New Owner of '08 GX470

Howdy all!

A little over a month ago I bought the family my dream vehicle hahaha. Been super solid since the purchase, but it has it's share of little hiccups here and there. (sloppy steering above 55mph, pulse brakes, cracked dash etc.)

As for history of myself (if anyone cares) I still have and own an '02 Tacoma. She's lifted on 32's and has been my "thing" since I graduated high school...in '04! Sold an '87 4runner that was absolutely pristine. And of course, owned many other vehicles/bikes/etc. far and in between the ones mentioned. Including my daily now, a '17 Prius Prime Advanced.

Been apart of TTORA since '05 and part of the dirt family for as long as I've owned the Tacoma. Just want to say I'm looking forward to adding my 2 cents here and there, and just getting back in the "community".

Cheers!

Congrats and welcome. What are your build plans? Mild, medium, or extreme?

Thank you kindly!

First would be getting the vehicle to trek smoothly on the highway. It's got a new set of tires but feels super sloppy. Haven't gotten a chance to take a look everywhere just yet. But similar enough, I replaced my steering rack bushings on the truck awhile ago and that helped the similar feeling.

But build wise, definitely a "medium". Before the overlanding term became a thing, I'd throw all the gear in the truck and camp out with friends for a couple nights in the middle "no where". Looking to replicate that with the GX.
