Default Fun times in the GX

Thought you guys would enjoy seeing photos of my adventures in the GX. I've done a few somewhat unconventional things (towing, snow, BFG all terrain tires, removing running boards) and I have appreciated all of your input as I've experimented with various configurations.

I love the running boards and larger tires. Hook up the boat to that b**ch and you got the perfect combo!

Right now I have pimptastic rims on my GX but as time goes by, I'm going to remove my running boards and try out lifting and larger tires. (right now, the wifey would kill me!)

Winter is the best time of the year!!!



Below is a link to a short video of my 4Runner at the snowed-in airport.

Its the most fun I could have with my pants on.

here are a few clips of mine from before:

This one is a bit better quality, but somewhat more boring compared to the YouTube one after:

The quality is kind of crappy, but hey.
