🛠️ Member Build Diablo Dropoff and Fish Creek

[Guest127]

After King suspension setup and Toyo 285/75R17 with Method MR305 +25 Offset, took it for an outing going through Canyon Sin Nombre, Arroyo Secco Del Diablo, Diablo Dropoff, and exiting via Fish Creek.

Rutted, deep sand, rocks, and narrow canyons, the GX made it. Lost the bolt for the sway link so have to check it out tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing some adventure photos. How is it riding with the extra weight of the RTT and gear? Are you on the stock OT springs with spacers or new aftermarket versions?

I adjusted the King to the softest setting knowing how washboarded the trails will be. I have found that the ride is best when loaded down.

OEM shocks and springs were removed in favor of King coilovers in the front and ICON springs in the rear.

The overall ride is very much like OEM even with larger C load tires. I had to go slow when encountering deep rutted portions. I did not go up Diablo Dropoff as I did not want to chance it with my load.

I'm looking forward to putting a few hundred pounds in the GX and seeing how it feels. Thanks for sharing on your build. I am think that was not an OT model with the adaptive shocks.
