Took the front license plate holder off from the previous owner and got rid of most of the marks with a clay bar and light polish. Now I need to fill those holes in the bumper with something. I also added another 5hp. I think the pearl white looks real nice with the blue.

Got my Canvasback liner and Raingler Barrier installed so the yellow labs don't make a mess of the whole interior!

Camped at Indian valley reservoir (BLM land) and camped right on the water

was super nice highly recommended. In the summer the trail in is really easy but I did get my first high transmission temperature warning. Was able to stop for 15 minutes and the warning went away

time to add the aux transmission cooler 🤩💕




Had the place to ourselves

Default Lift/wheels/tires

I dropped the GX off at Wescott Designs in Phoenix the other day…

I had the Bilstein 6112/5160 lift installed.
SCS Ray 10s, wrapped in Toyo Open Country AT3 in 255/80-17s (33.1in).

Interestingly, the 33s only weigh 5 more pounds than the stock 30.5s (19in wheels).

Went on a roadtrip from Louisiana to Michigan’s UP, put on about 3000 miles over two weeks.

Installed a BeatSonic ShiftPower. I have it set to 20%, exponential mode. It really livens up the throttle without making it too sensitive when accelerating off-idle or in reverse. It's been in the car for a couple of weeks. Zero issues, no check engine or any other wonky behavior.

I averaged right at 21 MPG over a mix of 75 MPH interstate and 55-65 MPH state highway. Pretty pleased overall, especially with the Skybox installed.

Default Finally installed my OE Class IV Tow Hitch

Purchased my ‘23 last November, worked a deal with the dealer to get the hitch included once available. After months of her sitting in the box, finally got it one. Wasn’t the easiest alone, but doable! Gives the *** a nice touch.

I also attached the PDF for the post-recall tow hitch instructions. Very similar, bolts a tad different.

My neoprene washers holding the license plate off the tailgate had deteriorated so picked up one of these and installed it: worth every penny if worried about rattling and paint to license plate contact, no possibility of that now.

How do you like the Yakima? And is that the OEM roof rack? No issues with fitting the Yakima?

Been very happy with the Yakima. It is a Skybox 12 Carbonite and mates perfectly with the OEM Blackline cross bars. It attached very securely and wind noise wasn’t that much more than with the cross bars alone. Impact on fuel mileage wasn’t that bad either, maybe 1 MPG.

Had my indy install the OEM transmission cooler, plus service the front diff and transfer case while he was at it. I had him replace the front diff drain and fill plugs with the hex head versions from KAON. He was happy I did as he had a bear of a time getting the original allen head drain plug off! Glad it was him and not me
