What Did You Do With Your 120 Today? (24 Viewers)

[tlin]

Completed Pioneer (Rhino Rack) install and moved my Foxwing off the 80. Bigger job than I expected, not the easiest thing to get done alone and only being 5'8". Once again, good to have tall buddies who live close and like helping out....

I went with the wider (54") rack, it'll hold my Porta Boat alongside a cargo box so didn't want to be too skinny up top.

Foxwing was just a quick opening - fairly windy day, just wanted to get it open since it's so damn cool and was anxious to see it on the GX.

Went to the dealership and had my dash replaced. (4 months) Got the airbag module recall done and pick up a set of rims I'll black out for my blizzard pearl GX.

Funny, I picked up a set of 5 brand new of the same (Craigslist) probably 2 months ago. Boxed up in the garage, will also powder coat to match sliders whenever I get around to it. I'm shamelessly copying @GXLee, thought his turned out great (not to mention they were cheap!).

Looks great! I wish I had gone with the wider option now that I've added the RTT as there's no room for anything else! Love the fox wing too.

Lol I copied someone else as well- so I can't take any credit. I will say that I originally considered powder coating too but decided against it as the center caps are plastic and may have been a challenge to match since they would have to be painted. So I decided that a few cans of spray paint and an afternoon continued the trend of keeping it cheap too.

Looks awesome. I love the wider rack that you went with. What are your thoughts so far ?

I haven't "used" it yet but am glad with the decision to go wider. It measures to easily accommodate the boat/cargo box combo I will have up there. Visually, it's not "too wide".

Biggest thing right now is that I'll probably re-hang my Foxwing - the Rhino brackets I bought aren't as stout in their as-intended installation as I'd like - I'm thinking I might drop them under the platform (attached to the underside structural channels) which will also advantageously drop the overall height by at least 2" (matters for clearance at the parking garage at work).

Not much to tell at this point in terms of usage but am glad I went for it and it's up!

Pulled the steps today and cut the trim off and reattached it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish trimming up the ends so it looks right. I just rough-cut it today.

Were you able to remove the molding clips intact? Mine did not break but the little teeth that hold onto the mounting holes are definitely worn and don't hold the trim as tightly. I'm planning on re-installing with double sided tape.

I broke one, when I couldn't get a good angle on it because a door was in the way. The rest came out okay.

I did a lot. Got wiring cleaned up from the dual battery, did the grip tape running board cover, added leds to the old running board courtesy lights, fixed my swing out ram, swapped in Mt lt rear springs, mounted my rebuilt secondary, and did the clear gorilla tape sunroof rattle fix ( it worked). Also did some fender trim cleanup and other little things.

Started trimming the step plastics. 1/4 complete:

Just driving my GX down the road minding my own business....when this thing rolled up on me!

 

[Bluetribal]

That thing should have Greenland plates on it. That looks like it's straight out of the Polar Ice

Finally received and mounted up the ARQ270 awning. It's actually bigger than I expected, but you certainly get what you pay for here. This ain't no Eezi-Awn. But it will do fine for my needs.

I ordered the upgraded Diff Support #2 before I go a brake the original inferior one. Prep prior to next years Moab trip. Now I need to figure out how to convince the Wifey that new gears are required in the back diff. That is a pricey sell. Might have to pull the family stranded in the middle of no where card!

 

[GXO]

That is a very real scenario

 

[JLee]

I finished trimming out the trim from my steps today - also pushed the fender liners forward a bit. I might have to do a little more...I thought I was good and rub-free until I got on the brakes and turned at the same time, then heard the tire hit the liner. So close..

Finally cut the running boards I had stored away to fill the gap. Pretty happy with it.
