    Hammered down the pinch seams. Need to work on my heat gun skills.

    I put a 6mm rivnut in that square hole and used a bolt with large washer to help hold the liner back. Worked on GX and 5th Gen.

    Took the GX on Emigrant Gulch trail over the weekend. Great to get out and explore with the family. Added some character to the Lexus.

    Jerry rigged a spare tire tie down system. Wife said there is no reason why the spare should be inside the cab. Guess I am getting a rear bumper come tax return time!

    Installed a CB radio in the coin tray spot. Had to cut a little bit of plastic for it to fit but you can still install the coin tray back if needed. Radio sticks out farther than I would like but it isn’t in the way of anything.

    Put a coat of wax on the GX. Made a huge difference after all the pin stripes I got last week. Also started packing for our camping trip on Monday.

    I did what I could in the edit. If only the person behind the camera knew what they were doing. :p

    Too big to fit under the rear I take it? I’m running 285/75’s on my GX as well and am about to get the spare this weekend. I’ll have to do something like this too if it doesn’t fit underneath.

    Installed a Baja designs Onx6+ 30” light bar from @state48overland . Looks great on the bumper. This light bar is BRIGHT! If anybody is interested in a bumper for their GX I highly recommend @demello bumpers. They even have a new bumper out now with a cutout for a 30” light bar.
