That's why I said EVIL twin brother!!! All the Prado 150 guys in Australia are jealous that the GX460 has a V8 too

It also appears you have KDSS, as the sway bar looks the same as mine, is that true? do they all come with it or is it an option for a certain trim level like our T4Rs?

You would be correct, that giant sway bar is the KDSS, which is standard on all GX460s.

Nice. How do you like the ride with the Ironman FCPs? They seem pretty popular with LC and FJ guys but haven't seen too many 4Runners with them.

So far I really like the FCPs. I went with the FCPs because of the price and that they are a 2.5" strut, which works better due to the weight of the GX460. It also doesn't help that I was able to get FCPs and TC UCAs for basically the same price as a 2.5" Icon suspension without UCAs.
I went with the B series springs which is their medium duty spring and the ride is only slightly firmer than stock. I've always been used to gas shocks and was a little skeptical of the foam ones, but they are pretty freaking awesome in terms of ride quality. Now that I got them installed, I just gotta find a weekend to do some wheeling to really test them out!

That is a badass GX! I saw dozens of the LC Prado with diesels when I was in Australia and Costa Rica. Bummer we can't buy those here. Only thing I don't like is the rear barn door style vs it being a hatch like the 4R. The hatch with roll down rear window is way more functional, especially protection from the midday sun or rain. That was the deal breaker for me when I looked at the Lexus GX.

2010-13' Trail had such better accents, especially the black flares and roof rack

Did you get them from Metaltech or from Ironman directly? Definitely looking into these now.

That's how a 4Runner should come from the factory.

I got them from Metaltech, which is also Ironman's only authorized seller in the states.

Boss kit and total chaos uca. 285/70/17 ko2. 1.25" wheel spacer.

Why are you running the spacers? Did you need to in order to prevent rubbing? This is the exact set-up I'm going for

Its not my rig but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he didn't add wheel spacers to prevent rubbing... especially with stock rims. The only reason you would add wheel spacers to prevent rubbing is if your rims had a high back spacing causing the rim or tire to rub on the UCA. I can almost guarantee he has spacers for looks which BTW is looks great :thumb:
Spacers will almost always WORSEN the rubbing on things like the bumper or body mount because of the increased offset which means an increased scrub radius. if you don't know what any of the above terms mean or how they affect things, you should put in a few hours of research before buying.

People run spacers so it gives the tires/wheels a wider stance. There is no performance advantage and as mentioned above they worsen tire rub. Don't get spacers unless you want to start cutting or trimming.
