GX of the Month
Did a little flexing in the 550 Overtrail outside Estes Park, CO. Stock suspension with a little wider and more offset wheel and wider tires. Kept the stock height on the tire also. Wifes daily driver so did not push as hard as I could but the 550 took on the Undulation, Rocky Terrain and Vertical Rock Climbs like a champ. Approach angle is a little low but that just makes you look for better climbing lines.
Would you mind sharing the updated wheel and the options? Any scrubbing that you could feel or hear when off roading?

20x9 +20 offset. 275/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Zero Rub. Full Flex. Stock Suspension. Bottomed out the muffler on descent once but not the bumper.

Love the way you moved your spare to the back, does it compromise your towing functionality and would you be looking at a full rear bumper with built in rear wheel carrier swing away like they do for the LC 300:

It’s a removable hitch tire/gear carrier and has a hitch extension so you can still tow with it. I won’t be doing a permanent bumper, it sets off the parking sensors and I don’t like that I have to swing out to open the tail gate. Plus I can’t open it with the garage door closed. I remove it when not in use and have a full set of stock tires and wheels as well.

Sounds like you have it sorted! 😀👍
