I went balls out and ordered my timing belt/water pump kit, alternator, hoses, fan bracket bearing, drive belt idler and tensioner and a new belt. Right on par for the 180k interval it’s due at.

That helps. LOL.
Had my 275/70 S/T Maxx tires mounted on graphite TRD Pro rims. **stock suspension**. Zero rubbing forward or reverse. The TRD wheels pushed the tires out just about flush with the fenders, which is much more than I anticipated (in a good way).
I did the fender liner mod that pushed the front liner about 1.5” forward. Not the best picture, but there’s about .5-.75” or clearance now. The 275s would probably rub without moving the fender liners.

Looks awesome!
I drove mine in awful atlanta traffic...
Also diagnosed some some squeaks as well as why my rear AC controls were loose.

Updated the other axle to a matching 5th gen unit and replaced a very leaky axle seal. The rope trick is fantastic.
Rope trick? [Starts searching....]
I replaced old air springs with new ones. Was easier than I expected. If you're in the Phoenix area and need info let me know. Old ones lasted 14 years, if these die a day after the 2 year Amazon warranty period I won't be upset.
Also while I was down there I adjusted the automatic height control (AHC) sensor, so I'm riding an inch or so higher than stock out back

Installed my new Demello plate bumper and loving it!
Made 1820 miles from Californy to Minnesota for Christmas with my parents. 2 years in a row for the GX and I wouldn't want any other car for the trip!

We woke up to 10" of fresh snow at the house. I clicked on the (unconventional) rack lights and got some playing in. These are just a couple pics from the house.

Got my Dissent front bumper installed. Will update the Dissent thread later. Turned out great!
Busy December - installed new LED low beam bulbs, new LED high beams, timing belt/water pump service (all hoses and idler pulleys), and currently traveling back to Portland from Sacramento on a family trip, 196k and counting !
