    I’ll be loading up gx with dogs and kids and driving 5.5 hours to northeastern Oregon in few weeks. See how it handles snow and ice in grandpa spec.

    I was looking at the site yesterday. I REALLY like the gx bumper without the hoops.

    I didn’t even know how much I have missed a proper rear door in my life. So many possibilities.

    Your gonna love the GX. This is my first SUV ever and for a single dad of a 5 year old...its perfect. The OME rides a little stiff but its still rides ok. The 4.7 has got about 240k on it and runs like a damn sowing machine. ATRAC works really well. I have zero complaints.

    I really want suspension with a nice soft ish ride. I had BP-51’s on my Tacoma for a couple years, the ride was excellent when they weren’t broken. I’ve heard rumor the ARB made some changes to a few parts. For what it cost for the whole kit I want to try them again but I really, really, really don’t want the headache they gave me before.

    I know alot of GX and LC owners swear by Dobinsons. If i was building from scratch id likely go that route instead of OME

    My neighbor has the basic Dobinsons setup on his 4th gen T4R and the ride is pretty good. I’ve heard many good things about the MRA system. I would love to find someone local with the IMS shocks to take me for a ride.

    Sitting at a stop light leaving work listening to G63 rumble away. I think An exhaust upgrade will be necessary. I didn’t do it on my taco because I never heard anything that sounds good with a v6. I think the muffler delete is to loud but I would like to hear it a bit when I push hard on the throttle.

    My mother in law has a GX460. I always take it to the gym when we're visiting for the holidays. Such a nice ride. I wish the Tacoma came with that 4.6L V8.

    Congrats on your new GX...

    If you think your GX is rocket ship now, look into the Pedal Commander. I install this on our GX460 and man it's truly a joy to drive now, highly recommended. Love the throttle instant response...:burnrubber:


    We installed the BP-51 also, awesome ride.
