I have a totally stock '17 GX. I'm not interested in extreme overlanding or rock crawling. I am interested in back country camping on, for example, forest service roads. So I'm looking for some advice on what size Wheels and tires you would recommend to gain a little ground clearance. I love the TRD wheels you used and I'm here in Utah as well and know there are a lot available. Thanks for your input. I really enjoy your channel!

I’ve been running 33s and it’s been fantastic. It gets me anywhere I want to go. If you just want to do forest service roads you could get away with 31s. I went TRD take off route wheel wise because they are inexpensive option in the used market

0:59 100% That's what it is. It's a water Guzzler where the water runs off the metal into a collection area, and then usually into a holding tank or something where it won't evaporate as easily and some goes out where the cattle can drink it. I've seen a few variations of it in Utah but the basic build build is the same. And they still work amazingly well even when they're half worn out.

Got my running boards cut off and it looks so much better in general. I’d also recommend removing the 3rd row, you gain 5 inches of space and can get some drawers in there or even just more height for storage

Boy, this is almost to a point exactly how I've done my GX and, almost 100k miles later, I couldn't be happier. I'm so glad there are others basically doing OEM+ in their approach in a world of paid 'influencers' who dump $70k into their rigs just to flex on the Gram and YT. Question - how has the NashFabCo ladder held up? Mine rusted something awful. I tried to waterproof it but it was too far gone and I had to scrap it.

I got one of those Tail Wing installed on the top spoiler and the lip is like 1-2 inches out... do you think the ladder will have enough clearance? since the top part is taped to the top of the spoiler by 3M tape. Or should i just get the Half ladder from Nashfabco? your opinion and input will be greatly appreciated 🙏

No offense to this gentleman, I really like his trailer, very cute. Somebody needs to help this guy build proper off-road trailer with off-road suspension. Then he can keep this cute little bugger for the the on road adventures. I have experience with a very similar teardrop. I’ve had both a tab 320 and tag XL Boondock both had torsion axles. That is exactly why I now have a trailer with true independent suspension with shock absorbers on each wheel, and real all-terrain tires. It is great see you guys pitch in as a team and get the disabled trailer off the trail. These are experiences and memories you will always remember.
