Default 2018 GX460 Offroad project





Picked up this GX460 new In June and finally got a few of my planned upgrades installed. Still a work in progress of course but I'm really impressed with offroad capability so far! Let me know what you think

Looks great! Do you have any rubbing with that set-up? I'm planning on doing the RadFlo lift with Total Chaos UCAs on my 2016, but was thinking of going 275/70-17 (on FN FxPro wheels) because I don't want do to a BMC or excessive heat gun work on the liners. Any thoughts?

Default 2016 GX 460 lift

Hello,
This GX 460 looks great. I am researching doing a lift, tires, removal of side rails, etc. on my 2016 GX 460. I do have a couple of questions:
1) Besides being a weekend warrior offroad, I also put about 5k highway miles with work. Do you find that the GX handles well with the lift at high speeds <75mph?
2) The custom shop here is quoting me north of 6k to install the lift. Is this the standard price?
Thanks, JB

Here is mine. Also lifted with Radflo's and Total Chaos UCA. I had to do minor body mount chop and a little heat gun to the wheel liners. They are great so far. I drive this car any and everywhere. We took it on a 10 hr trip with the family and it was just and if not more comfortable as before the mods. You will not regret the suspension upgrades. The car will drive much better with better corner ability. Gas mileage does suck though.

BTW, you can do the suspension install yourself. Research up on the 4runners with KDSS install and that will give you some ideas on the install. It was easier than expected.
