Awesome - thanks for the detail. Much appreciated. Trying to decide if I want to add this mod and go from 31"s to 33"s.

Looking heavily at buying the Prado rear door for the wife's GX460, which is a 2018 model. Any idea if it will fit?
Plug-n-play. Yes it'll fit. Just match your interior color and exterior colors. I don't believe you can transfer over the interior molded panels.
I’m thinking about trying it also. I guess a body shop would charge about $1500 to paint and install/fit.
Look over this fellows thread. He did an entire change over to a Prado (not the V8 to 6, of course) But all the badging and panels.
He sold it and is no long active on here, but his thread is!
Anyone else do this recently? @SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr ?
Still holding off on pulling the trigger - not sure how well the wheel/brace will hold up over the years with decent desert corrugations/trails we run here in SoCal. I'd only be running a 33"...

It’s the best thing I’ve done to the GX
A couple of my friends have theirs installed, but not much trail time but I’ve heard it’s solid. I’ll be tearing down my truck after I get back from Moab in a couple weeks to start my conversion and paint work
What's the quality of the aftermarket rear window glass like? Are you able to share some additional pics of the mounted wheel etc?
Thanks!
Aftermarket glass is fine, fits and the heating element works. Scared to break it as getting a replacement would be hard in the USA.
I went ahead and replaced the wiper bracket on my alibaba door. As you can see the OEM bracket is much better quality. When I used the alibaba bracket the wiper blade wouldn’t make uniform contact - likely unable to hold the right pressure. That seems solved with the OEM bracket. Part number shown in the picture.
