Welcome to the forum! :cheers:
In reference to your comment, "... there are a lot of nice rigs ... on this site." yours is definitely not too shabby either!!
Tell us a little about what all you've done! If you plan on hang'n out for a while, you may want to start a build thread and put all your build info there.
Pic's are always a treat!
Don't forget to check out the sticky posts on the main forum page too!
 
Nice rig! More details!!! Are you new to Toyota/Lexus 4x4's? New to offroading? Plans for a few more upgrades?
 
i had a Tundra before, just to big for trail riding... I've been looking at gx's for awhile. finally pulled the trigger.
Yep, originally all trails were made for the width of a Jeep. (Gosh... wonder why??)
So with that being said, the old Jeeps were pretty narrow. Now that Jeeps have grown in width form the factory, in addition with wider off set wheels, etc. the trails have become wider also, but now they're wide enough for Taco's and old Landcruisers. Full size trucks still are not too happy on these trails. But who knows? If Jeeps keep growing...
But then again, there's the whole length of the vehicle to deal with. When I had my F350 crewcab overland build rig on 37" tires, there was no such thing as a "U" turn. Almost every turn was 10 point plus turn to move that beast around. And forget about any parts of a trail that pinched!

A buddy of mine has a little Suzuki Samurai 4x4 and that thing is so short and narrow, it can go down almost any rabbit hole! With his open diff's, he can usually do what everyone else does with full lockers.
