Got the Garage Alpha TRD grill in and installed. Loving the upgrade. I still need to wire up the raptor lights.

Now I need to black out the headlights or get some sport headlights.

I got the Bison Gear Door Net Replacement installed. Everyone knows the GX470 rear door net sags on just about everyone’s and mine was no exception. I fully admit this was mostly for cosmetic purposes, but it does a great job of cleaning up that area and making it usable again. Obviously with the rigid molle panel you are limited on what you can put in the cubby behind it, and I have the Bison Gear fold down table on so that limits what I can put on the front side as well.

I got the Unique Style Racing Tail Lights for the GX470 installed. I think they turned out awesome and massively improved the look of the rig. They function great, but obviously this is primarily a cosmetic upgrade, but one that I think is definitely worth it if you want that blacked out look. Check out my video below.

A few weeks ago, I picked up the Malone Profile 18B Cargo Box for those times where we run out of cargo space in the GX or my wife’s Ford Explorer. Check out my video going over the features of this box and how to install. Overall, I am really happy with the functionality of this box and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to take on and off.

Got out in the snow for a little bit today. Happens about once a year here in OK so had to test out the rig in it.

I got the Auxbeam Switch Panel installed in the GX and wanted to show you guys the high-level install. Future videos will go into how I am wiring lights up to this, but that is pretty straight forward.

I got in on the second round of Garage Alpha TRD Grill’s for the GX470 and made a video going over how to get it installed. I love how this updates the front end of the GX. Let me know what you think!

I installed the Desert Does It front seat jackers and multi mount panel in my GX470 and I was amazed with how much it improved the comfort of this truck. I thought these may primarily benefit taller people (which I am sure they do), but even being average height, I noticed a drastic improvement with how comfortable I feel in the driver’s seat now. The multi mount panel also adds a very convenient place to store various items like a knife, radio, emergency escape tool, fire extinguisher, medical kit, or whatever else your imagination can dream up.

Definitely give Desert Does It a look if you would like to improve the comfort of your adventure rig. They make seat jackers for a number of different vehicles.

Not exactly GX related, but it is overlanding related! I recently got in the Camp Chef Rainier 2X from Overlanded.com to test out, and review for the channel. It is a really cool camp stove that gives you a stove and a griddle all in one. Overlanded gave me a discount code to share with all my viewers so watch the video to get that if you want to pick this stove up for yourself.

I installed the Roadshock Ditch Lights (Flood version) from Harbor Freight recently and was really surprised with how good the light output was from these budget friendly pods. I used the JW Offroad ditch light brackets to mount them and the brackets are rock solid. If you are looking to step up from the cheap amazon pod light options but not quite ready to drop $250 on a set of pods, give these a look!
