    a little too tight on the headlights. It will flex and push up on them possibly breaking something.

    other than that it looks great. I would have liked to seen a lightbar cutout too.

    GX bodies move a lot on the frame, my bumpers have dented my body up. I also have 3/4 inch gaps.

    Was a tad disappointed the washer weren’t made of gold.

    Guess it’s time for a rear bumper.

    @klavender1 ventured out of the Starbucks parking lot and headed to uwharrie. We got matching dents. I tried pulling the dent out when I came off a ledge and snagged my bumper.

    I meant to say thanks to @McRib for stopping to check on my after pulling over leaving Uwharrie. My low tire light stayed on after airing up and I was making sure all were properly inflated. Even double checked on Sunday and they were. Pull the codes to day at work. There were codes for the TMPS system....for the second set of wheels that don't exist. I accidentally pushed/kicked/whatever the second set button low down in the dash. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Got my 255/80r17 AT3s mounted today. They are beefy. I like the size compared to the 285s I had on my Tacoma. The big/heavy GX rides way better on these E rated tires than the P rated I had on before. Here are some shitty pictures.

    Thanks! They fit really well. Only SLIGHT rubbing on the plastic liner of the front bumper. I'll push it back later today. Clear UCAs great and clear the cab mount and pinch wells sufficiently too.

    Did the windshield washer bottle relocate for some reason. Maybe I thought sweating for hours on a June Sunday afternoon was fun. Overall it was pretty easy. Although the pump on the far left side in the pic is leaking slightly. Maybe I need to sand down the raised wording that's on the bottle and apply some silicone caulk around the gap. Is this mod needed? Probably not.

    Steps:
    1. Order this, it's cheap
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E35UV2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8

    2. If you're in the South and you are doing this in any other month besides January and February, apply bug spray.

    3. Remove OEM exposed to the elements when you have a metal front bumper bottle. It's not hard. A few bolts and unclipping some connectors.

    4. Drill appropriate sized holes for the 2 pumps and level sensor. In my case, drill a 1" hole with the largest size wood drill bit I had and then use a dremel sanding wheel to open it up.

    5. Use self tapping screws and screw the new bottle to the inner fender.

    6. Use self tapping screws to attach fender liner to inner fender.
