Build The SUBdued GX470 build

[subspd]

Okay thanks, did you have to modify the corrolla badge to attach? Nice! Look forward to seeing the finished product!

As @Bralow says you have to figure out how to mount the front emblem. I took the Lexus L off and then took double sided tape and mounted it to the factory bracket. It isn't that hard.

Getting there. The Rivet nuts stripped on me for the lower bumper bracket so I’m on hold at this point. If anyone wants photos of something just let me know....

 

[subspd]

Simple camera solution. So far so good!

 

[subspd]

Had an extra power port and decided to use it by tapping the front one and running power to the back. Decided to put it at an angle so it won’t be kicked as easily.

If anyone knows where to get a cheap 8 hole FJ wheel for my spare I would love to match it up.

Looking good man! May have to do the rear USB thing.

Rear sleeping platform and storage build...

Step 1. build a box. Mine is 42" wide and 36" deep 12" high. I used 1/2" birch ply to keep it light.

 

[subspd]

Step two.
Added a rear channel to extend into a sleeping platform when needed.

By simply putting a block under the rear seats this lifts them up level.

 

[subspd]

Step 3. Wings! I used a simple piano hinge to have a flip up. Then just added a small brace so that they rest level. Then got fancy with a leather pull strap...

 

[subspd]

So I just bedliner sprayed the setup so that it would add some resistance to scratches and then I will throw the factory carpet mat on top.

ising keyhole picture frame mounts I added these little winglets to the sides. I wanted to be removable for access and also to make removing the setup easier when needed.

Roof rack using 8020/tnutz...

I added a little rear extension to make use of the space. Main bars are 3” back section is 2” and 1”.

Nice! Did the cross bars generate any wind noise?

@TahoeLX450 Could you post a parts list?

I have a spare one, but the lip is a little corroded. It could be sanded pretty easily if you are going to paint it anyway.

@Dharma Dude Here is the list you don't need all of this hardware but this is what I ordered. I made sure to order more hardware than I would need.
