Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

not in the immediate future. I have some CC debt that needs to be wiped out first.

 

What's the suspension y'all are running? May sit on the dash till everyone does it for the group buy

 

I'm on OME, dash I can wait on. I can do the swap myself, its not hard just time consuming.

 

OME over here too. OME front and rear with the Metal Tech coil conversion kit for the airbag delete. 0 complaints and works for what I use my truck for. I bought the entire kit together at once from ToyTec a couple of years ago.. no problems with them either.

 

Same I just bought it all via metaltech

 

Kings....eventually

 

They're cool, but for the price I couldn't justify Kings at the time when I lifted my GX. In total, for the entire kit I bought, it was like $900 or something. "Yes pleaseeeee" as I put in my CC information to buy it. lol

 

I'm looking to renew the suspension on my GX as well. I have $5k to spend with a couple of options:



I can either put all my money into a fully built suspension system, or go a little cheaper with the OME kit and then still get other goodies like a rear bumper w/swingout AND a roof rack. Not sure what I want to do yet...

 

Guess it depends on what you care more about and how you're going to use your truck. For me, I am on washed out roads and medium-difficulty trails 90 percent of the time, so with the OME kit I was able to save money and retain close to factory ride with little worry that anything is going to break on me. If I was to do it again, Id do the same OME kit and spend the other funds on bumpers, armor, lights, etc.

 

I would not run a uni-ball upper control arm up front for the simple fact they are a bitch to keep clean and will need replacing much more frequently than a normal ball joint.

I would go with Dobinsons or JBA front UCA's.

Also, why the need for rear control arms?

I've got BNIB firestone stock size bags I'll let go for $60 shipped or $50 picked up.

 

not vvti friendly

 

I'm already going broke...

 

Isn’t your 05 non-VVTI?

 

No, VVTI started in 04.

 

Story of my life.

 

I have an 04 GX470. vvt-i started in 2005. Same for the 4runner V8's.

Oh and hi guys I'm on the west coast. You guys like LX too?

 

Yes, but I’d refer you to the title of the thread

 

Out for a ride to make sure all is good for a trip to Rausch creek Thursday.
