Hey there, ExPo

I've been active over on Mud for several months but thought I'd jump in over here too.

Vehicle: 06 Lexus GX470, 109k miles

I've done a few things to it so far.

First up was removing the running boards.

Next, I threw on some Cooper AT3s.

Some better organization was needed so I built a simple shelf allowing me to store my Plano boxes underneath and whatever else on top.

Last month I added the Front Runner Slimline II roof rack.

I also have the GEO Adventure Gear 8x8 awning mounted to the rack with FRs awning mounts, and a set of TREDs, which have gotten me out a few times.

A few weeks ago I went over to Baton Rouge to have a prototype hidden winch mount fitted up. Really happy with how it turned out. If you're interested in one, head over to the Mud 120 forum and find the Wood Grain Warrior thread. Possible group buy in the near future. Inside is a Superwinch Tiger Shark 9500. Ignore the shackle in the picture. It now has a Factor55 Flatlink.

This Saturday I'm heading back to Baton Rouge to have a Radlfo suspension system installed along with Total Chaos UCAs. New wheels and tires going on as well. Wheels are Stealth Custom Series F5s and tires are Cooper STT Pros.

I'm a partner with Overlanding USA, so if you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen my rig there (I'm @freddy_dt on IG). I have an ongoing project that is putting together a route around the state of Alabama primarily using back roads & dirt roads. It was inspired by the Trans-America Trail. We did one trip in October, which was very successful. May be a while before the next trip happens, unfortunately.

I'll post more pics after the lift and wheels/tires go on.

Been a while since I last posted and there's been some big changes to my rig. Suspension, new wheels, & tires went on in January. Sliders went on as well.

You'll see my spare tire in that second picture. I bought the CBI fold down tire carrier but it it did not fold down far enough to allow my door to swing open. I was pretty displeased with my experience dealing with them. Ended up sending it back.
