Very impressive, the way the GX should be used. I have been taken mine off road more than these days-just got in from a run. I like how the larger tires fit.

If you are interested in seeing other GX builds, I have compiled a list of all the GX470 's that are being built (that I know of) on the very first post of my build thread...

Let me know if I missed any!

You are everywhere BonnerBB...... I did some research on the GX470 and what folks had done to them before I bought one. I appreciate all the help from everyone, while I'm working on my GX.... They wouldn't let me do LTD FJ or LTD GX as an id, so went with MooreGX470 on here.

Default Front Class III for 3rd Gen T4R

Where did you get that class three hitch for the front of your black third gen 4runner?
I have a third gen and have been looking for one quite a while with no luck.

I don't have any rubbing either....and I mean ZERO. I tried a 1.5" spacer once and that caused horrible rubbing all the way around and would have required a body mount chop which is very common among the FJ croud. The body mount I speak of is the one between the front tire and the front door. Right below the door hinges.

What are the specs on your wheels? Offset and width?

I had bad rubbing with a 1.5" spacer too. I went with a 1.25" and that cleared it all up

Hm i know they are 18x9 but I dont remember the offset. Originally it was -19 but the shop messed up the wheels and had to switch me from procomps to xds. They told me 305s wouldn't fit too but I told em lets just try and see. No rubbing at the frame whatsoever.
