Looks like you had fun! Was that from pushing it on harder trails, or just from the normal stuff? I want to head out there at some point, but if that's what you get with armor, I'll have to wait quite a while haha.

Pushed it pretty hard, with a lot of (no f**ks) keeping up with the straight axles.
This is not my DD

The body roll on the GX is pretty intense. It flexes A LOT on the body mounts vs frame. I am planning on replacing all my body mounts at some point with the theory that they are old and therefore allowing a lot of that movement.

I’m Going to start with dropping the bumper down a little.

Friday I told Onur I was channeling my inter Dan Kunz right before a step drop off

How’d she do? Wanted to make that run with you guys. Haven’t had chance to really test the GX yet... don’t want to run RC until the rig is buttoned up a little better. Could run greens all day but what fun is that!
Looks like you ran the North property with Gary and Greg. Always a good time and they always run a great mix of trails.

It was a blast, I think it surprised a lot of people
Strap like 4 time Friday
Saturday no straps
Beat my armor up pretty good

Plot twist:

Wife wants to trade back. Lol

 

[landwagon]

You know there other day
She show me a 40 series for sale and says. If I get you this can I have MY Lexus back?

Well yes!

I can always go back to building the taco (still have the skids and sliders for it)

 

[GXO]

I saw Onur's posts. Looks like a fun place. Never made up north to wheel (yet)

Good times at RC4x4
You should come up coal miner
Is in July.

 

[GXO]

2019 is the Texas loop. Roundup and Jambo in March and May. I might be able to make it for July, but I have major stuff to do for FJ Summit and for the kids and another truck or two to build. Timing is everything! In 4 years I am an empty nester so I can wander the earth a bit more.

Mounted the high lift this morning

 

[landwagon]

Just remounted the front bumper and ended up cutting about a 1/4 inch off the fender flare.
I like it much better now.

 

[landwagon]
