    I’ve tried to grow those two years in a row with zero success. Also the GX is a super nice vehicle. It’s totally worthy of a retirement vehicle.

    I would love to take it on a 3-6 month trip to Alaska. One of my best friends took the whole summer off and drove his JLUR and had off-road daily. I can’t say I would trust a Jeep that much unless it’s on a trailer.

    Issue with a GX on that kinda trip is the premium fuel. Price/availability.

    If it wasn’t for premium fuel and no CarPlay/android auto, I might have went GX over Taco.

    Nice build. Definitely makes me jealous.

    Price isn’t a problem (in my mind. It is what it is). Availability is though. Thanks for the input.

    There will be 4 of them total and they will be holding up a new transformer in one of our sub stations. F9A270C6-4D35-476E-80D5-B3ABE401ADEC.jpg Bearings like these will bolt to the pedestals then a transformer like this will weld to the top of bearingsC7A93E31-AD5B-438B-B70B-797989AA3450.jpg

    If you cut any more though it'll just look bad. Time for a custom bumper.

    I’m leaning towards buying one for a Prado since it would be airbag compliant but we’ll see. I would also like to build my own out of aluminum.
