Probably!
Every year our local Land Cruise Club volunteers with the Forest Service to patrol the local Christmas tree cutting area. We get people unstuck, help them if lost, etc. Today was pretty quiet but a fun day of snow wheeling. Most was snow packed with icy spots and some deep snow spots.
Looking small next to the JK on 37s and 80 with 4” lift on 35s
Got the car-b-que going to warm up the burrito

Yeah but you have heated leather seats and a v8... So it sounds like GX for the winter wheelin' win
Thanks for the reply, I did not know you could have two stems, makes sense to me.
That looks great!! how hard was it to run the wires?
Rago cargo pocket installed along w/ tire carrier.

This is more of a 'over the last week' saga but I installed 4.10 gears and an elocker. Installed Total chaos spindle gussets and upper and lower Metaltech adjustable rear control arms.
Had an odd bearing noise in the new-to-me rear diff. Thought maybe I went too tight on my bearing preload so I pulled it back out and readjusted.
Noise and vibration continued. I dreaded it being a bad pinion bearing and it was.
Pulled the diff a third time and did all new bearings and a solid pinion spacer.
Inner pinion bearing didn't have enough space for a bearing separator and i don't have a fancy clamshell puller so it came off the hard way...
Gear pattern looked good. Put it back in and everything is good so far.
Just need to build a wiring harness and I'll be done with that project.

Nice! Sorry about your bearing woes. Anything special about welding on the spindle gussets? I've got a non-sway bar set teed up.
They welded on fine once they were ground to fit. There were some gaps that I wasn't happy with that I attribute to total chaos's design.
I used the thicker top cap piece and had a hard time getting the UCA ball joint hole, gusset and cap to all line up. My guessets are straight and we did my buddy's at the same time and his had the same problem so we either got two sets that slipped through QC, or total chaos built them expecting the end user to have to do a lot of grinding to get them to fit.
You basically choose if you want your holes to line up or if you want the gusset edges to line up. If you pick having the holes line up, get ready to fill about 3/8" gaps with bead.
In the end, they are on the car and will serve their purpose but I was not impressed with the amount of grinding that was required to make them fit.
Here's a pick of both sets getting paint.

Hey where'd you get the rear door pocket cover (if you call it that?).
Info on tire carrier? Is this a new kit modelled from the FJ carrier, adapted to GX?
*Edit* got it Becky from acc, or hitch-mounted
tire swingout?.

Yeah sorry missed that. Nice bit of kit. Definitely on my to do list.
I did a once over on the GX: check your UCAs! Mine developed some sloppy steering and found my UCA bolts were finger tight.
