Great Overland Vehicle? How Good is the GX460 As An Off-Road Vehicle?

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

excellent video. The GX460 is awesome offroad. Ours is stock height too. Once you cut the low hanging plastic off you're good to go! Again great job

[@CruisinMiles]

We actually have the 2” lift from IronMan4x4. All we’ve done so far is pull the speed flaps off the bumper. Next is to viper cut

[@pireina1]

Looks like it is one of the best off-road vehicles.

[@markmd695]

I have a 470, but these are some of the best overlanding rigs made

[@CruisinMiles]

Seriously! Probably 2nd only to the land cruiser LOL but I’m biased

[@markmd695]

@@CruisinMiles same! I've been a lc guy for years! Last build was a 1986 fj60

[@RichCinema]

I just need a bullbar bumper for dear and storage for now. Next will be wheels and lift !

[@CruisinMiles]

Which bullbar are you planning on going with?

[@RichCinema]

@@CruisinMiles I have no idea, some of them dont look like they have enough coverage or connect to the frame to be of any actual use and others Id have to replace the entire bumper. Still looking and researching a happy medium. I do plan on replacing the bumper with Iron man and plating the bottom but not yet.

@@CruisinMiles Thank you! we have a pretty similar setup!

[@CruisinMiles]

@@wheeltogetoutthere yeah kinda but not really lol! You got a lot more on yours. If you’re ever in San Bernardino area, hit me up

@@CruisinMiles yessir!

@@CruisinMiles you’re in the Dino? That’s the hood haha. I lived there 5 years unfortunately.

[@vegasstang1]

Nice GX! What are those wheels off of? I've been thinking about going to a 17 inch wheel and those look good.

[@CruisinMiles]

@@vegasstang1 thank you. These wheels are off a 1st gen tundra or sequoia. 17x7 +15 offset

[@vegasstang1]

@@CruisinMiles Thank you! There is a set of these for sale local to me. I think they look great on a 460.

[@CruisinMiles]

@@vegasstang1 absolutely. Good luck

[@allincamo]

Which years are best for a build , not rock crawling , don’t care for leather but I guess they all have it. I want the simple way . Help.

[@CruisinMiles]

I prefer the 2010-2013 years because their front ends already have more clearance. 2014+ have less approach angle. A viper cut will help, but the 2010-2013 have even more clearance. But if you’re going to go with an aftermarket bumper. It won’t matter too much

[@bender_gxor4092]

Which bulbs did you use for your DRL? And your fogs? Thanks

[@CruisinMiles]

Using the stock DRL. We just keep the low beams on 24/7 lol

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

baja designs is a reputable aftermarket fog too...

I want this bag could u tell me where you purchased it

Great video. What size tires are you running? I am asking this because I want to understand what size tire you are fitting in the spare tire location underneath the car. Thanks!

[@CruisinMiles]

We’re only running 275/75/17 Not too much bigger than stock, and apparently it will fit in the stock location but we currently don’t have the same size spare under there

[@hinnythingispossible]

@@CruisinMiles Thank you for your prompt and detailed response! I just got a GX460 last week and I'm trying to do all the research I can before I make my first tire purchase. I've purchased TRD Pro wheels and they are coming in soon. Thanks! Subbed!

[@CruisinMiles]

@@hinnythingispossible no problem. 275/75/17 will clear stock height as well. The sequoia wheels that are on there now are 17x7.5 +15, the TRD wheels are 17x7 +10 I believe and will clear with no problem

[@kaizen4083]

Are you running gx470 wheels? If so what’s your tire setup?

[@CruisinMiles]

These are wheels off a 1st Gen Sequoia. 17x7.5 +15. 275/75/17

[@kaizen4083]

@@CruisinMiles awesome thank you so much 🙏

[@lolotus4borderless]

Very informative, thank you, i always wondered about fuel with a V8 off road How do you do for fuel? Additional tank, Jerry cans?

[@CruisinMiles]

Well, it’s not so much the fact it’s a v8, it’s more of the technology that’s applied. More modern v8 designs have better mpg. Toyota uses older technologies because of they’re proven reliability. So in short, gas mileage is rather poor. I mean, on freeway driving we are getting 12mph average. Exactly why mpg wasn’t a category I was prioritizing. As for extra fuel, fuel pax for our needs. With the type of off-roading/Overlanding we do, fuelpax are more than enough. And it’s my belief that Jerry cans/Rotopax/fuelpax are more than enough for 90% of the offroad/overland community here in the US. I think an extended range tank or auxiliary tank is definitely a monumental upgrade, but upgrades like those are definitely suited for those who spend weeks or maybe months offroad or even off-the-grid. With that said, as a self proclaimed Prepper, I’d definitely love to invest in an extended range tank combined with Jerry cans. But that’s a whole other subject lol.

[@lolotus4borderless]

@@CruisinMiles thank you for the detailed response, i truly appreciate

[@runnerxa]

How are you getting 12 mpg on the freeway on an almost stock configuration? My GX470 with a slight lift on 32" KO2 plus full under body skids get 16.x mpg on the freeway and my LX570 on 33" Baja Boss AT also get 16.x mpg on the freeway. Your GX460 has one extra gear and 30+ HP bump from the VVT-i GX470. The LX is way heavier than either the GX470/460 with an empty stock weight at 6000#. I do not carry anything on the roof rack anymore. Previously I had a CVT RTT on my custom low profile full length roof rack and it dropped my GX470 freeway mpg to 13mpg. Might consider mounting the roof items to a hitch carrier or inside the vehicle.

[@TheLukaszpg]

well it is not a toyota...

Who’s gonna tell him??
