THey are trailgear 67" welded to the frame. THey arent a perfect fit and I think I'm going to design my own sometime soon.

06isDriver - be sure to post on here if you design your own. Maybe I can help you draw it up if you need. If you could post the ideal changes to the trailgear that would be helpful too - even if it has to be redone from scratch at least a measurable endpoint would be awesome.

glad to see someone else putting the GX in it's natural environment! =P
Here is an album of an offroading trip I had a couple years back with mine (been on more but forgot to take pics and my GX also looks totally different now, haha):

Just finished a wheeling trip at Hawks Pride ORV park in Northwest Alabama. I'll post up some more pics when the rest of them get uploaded. Heres some from my camera phone until then:

Here are some pics of the most difficult trail we went through. The are in chronological order:


Contemplation on whether or not I was about to destroy out beautiful Lexus....



about a 2.5-3ft ledge to get over first


giving it the skinny peddle



really close to seeing how well the armor held up



Excellent spotting and a push off from Jacque from TRDParts4u.com





maneuvering the rest of the trail



Jacque running away as I barrel up the creek bed



easy jaunt to the end of the trail

Do you think there is a clean way to mount a wench on the rear bumper? For example for pulling a car on to a trailer? This would be such a sweet track car hauler!


Any pics in the snow?

Probably the easiest way would be to get a universal hitch receiver winch mount like this one:

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) Louisiana doesnt get much snow....EVER! The last time it snowed here was 4-5 years ago? I didnt even own the truck then.
