Project TraiLex
This website link was burried elsewhere on T4R.ORG, but I thought this was a more appropriate spot to highlight it:

I guess it is only part 1 of this project vehicle, so hopefully they'll do something about that. I think they were concerned with performance first. Pretty fugly now, but cool to see a modded GX.

Hello,
New to the group.
It might be crazy, but I am planning on doing a few things similar to my GX. I have got to get rid of those running boards and add sliders. I also am planning on a custom bumber with a front reciever hitch to improve clearence and to mount a winch. I must have a snorkel. Now if I can get my wife to agree.

Well the 4R sliders should work just fine on the GX. I will hopefully get my set beginning January and will post pics.
I also see no reason why a spacer lift should not work on the GX. You might want to contact ARB for a front bumper as the GX and Prado body styling is very similar so you can get the bumper. See pic below. Just check with them.
Start with the smal stuff first. i.e. spacer lift, then sliders, then got for the bigger items.

I have contacted ARB. They could not tell me if the Prado bumper would work. They also carry snorkel for the Prado, but again could not tell me if it would work on the GX. I am afraid I will have to pay for custom stuff. We'll see.

The new issue of four wheeler has the completed version. Gotta say it looks sweet, especially the bumper. Kinda reminds me of Lances, bumper.

Is it online yet?
Tex I'll be fiting my sliders tomorrow at Hanna's and will go test then out close to SLO with James. Will post pics. Have they come back to you yet? I dropped my running baords to night and must say the 4R look compltetly different. My runningboards was pretty beat up, especially after taking themoff I could see the damage, but my 4R doesn't even have a nick on the side

bulldog-yota,
I have not pulled the running board off to take pic yet. They need me to send pic so they can tell if it will bolt right on. I was thinking of pulling them today. I can't wait to see your pic.
