Welcome to the Club woody. You've got a nice looking GX. I am not one that cares for heavily modded GX's, but I like what you've done so far. It's subtle and still looks like a GX, but it has a ruggedness to it. That rooftop luggage rack is cool as are the side rails in lieu of the step.

How do the 886 coils handle the added weight from the bumper?

Your truck looks awesome! I love the addition of the ARB bumper to the truck. I like the way the rock sliders look on the GX. Did you buy them from All Pro? I just purchased a set from Downey off road that look very similar. I have an ARB bumper on my 4Runner and I love it. I am in the process of installing my WARN winch. Happy trailing!

The bumper is for the Prado 120 series. Item # ARB-3421410

I couldn't pick a prefect coil for the front. I'm going to later, upgrade to the N201S struts for the front and N202 Shocks for the rear. N201S & N202 are specifically engineered to improve the ride and handling of
customer vehicles that are heavily loaded with a high center of gravity caused by heavily loaded roof racks.

Thanks. The sliders are from Trailgear.com and they are 67" long. Cost me $139 but, they do have to be welded to legs and welded to frame rails. The GX and 4Runner share chassis so they work for me and should work for you.

Lexwoody that mod which you have carried out for the under chassis covers, Toyota makes those parts and are available in USA order. It takes 45days for lead time delivery The Part number PZ4AL-01696 & PZ4AL-01698. The part is manufactured by EU. There is no welding or drilling required for GX chassis as they are already available on the frame. Check the attachement out. !
