New to the GX470 world

[909GX470]

Hello! Just picked up an 05 GX470 w/ NAV and KDSS. going to slowly start building it up and using it for some off-road/road trips.
Here's a few pictures from the day I picked it up and took off the side steps.

Had a few questions and seeing if anyone is running the dobinsons set up and which one they are running?

Congrats! Looks like we’re twins...
No experience with Dobinson’s but I hear they are very good...hard to go wrong really, if you stay with the tried-and-true brands.
Have fun with your build...pretty brave to take the knife to it on day 1

Nice color! I have had mine for a couple of years but now finally getting around to a few mods so I am right there with you.

Things happen when you're bored and off for a few days lol. Your GX looks great! Do you have a lift on yours and if so what set up did you run?

No suspension mods and Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 265/70/17. I just finished my trimming and push forward of the fender liner to avoid rubbing.

It looks better than I thought it would with the 265/70r17. I just bought wheels and was thinking of going with a 275/70 or 285/70 with the same falkens.

I have the Iron Man foam-cell pro set-up, along with their UCAs. Very happy with on-road smoothness, and off-road capabilities, of this suspension.
Tires are BFG KO2, 255-75/17, on 4Runner takeoff wheels.

Have fun, and break out the credit card!
