I forgot the Wescott sliders. They are next on the list. I have their roof rack and had their sliders on the 4runner. Which setup did you get from them?

How are you liking the Dissent products? The rear bumper was a pain to install but looks great. I'm just waiting for the swing outs now. The portals are an expense upgrade which I'm not sure is worth it. I had added a King 3" lift on my 4runner which more than I needed. I added Dobinson heavy duty springs in the rear of the GX for towing the camper and left the Ready Lift kit on the front for now. I'm on the fence as far as the front bumper goes. The dissent bumper looks awesome but its about $6,500 with the winch and lighting its a little pricy.

We'll have to get an Arizona trip setup with the rest of the group in AZ.

I’m down for a trip!

Just got back from Moab. What an amazing place! The rock formations, arches, bridges, and spires are incredible. I kept thinking that I would run into Wile E. Coyote around the corner, setting a booby trap. We did Long Canyon, Shafer Trail, Fins & Things, and Hell's Revenge. It was an epic adventure.

Special thanks to Todd at Doetsch Off-Road in Chandler, AZ for doing the build and helping my vision come to life. Props also to Frank Burch. Obviously, I have used many of his ideas and am thankful for him sharing his ride with the community through its various iterations. And finally, thanks to Dylan and Albert at Rigid for their support and for featuring my rig in their booth at Overland Expo this weekend. If you’ll be in Flagstaff for the show this weekend, stop the Rigid booth and say hi! I’ll be wearing a black Rigid hat and Rigid lanyard with my name on it. Would enjoy talking to anyone about their GX’s or wheeling in AZ and Utah!

Looks awesome man. Love reading about people's builds since im new to all of it. Question I've been askign, when you get these larger wheels are you recalibrating the speedometer/odo or just accepting that its going to be off by some % all of the time? What's the gameplan if you ever wanted to sell the car?

Whats your MPG lol

 

[Sonny]

Whats your MPG lol

Has to be around 10-12, max …

 

[BryanM68]

Whats your MPG lol

Kinda curious myself.

 

[Yeti]

Whats your MPG lol

Surprisingly, it is almost always 14 to 14.5 mpg. I check regularly and adjust the calculation for the 37 inch tires. Most of my driving is highway miles, as I live on the outskirts of the city. Very little stop and go traffic. I've gotten a little over 17 mpg on a road trip and had a little under 12 mpg once in town. The wheel and tire combo weighs over 100 lbs each, so I'm not complaining about 14ish.

That’s not too bad for how you have it configured.

Sounds like an awesome getaway!!

How many days do u recommend for a Moab excursion.

I’m still thinking fly and drive. But may get pushed out to another month when there’s some company to go explore.
