What Did You Do With Your 120 Today? (13 Viewers)

[ArBrnSnpr]

I bought the A1 lower control arms and had to rebuild my OEMs within about 15k miles after the A1 replacements failed. Hopefully you have better luck with the Moog parts.
I have become an OEM parts snob after trying to save money and experiencing failed Chinesium-made parts too many times.

got my JW Offroad molle panels. Now I'm figuring out how they fit

I tucked it into a frame rail for now but doing the aftermarket rock light thing too. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

What model number for the Nfab bars? I like that look but are they functional enough to put your weight on for strapping stuff on the roof? I don't really need rock sliders so this seems like a nice alternative to the flimsy stock running boards without the expense of sliders. Your rig looks great!

T0260R, 4runner of the same model year. No problem at all w support. I think it's a pretty common mod and definitely functional.

i have them on my 4Runner as well. They're solid. Plenty sturdy.

Finished replacing the chrome window trim (that was falling apart) under my with black window trim pieces sourced from Partsouq. Easy job; maybe an hour all in. Did a quick write-up of the process for anyone looking to do the same: How to change the window trim on your Lexus GX470 — GX Basecamp | Overland Cargo/Sleeping Platforms for Adventure Vehicles - https://www.gxbasecamp.com/articles/how-to-swap-your-gx470-chrome-window-trim-to-black

I drained 4.5 gallons of soy sauce out of the transmission and pumped in as much cranberry juice. It shifts very smoothly and we’ll see how much cooler it runs pulling the airstream up to 10,000 feet later today.

Installed my JW Off-road molle panels. My only issue is that there were no instructions explaining why there are two different lengths of bolts, one of which is not long enough to bolt two panels together.

Ticked over 470k while abusing it in the dunes. Missed the photo of 470k because we were having so much fun

I really need to do this

It is indeed. If you have any questions send me a message. August 7 would be a good day, the Toyota takeover is happening

Today, I replaced another pair of moog swaybar end links that failed within a year, again. Back to oem this time. I don’t think I’ve even been legitimately off road in a year.

Front or rear, and lifted or not? I'm planning to slice up the rears and extend them to accomodate the 2" lift and make them adjustable. Aftermarket adjustables are crazy expensive for what basically amounts to some threaded rods and I have a welder. I can see the Moogs breaking if you are lifted and they were acting as a travel limiter on the rear.

It's not the money issue for me, it's the downtime for my GX and the size of my shop. My shop is a 1-car that is bursting at the seams with auto tools and bicycling stuff and has limited room to work when the GX is parked inside it. I just don't have room for a press, or the desire to have my GX off the road for a week-ish why I fight to press out the old front LCA and rear CA bushings in the evenings. I should have a bigger shop in 2-3 years where I can comfortably store a press and several vehicles. If the Moog stuff wears out early, I can get the old LCAs and rear CAs updated with new poly bushings without getting my GX off the road and then just do a straight swap over with a few hours of downtime. Then I have another spare set of CAs that can be updated with poly bushings if I destroy one off road. The cost of Chineseum Moog parts AND the future cost of poly bushings to update the old OEM front and rear CA's I'm keeping is not much different than replacing all CAs with new OEM parts right now.

Changed my injectors, cleaned out the egr and didn’t stuff anything up thankfully
