I hear ya :-) :-)

As much as I want to...I think it will be a few more years before I push into this realm.

I thought they built this for the 470 only? Do you know what years of the gx they are building for?

Defiantly l like this for the ability to carry a full size spare after upgrading the tire size. Not many other options...

Curious to see who will be the first to take a crack at the 14+ front bumpers... and to see how they look due to the spindle grille.

As much as I want to upgrade the GX (lift, sliders, front and rear bumpers, wheels/tires, roof rack and snorkel)... it'll only be all for show.

Someone already put an ARB on a silver 2016. I'm not a fan of the ARB, but it looks pretty good. I think @overland_oc on Instagram has some pics IIRC.

I like the MT front bumper, but that rear is way too bulky for my tastes. I can't imagine what it weighs in at. Plus it makes the GX look like an Xterra.

I might be game for it someday. Not right now though.

EDIT: Another example

Really curious to see that as I have yet to see any newer model gx with a front bumper for offloading

That's the one I was talking about. Its definitely got some weight from the bumpers. I tried asking the guy to share his rig here since its probably the most modded out GX460. Also asked for up close pics of the bumper to see the cut area around the grill....never responded. At least he shares a ton of pics on his Instagram account @sutnaipics https://www.instagram.com/sutnaipics/

Looks like some pics when he was doing the conversion here.
