Nice Mods!!
Where and how much did you pay for the westin safari bar ??(autoanything.com)
I went for T&H Euro Grill Guard, still waiting my shipment.

Awesome. Much prefer these functional mods over the normal GX 22" chrome spinner-type.

Any rubbing with the MTRs? How do they drive? Extra weight effect performance?

thanks guys

david- i was lucky enough to find the bar used for $70 from a member at 4runner.org
don't think i've seen the T&H on a GX (post pics after you install it, i'd love to see it)

bgsntth- no rubbing at all with the taller tire. as far as performance, they don't grip as well as the michelin cross terrains on road, but the performance is awesome for a MT/R on and off road and the weight of the tire didn't effect the GX at all.

purplehazek4,
where did you get buy those tail light?

SilverLady

That looks really nice, but there seems to be a crossbar over the license plate. The State of NJ gets kind of unfriendly about that.

Do you mount the license plate in front, or is there a way to lower the crossbar?

Looks great Purplehazek4! That GX is looking like it's starting to get some serious cred

Not a fan of the add-on hoops but I like that black hoop alot better than the chrome one- looks more integrated and sporty.
I like how the black one is shaped like a mirror reflection of the grille/hood shape and it does look good and functional w/ those nice accessory lights

David- that's a nice bar! is that middle bar there for mounting lights?

Peter- i bought the taillights from japanparts.com, good service and speedy shipping.

James- that's cool how you noticed the "mirror effect" that's the same reason i why bought it.
i wasn't too fond of the add on hoops either, especially with the extra loss of approach angle clearence. i still would love to go with ARB, but they can't seem to help me very much. oh well, guess i'll just remove the safari bar everytime i go wheeling. still have the sliders? how's the LC?

Hey purple, can you repost the image with westin safari bar. Thanks

It looks nice. The simple and stainless steel look is okay with the L. Most everything else looks out of place.

I saw a California GX470 parked outside a restaurant I went to down here that had that bar and the license plate was not obstructed. The second bar shown in the picture that obstructs was lower. I was wondering if it might have been a custom job down here in Mexico, where we have Toyota but no Lexus. If I happen to see it again, will take a photo. We have some similar bars for our RX300s, but nothing as beautiful as the one for the GX470.
