What did you do in your GX today?

Mine is brushed gold

But in GX news, managed to get this on by myself because I wasn’t patient enough to wait for a friend

Picked ours up after the full front and side XPEL PPF clear. Had all trim stripped to allow for full panel rust protection otherwise they would cut film at fenders. Exciting seeing the lines without the plastic trim.

Pretty cool to see the radar antennas. Thanks for posting these!

You are a brave one to have allowed the installers to remove all the trim and lights etc and then hopefully put them back on properly. I think I am too OCD to do that!😅
 
Seems they put Humpty Dumpty back together pretty well. Hope my "risk taking" pays dividends in the 10-25 yr value. Wonder if these newer all gas model hot SUV's will be valued in the future like muscle cars are today?
 
I've seen this thread pinned on a lot of other forums I've been a part of in the past and it's a good way to share what you've done with your rig for the day. Could be a mod, an adventure, anything.

I'll start.

Today had 22" Vossen HF-7 on 285/45 Nitto Terra Grapplers mounted and installed.
Excuse the dirty car, lots of rain in the PNW

Thanks for posting that picture, I have HF-7 in silver on my Corvette C8 and love the design. I believe they copied the design from their more expensive all forged series, to make them more affordable for the hybrid forged series. It really pops in silver. I was never a big black rim fan, as I find the design fades away, however I am considering to purchase the GX in Caviar and would definitely do black. I am just soaking in the look of your truck with that picture and it looks awesome !!!

Since the tires still seem low profile, assuming you did not raise the suspension, as that would only be required if you wanted to go with a higher profile to have more rubber.

Thanks! I'm loving it. I did not initially raise it but have since leveled it out with a spacer up front. There is another picture in this thread of mine leveled out.

Frankly, I wish I had gone bigger from the start. I believe I could have without any issues; I just played it too safe.
 
Nothing substantial but these:

Mounted my front plate via toggle bolts yesterday. Debated how I wanted to mount it. The plate was already kinda bent up after removing from the Sequoia (no semi-permanent tape this time!). I fashioned the bottom 3/4 of plate concave to be flush with the bottom piece below the grill. Anyhows…from more than a few feet away it looks fine.

Also tested out running YouTubeTV on my iPad mini in the GX. Wi-Fi only Mini linked to iPhone 15 Pro hotspot. Added the Mini as a Bluetooth Device to GX. The TV station audio then plays through the GX stereo system. The Mini is mounted in a Zugu adjustable case..which when folded a certain way fits perfectly and snuggly inside that passenger tray. Haven’t tested it yet driving around. 🤞😊

Great!
The view out the windshield in the GX is excellent. It is much easier to place the SUV than the new 4Runner where the hood is just too high and obstructs the view very greatly.
Agreed - the view made it easy to place the GX and the camera screen was also very helpful in knowing exactly where the wheel were in respect to any rocks or holes.

Wow, I don't think I'd be brave enough for all the trim to come off. Dumb question, how does the full panel panel allow for better rust protection?
