  1. Ok was hoping to get the Strike rear bumper on today with the tire swing...not even close! The bumper is a solid bumper, but fitment was a pain! The bolt patterns did not line up with the holes and we had to think outside the box just to get the dam thing on. On top of that, the mount for the tire does not come with the tire swing! I went online and bought it, but who sells a tire swing with no mount?! Installed the ARB control arm armor shields that came with the front bumper. Pictures of the Rough Country winch that I previously mounted. Pics of the swapped out Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT's. Ordered Moose Knuckle recovery shackles for the rear bumper. Can't get this darn buggy finished!
  2. Finally after 14 months my rear Strike bumper came in! Will install this weekend and finally ship my buggy to my deer lease!
  3. Not sure what a fair price would be as these are hard to come by. I see the 6500 CTs are about $100. I would do $75 shipped
  4. I should have some flat bar frames. Let me take a look tonite and get back to you.
  5. You are as bad as me. I did test drive an LX470 that I really wanted to buy, but it seemed sluggish to me. Will stick with the GX for now.
  6. Now you are a GX collector like me!
  7. The lease that I have doesn't have a huge amount of big rocks exposed. A lot of smallish rocks and brush. GX470s are pretty easy to find for a reasonable price now and the V8s give you a little more torque than the Tacos and 4Runners. Land Cruisers, Tundras, GX470, LX470 and Sequoias all share the same V8 engine.
  8. Ok since I'm still waiting for my rear Strike bumper with tire swing I went ahead and upgraded to the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/Ts. Same size as the A/Ts 285 70R 17 those will go on my next project. Added the RCI 1/4" aluminum skid plates.
  9. Ok my ARB front bumper finally came in 6 months later! Still waiting on the Strike rear bumper with spare tire swing and then I can finally ship it to my hunting lease. For now I get to go shopping for a winch and fog lights.
  10. When I’m driving the GX around town, I always have the windows down and enjoying the views and new speakers. Not a lot of custom GXs in Hawaii so people are taking a double take when I drive by. A lot of the Taco and 4-runner guys are asking me what kind of car is it when I fill up gas. They are surprised to see a Lexus lifted as high as their trucks.
  11. Looks good, but I kinda like the faux wood trim for now. Stop trying to make me spend more money lol
  12. Here are the pics. The holes are about the size of a quarter, but if are worried you can put a fine mesh wire over the slider. Front half of the slider is not as wide, but you can step up on it for sure. I also included pics of the side skirt that I cut with a grinder and then sanded to try to match up with the rock slider and not leave it look unfinished.
  13. Really having fun with these 2 builds. I have a 2021 F150 that is now 3rd in rotation. Once I ship off the hunting buggy I will be looking for an LX470 as the next project. I really like the Landcruiser type look on those models.
  14. I will take some pics for you. Holes on the RCI are really small, even my terrier would not be able to put a paw through. It is pretty much full length so should be able to access roof rails, but again I will take close up pics.
  15. All good lol, I just put on a ceramic coat the previous week. Been raining for 3 weeks here in paradise.
