Damn you for showing a nori green GX! We love that color... next vehicle will be dark green.
rad rubber makes one of those too, https://radrubberdesign.com/product/...ss-stabilizer/
(be careful driving around with the rear glass open unless the exhaust is re-routed out the right side... the gases will get sucked in the cabin with OEM configuration (straight out the back) so if this is installed while driving around make sure you have some other window or sunroof open to ventilate the cabin from the exhaust fumes to avoid the cabin being the low pressure area)

Put some proper tires on the truck

FN Pro Wheels 17x8 +0. 24.8lbs
Cooper AT34S 265/70/17

Had to remove the obligatory inside screw head and replace that with a more flush plastic push pin for the running board/inside fender plastic. Spare tire fits fine (I do not have the factory hitch...but from my research it should still fit).

I've had these tires on multiple vehicles and I really like them. Great traction in rain/snow and road noise is minimal.





new wheels push the tires out and now flush with the fender.

Spare fits. Tight... but fits.

Inside screw on both sides replaced with plastic push pin. Fixed the reverse at full lock tire rubbing.

Now that is bad ***! Pics came through.

If you have any other pics showing how you made your cuts and the process for install that would be extremely beneficial.

This is on my list and your pic basically cemented the mod.


And just checked out your link in your sig... Nice. No reason to double post.


And an ND owner .

Default SAIS Mod

I have a 2014 460 and recently saw a post on a modification for the secondary air injection system. I had mine go out in my '08 Sequoia and that repair was north of $3K so did this one right away. Bought the filter that was recommended and was an easy mod and should save some money and headaches in the future.

Subtle, but I think it looks ok.

Finishing up the Blitz install tomorrow.The red shackles are a bit much and some low-profile rollers would be better.

As far as the process, I just followed the cutting methods from the CBI slider install. I used a 90* cut off wheel and a pneumatic belt sander, which are awesome tools for this stuff. After the sliders were on I just pulled the panels back and sanded down the spots that rubbed.

I love my Miata, but we're taking a break right now. She's a pain in the ***, but she's my pain in the ***. I've been thoroughly enjoying comfort and quietness since I picked up the GX. It isn't stock, either. I can't stand stock vehicles. There's always something I want to change.

Trim piece came loose on the highway a few weeks ago. Pulled over and pulled it off and a few tabs are broken. I assume this was from when it was replaced before my ownership. Waiting for Bell Lexus to give me the part numbers and a price quote for a new trim piece and the five clips that hold it in place.
