Are you planning to put towing hitch? Instead of running boards you can put side steps so it will be easy to get in

Like the direction you are heading with this. What is your ultimate goal with mods? what type of "off-road" are you planning with this?
These gx's look and perform great out on the trail. A set of real sliders and some fr./rear bumpers that actually protect your rig and your in business.

I will put a tow hitch on it to haul bikes.

I do not need anything to get in this rig. It is not that high. Side steps just get in my way and look like poo, will trash them on a trail run. I am not tall just 6.0 and the GX is easy to just side in the seat.

Now I do not want to get to carried away like I did on my landcruiser. The LC can handle all the real tough stuff.

Good looking Land Cruiser. And that's a great color, IMO.

Very good looking Land Cruiser. Very tastefully modified. Trailex is little bit extreme they welded shocks to do the lift.

Really nice job on the LC, looks off-road ready with out going too far.. I thought about changing to Revos, had 2 sets on my last truck, first set were noisy toward the end and 2nd set were better, but I loved the handling and traction ability, but concerned they would too noisy for the GX. Now are you selling those chrome rims?????

I think the main problem is the lack of mods for the GX so they had to fabricate there own. Now my Landcruiser is another story, I probably have 5-10 choice of every component ie bumpers, sliders, aux fuel tanks etc etc
