Mine was ordered mid May, this Friday will be a full 12 weeks. Hopefully ships the end of the month, I have a trip in late September to CO, UT and the week I get back I'll be instructing at the Panhandle Overland Rally.
Ha, you've got 6 more weeks, plus 2 for powder coat and 1 for shipping! I'm kidding, kind of. This "new" economy sucks, but I'm getting used to it. What can you do? I ordered full skids from RCI, and they're coming in piecemeal, every few weeks/months. Again, what can you do? I don't think vendors are intentionally screwing us over. I also do see prices EVER returning to pre-pandemic levels, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this stuff now. It's only going to go up. Front bumper options for the GX are still pretty limited, and I like the blend of function and form on the Victory MUCH better than anything out there. Don't see the supply chain/labor issues getting any better soon.

I'm saving two weeks on the powder coating. Ordered it raw, I'll fit it figure out what and where I want to drill holes, etc. and send it to my buddies shop for powder coating. Drop off Monday, pick up Friday, install Saturday.
 
 
Super excited - just ordered the strike rear bumper, adventure carriers, and the tailgate table. Can't wait to get this stuff on the rig! Anyone have any recommendations on what lights to use on the rear bumper? I've been thinking a Diode Dynamics Stage Series pod would be nice, but not certain on what I need in terms of mounting / lighting flood.

Fixing up the red GX lower doors from Colorado.

Probably a long shot, but I know I would love and have seen a lot of interest here and on GXOR in a non full bumper based rear tire carrier swing that swings with the door. They typically use the location of the rear lower light for the hinge but wonder if there is a way to work around that.
 
So we are winding down from the GX460 platform. Any parts we missed that you would like us to consider?
Probably a long shot here as well, but I’d love to see two things:

1) Some sort of bottle opener attachment for your adventure carriers

2) An aluminum auxiliary fuel tank to mount in the factory spare tire location. Trail’d makes some plastic ones that are not hard mounted, but I’ve read questionable reviews. I bet that a permanently mounted auxiliary fuel tank would gain a lot of interest since most folks are running the spare on the bumper (and the GX drinks fuel).

You’ve done an awesome job with the platform, and I’m looking forward to any other products!

What's happening with the rear shelf, between the rear quarter MOLLE panels??
Is that still a go? I've been waiting on you guys to finish it so I can get one to go with your rear quarter MOLLE panels I already have installed!
Please keep me/us posted!!!

I think this is already available

 
As far as I'm aware the only options for a 3rd row delete are either Goose Gear or custom. Maybe you guys would like to take a crack at it?
Exactly what I would vote for. Aluminum with lift up storage would be awesome.
 
+1 on those lower shock guards. Btw, front skid as is works with treaty oak spacers.
Rago lower shock guards for 5th gen 4Runner fit GX 460, would imagine anyone elses would as well.
