New here with a GX 460

Oh duh there is two! well im not far behind for that lol

 

Yup same almost bought a 2020 Tacoma but needed a more comfortable ride.

 

New addition. Thule cargo box I just picked up off tacomaworld.

 

Finally the weekend is here!

 

I was looking at you pics and missed this post.
That sure looks like a Prado alright.


I had a Hilux for a shared company car in Djibouti Africa. My Project Manager (#1 guy) had a Prado. Both were 4x4, diesel, with manual transmissions. Fun to drive. We were invited to a Business Fair down town and he had me drive him and #2 in his Prado. No pressure.

I found that you have to drive aggressively defensive - figure on applying all the corporate US safety standards to 3rd world Africa where most drivers aren't sure which side of the road to drive on.

 

By the way - you have to put this winch bumper on there:

Not sure if I’m ready to start cutting the factory bumper just yet haha. Maybe when I hit something first.

 

Man I wish mine was a manual. Would be so much fun to drive with the V8!

 

One of our spots this weekend.

 

Went out for a day trip to Lake Kachess.

 

Dig that V8!

 

Thanks! Definitely easier to drive up the mountain pass for sure.

 

I’m itching to go out again. Anyone local in the PNW know any good day trip spots with family?

 

Hay that is nice! May I see under the hood? I am really curious.

 

Do you have enough clearance to open the tailgate all the way with the trailer hooked up?

 

Almost enough room. Only open half way.

 

Gotta love a V8!

 

First off road test for the GX.

 

Just picked up the breather and the union to extend the rear axle breather.

 

Another weekend exploring. Found a sweet spot by a river.

 

Cool truck! It might be possible to mount your spare on the cargo door with that configuration. It would be nice to get the spare from underneath the vehicle. personally, I'd find a way to delete the running boards, but i know most people like them. That winch bumper DRobs posted looks really cool too. The winch on my 4 Runner gives me the extra confidence when I'm alone.

 

Definitely looking for a rear bumper with a swing out down the road. Front bumper and winch isn’t needed right now. I usually go out with wife and kids and keep it simple.

 

First kayak trip of the year.

 

Looks great!! I've been looking at the 460's, 470's, and 1st gen Sequoia's as a trail rig.

 

I installed Ironman stage 2 kits on my buddies Tacoma and GX460.

 

Hit up a new logging road and discovered a new lake we didn’t know was so close to the cabin. And of course the essentials you have to bring when traveling with kids.

 

My buddy put one of these on his GX, he really likes it.

 

Let me know how well it holds up on the trails.

 

Alright all you guys with KDSS system and have a lean on the passenger side. Mine is lower by 1/4” in the front passenger and 3/4” in the rear.

What is the best option to get rid of the lean?
-loosen the valve and drive up on a wood block
-KDSS spacers
-KDSS delete
-deal with the stupid lean

 

Just installed Ironman 20mm coil spacer in the right rear and all is leveled now. Definitely recommend going with a taller coil or spacer on the right side if you have KDSS.

last weekend took it out on a logging road outside packwood, wa for some firewood.
