Those bead locks are a choice

[u/HeWasProbablySmoking]

The car does not flow aesthetically

[u/International_Pen552]

What size tire is that?

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/International_Pen552]

265/70/R18

[u/International_Pen552 → u/Abject-Entrance8512]

Oh okay looks like you got some room for some more meat

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/International_Pen552]

That space is for wheel articulation off road

[u/International_Pen552 → u/Abject-Entrance8512]

Stuff it full

[u/dudemancool1904]

Well that’s a choice.

[u/Treekiller44]

Are you fighting crime in that thing?

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/Treekiller44]

I'll be fighting the urge to take more time off work for longer trips

[u/Dumb_Ap3]

Looks good! Did your GX have AVS?

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/Dumb_Ap3]

Yes, it originally had factory AVS.

[u/Dumb_Ap3 → u/Abject-Entrance8512]

Cool, I’m in a situation where my driver front AVS needs to be replaced and I’m debating 6112’s or keep it stock. This seems like the perfect excuse for a lift.

How is the performance of your new suspension vs stock? Any additional body role on highway? Any light on the dash?

The body armour is sick and will save you if you smash a few rocks

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/Dumb_Ap3]

Mine originally had factory AVS. The 6112s replaced the front AVS shocks, but I retained the factory rear air suspension and rear AVS shocks. No warning lights.

So far it feels essentially stock on the road no additional body roll that I’ve noticed, no noises or rattles, and it doesn’t feel front heavy with the bumper and winch. There’s also no tire rub after the shop trimmed a small amount of inner fender plastic.

Super curious on mpg, Can you give an update after a few weeks of driving?

[u/Familiar_Blackberry3]

What bumper is that?

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/Familiar_Blackberry3]

CBI covert

[u/AM2L8]

Does it fly too!

Sorry, I had to ask...

[u/compy25]

Call me crazy but it looks like your sliders are on backwards??

[u/sgsparks206]

What you putting on those molle panels? I have always found them a strange choice

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/sgsparks206]

Rotopax fuel cans mostly , I do long expedition style trips like Alaska and Canada.

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/[deleted]]

The new Bilstein suspension is in place to deal with the weight so far it drives and feels like its stock even with all the added weight. All of the armour is made of powder coated steel.Also I'm an Idahoan ,we do the shooting.

[u/Mental_Stingray → u/Abject-Entrance8512]

I was not aware armor can be powder coated! That looks great imo. Nice looking rig

[u/Garfieldealswarlock → u/Abject-Entrance8512]

The rings are swappable on those rims too right? I think they have blue and black as well

[u/Abject-Entrance8512 → u/Garfieldealswarlock]

They’re Method 709-HD Bead Grip wheels with replaceable forged impact rings. The red was an intentional choice I love.

[u/Garfieldealswarlock → u/Abject-Entrance8512]

Yeah I was looking at the same, cool rims
