That green is one of my favorite colors and it's awesome you found a P4X! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to pull the suspension and tires off but it’s okay. I wasn’t happy with what I put on it anyway.
I can’t wait to pull my parts out of the storage unit and get to installing them. Winch Mount will be the next purchase after tires.

Got the X registered yesterday so I spent last night and this morning just messing around with it. Installed some of my old interior parts, threw the ladder on since nobody seemed to want to buy it (♂️) and removed the side steps and mud flaps. Nothing too exciting but it made it more up to my speed.
Ordered tires today as well. 285/75/16 General Grabber A/TX’s so those should be on by weeks end. Then maybe get it out on a quick break in trail next weekend

Damn, sorry about your first one, it was a really clean, good looking build. But that green one is a super cool color, and in a PX4 if I'm not mistaken? I'm sure it'll be as bitchen in no time...

Interestingly enough my X was just totaled and I too was about to pull the trigger on a GX470 when I found an X I couldn’t pass up. Jealous of your color though. My new one will be (boring) silver but hey it blends in for highway speeding times!

There was a silver one in Chicago I was going to try to buy if this one fell through. Easier to find body panels lol. Hopefully you were able to pull your parts off of your old one

Took the new X for its first trip this weekend. While I didn’t find much in terms of off roading around Hoosier National Forest, we did manage to find a pretty decent place to camp with easily more than enough space for 2-3 more vehicles.

Been an interesting couple of months. Fairly certain I blew the diff out of the X last week so I’m waiting for the final diagnosis and estimate on that.
But while that’s been down I decided to finally tackle the drawer system I’ve been stocking supplies for for months. Pretty happy with the outcome and just need to cut top panels this week, sand, paint, and then mount my tilting fridge slide and we’ll be set once I get the X back.

So, some good news… didn’t blow the rear diff. Turns out what we were all certain was gear noise was actually a broken leaf spring rubbing on the tire. Our guess is the diving board effect was sending the chatter down the diff and making it sound like gear noise.
So while that’s awesome news, I took it as an opportunity to upgrade. And unfortunately that’s as far as I’ve gotten lol the company is waiting on the Bilstein struts and they should ship in the next few weeks.
While the X has been down, I had a trip planned to start checking off my national parks and do some camping. I knew I couldn’t cancel the trip cause I desperately needed to get away from my job and recenter, so I loaded up my civic and threw my RTT on and left. All in all, it was a pretty good trip. Definitely would have rather had the X though and the camping set up I have recently finished for it (but it’s hard to pass up 32+ mpg with a RTT).
Fingers crossed I’ll have my lift soon and be able to get back out there
