly capable 4x4. Never mind doing it all in luxury!

This forum has already become a rabbit hole that I have gladly gone down...the knowledge base here is incredible.

My trucks mostly see 2 tracks, ORV/Snowmobile trails, power line cuts, occasional dunes but no "rock crawling".
She will see plenty of time in the woods while fishing, bird hunting and scouting for both. Oh, and plenty of NOMI beach time!

Today Althea is getting fresh drivetrain fluids, oil change and sparks.
Already did Husky mats front, rear and cargo along with K&N air & cabin filters.
Waiting for temps to stay above 40* so the front windows can get tinted.
Then it will be full chrome delete.
The fun parts are ordered-
Dobinsons IMS with SPC UCA(already delivered), Black Rhino Stadiums and Falken Wildpeak AT3w 275/70/17 are the first major upgrades.
Once the lift and wheels/tires are done I'll post some pics up.

Here's a pic of the Taco and the GX currently...

Welcome! This particular rabbit hole is pretty addicting... If you're married just wait until your spouse takes over yours and you have to buy another one. Ask me how I know. ;)

Haha! It will pretty much be her daily, as her commute is less than mine- I’m in sales and drive 30k+ a year. But that just means I get to drive the APR tuned Audi Allroad with 350hp 🤣😁😆
She loves the GX so it’s a win win.

She’ll have a hell of a daily driver!!
 
Thought I’d post where the GX/Althea sits now and give an update to the plan.
@Victory 4x4 aluminum sliders are ordered. Might tackle the install myself so any tips would be appreciated.
Wheels, tires and lift installed by Expedition Vehicle Outfitters along with doing the step delete and prep for sliders and Rago Fab ditch light brackets & Baja Designs yellow squadron lights.
Bought the Morrflate system, it’s the 💣 !!! Down to 20psi in minutes and back up to 33psi in minutes. Way too easy.
