First look at the bumper:
Still have more to go but getting there (just rattle canned for now):
- Steel quarters, yes, that is all steel up to the white
- Hitch still needs to be added
- Tire carrier needs to be added
- Integrated LED backup lights need to be added
- Needs to go to powder

Looks great Dan. Very clean! It passes the "uninitiated test." Which is just what I call the test where the wife, girlfriend, parent or someone else not in the offroad world wouldn't even think that was aftermarket. It just looks like a black bumper. I dig it.
For years I've always said I'd wait until the 4runner died or needed some serious $ work before buying a GX, but you're really making it difficult to wait. :coffeedrink:

The liner even makes it look like it still has flares, which I like...the sides are now all "tucked in" so the front bumper, sliders, tires, and rear bumper are all the first points of impact.
Good stuff.
Glad I can tempt you into the GX world. I had a 100, 80s, 60, 55, and 40s and would never go back.

Yah, there is always room in ones life for a cantankerous old truck like a 40, 60 or whatever, but for a truck that is ready to go on a big trip or start on a cold morning with no hassle the GX is the best of all worlds.
A new Trail Edition 4runner comes close, but you can add a rear locker to a gx a lot easier than you can stretch the roof and add a V8 to a Trail Edition 4runner. Plus, it's different and I like that.
So will my neck and back when I can sit up in bed (sleeping platform) as opposed to the 4runner where you do all changing and moving around while inside horizontally or in painfully contorted positions!
Looking good and keep it coming. :sombrero:

I can't knock the trailer idea. Platform is good for fast moving, lazy camping. (I hate "setting up" camp), but I know there will be a point where a trailer base camp or a small offroad capable trailer to go exploring from will be nice!
Sorry for sidetracking your build thread! :victory:
