Builds Skorcher's GX Build

Any difference in road noise with the baseplate? Did you apply any sound deadening?

I did not apply any sound deadening. So far I can't tell the difference in road noise but I didn't really drive with it too much yet to be sure.

I got the Icon suspension, but I have no idea what their max weight rating is. I did get the heavier rear springs on it.

I figured this, not speaking of your suspension.

I am curious as to who makes your vehicle lift device and what its rated capacity is.

The lift was actually my buddy's as he was helping me with the install. It's a Quickjack BL-7000 EXT with the truck adapter kit

It was a beautiful day today in Phoenix so my buddy and I spent the day installing my Victory4x4 Blitz front bumper and Metaltech rock sliders. Ran into some snags along the way but it was nothing we couldn't handle. Still need to finish wiring up my light bar and cut and reinstall my factory rockers above the sliders, but I think it came out pretty well so far.

Looks awesome, great job I’m running the same sliders and l love how they look.

Depending on how much you trim the stock rockers you may have to unhook the sliders to put them back in place. I ran into some trouble trying to squeeze them back in after installing the MT sliders.

Also, you can get a set of LED rock lights from Amazon, if you were looking to replace the rocker panel lights that came from factory. Mounted them using the stock wiring and they look great at night.

Looks great! Just a suggestion, get some black traction tape (like what's used on skateboards) for the top of your sliders. They can be pretty slick when wet or muddy.

Just curious, what do I need to do to add a Build prefix to this thread?

Shoot one of the GX460 moderators an PM and let him know what your build thread is called and that you'd like to have a BUILD prefix.

Finally took my GX out for some real offroading today. We went up to Crown King here in AZ and the truck handled as well as I could've asked for. Awesome times!

Looks like you were working those sliders! No?

Didn't graze the sliders yesterday. The Blitz bumper got a small scuff on it, as did the ARB under armor. Surprised my stock rear bumper didn't get messed up.
