Pics of the Build Process



Had to take the family out for the first test drive!!!


The point of no return. I will be designing and building my own off-road bumper.

 

I scanned front of m GX a few months back. I need to take another scan with the stock bumper off so I can measure and accurately scale off the frame horn bolts. Soon I will start designing the Front bumper off this model.

 

Awesome

 

Sub’d for updates. Nice ride!

 

Thank you!

 

Bad ass!!! Sub for uodates

 

I want to reclaim my wife’s LX and deck it out in sleeoffroad parts

 

That’s would be awesome!

 

What scanner do you use? There is a GX470 scan online without the front bumper for pretty short money.

 

Polycam on my phone. When I rescan I’ll max out the photos to get the best resolution

 

I am contemplating getting a better phone mostly so I can 3d scan with it. Cool build so far BTW, I'll be building some GX bumpers this spring for a friend.

 

Thank you. Yeah actually that last scan I did was with my old iPhone 11. I’ve got the newest iPhone Pro now, so I can’t wait to see how the new scan comes out. I really don’t like any of the bumpers currently on the market. So that’s why I’m gonna design my own.

 

Love the look of the GX. Can't wait to see more!

 

You gonna give it back to your wife when you’re done?

 

thank you.

nah, Im have to much fun hoping curbs at the grocery store.
Having her drive my F150 will keep the miles down on it. So win win both ways.

 

My wifes DDing my truck too and Im driving her matrix for the same reason. Works out well
