Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

How do you like the General Grabber X3's? I know you dont daily it, but curious to see what you think of them

 

He doesn’t even drive it probably has like 5 miles on those tires.

 

I'm sure. I've had them on my F-150 almost 7 years. They're loud, they're obnoxious, and I love it lol. I had a set of 285/70/17 X3's for the future GX, but sold them last year since I didn't want them sitting in storage too long before mounting.

 

Yeah… I should have bought them from you.

 

so far so good. will be going to hurricane creek in a few weeks so i'll see how they do there.

 

i have 1600mi (mostly highway) on it so far, boitch.

 

Dang! That’s like 1500 more miles than I put on mine in the last couple of months

 

It's a thirsty bitch too. Best I've gotten is 14mpg

 

let's go run 105 next weekend

 

Can’t next weekend. We should camp up there weekend of the 8th maybe

 

Last weekend I got my LCA bushings replaced with Whiteline poly. One of the stock bushings came out without the steel sleeve and it gave me hell for a few hours until as a last resort I took a sawzall to it with a fresh diamond tooth blade. After just a few swipes it was through. Then I was able to drive a small chisel under the new lip and begin breaking the rust weld. Got it done without marring the LCA surface. Picture of me trying to force the bushing in before I realized the sleeve was still in there.



The KP Off-road octagons were straight forward, until I discovered they sent the wrong size for the rear. I put the OEM bolt & cam back in to get me home. KP Off-road answered my Sunday morning email within minutes and I had a tracking # Monday morning. An honest mistake made right, I respect that. Wednesday I had the correct octagons and a fancy magnetic coozie for the inconvenience.

 

@SearArtist when do you start modding the GX460?

Just got the VIN for the MYP, so ~3 weeks or so

 

How much are those battery powered cars going for now days?

 

mid-40’s for the model Y performance.
instead of taking the $7500 tax credit you can transfer it to Tesla and they discount the price of the car that much.

 

Alignment shop confirmed the spindle is bent Ordered a new driver side one today and took off the passenger side after work. A local fab shop makes spindle gussets & will zap them on as well. So that’s gettin done next week



Out camping at Superstition OHV (the CA one, not AZ) last weekend and my buddy got a pretty nice night shot of the PAWGX.

 

Anyone get an allocation for the GX550 yet?

 

Patiently waiting for the call

 

The last 2 oil changes I had the car on the ground. Finally did an oil change at work tonight, put it on the lift and saw a leaking PS line (easy fix), leaking rear main seal, maybe a leaking crank seal (need to investigate this more) and a leaking rear axle seal. Ugh. The engine oil leaks aren't urgent. It's not really dripping and the oil on the dipstick isn't dropping between oil changes. Those leaks will be the most gnarly to fix. The axle seal isn't too bad yet but that will get fixed sooner than later. The OEM PS line isn't sold by just the rubber line I don't think. You have to buy the whole deal. So I'll see if I can find an applicable rubber hose that will work in that application.

 

I know that you guys covered this a bit back, but what CV's did everyone agree on? Does the 5th gen T4R/GX460 CV fit a 470? I remember @klavender1 had a huge wait for reman axles, so I'm fine with new. Was just struggling between OEM 470 axles, OEM 460 axles and CVJ axles. Would rather go OEM, but was curious what the mind trust here thinks.
