Yea, 3000-3500lbs is my max with the GX, I don't think they do all that well north of that weight. We will be picking up the new GX550 Overtrail in the next 12-18 months, but likely keeping our current GX460 as well. I plan to make the 460 my mileage mule for local daily travel needs.
Yea, not a big fan of those bags. They are great vehicles, we are on our third GX. I don't do much in the way of towing with ours anymore since it's a joke in comparison to the truck but it's nice to know that it's decently capable with a 4K load should I ever need it.
I finally got around to relocating the plate and plate light on the trailer to the removable fender with a QD connection. It always feels good to be able to ditch the awful low hanging mount they come with.
I installed the MarqCAD CanAm AC line guards as well. It's beyond me why they don't...
I did but I also have owned many GX's (still have one) and I know they are super soft out back and don't really tow at their max tow rating all that well so I wasn't surprised by the squat.
I bought one at a government surplus auction once, I had similar plans but I sold it off before the project ever took flight. Looking forward to the build.
Congrats on the rare find, it should make an excellent starting point for your build. You picked the one and only jack/caster wheel setup I'd consider for such a build so good on you there. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with and how it turns out.
No recent updates to the Casita unfortunately. We have been trying to find an available weekend with a cooperative weather window to get out and do some camping. Hopefully we can get a winter beach trip together in the coming weeks.
Congrats on getting one of the best available HD truck options currently on the market. I wish they still had a column shift, that's my only complaint, well that and they need 37's haha. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Nice, I support a build like this for a very specific role. I too dream about having my truck setup for the sole purpose of towing a SxS for hunting travel, my problem is I never keep them long enough to realize that role lol.
