Wooohoooo let’s go!

[@boris_vf_gx]

Hell yeah. Definitely hit me up next time u go

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

100% bro! All plated up now ✅ lol

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

excellent job! we went up this first waterfall completely blind without a spotter... 😆 definitely a spotter trail.. also the cameras always flatten this trail out... as you said way steeper and scary than it looks on camera.

[@mrjacobchapman]

Where did you get the tire holder for the GX? Looks like it mounted to the factory bumper?

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

It mounts to the frame! Check out Restless off-road: www.restlessoffroad.com/product-page/full-swing-out-bolt-on

We got stuck at 09:00min into your video. Rocks were too slick for us to grab. I think I could’ve air down to 14-15psi but didn’t want to risk it. And this was during summer

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Ok so I wasn’t the only one who thought that part was crazy difficult!

[@FLO-JUMPERS]

Any info in lockers price and installation and a the shop that installed them ?

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

More info on the shop/regear ratio here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3rbp4V3nN6XopY Cost is about $5k minimum I’d say but I was part of a group buy so could vary

[@luajpoj]

How did you add rear locker onto that gx470? Were the stock rear differential a torsen? I'm looking to buy an eaton elocker for my 2011 4runner limited which has a torsen differential and an full-time awd. Wondering if I can fit a rear locker without binding the awd system

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Stock front and rear differentials are open, with an electronic locking torsen center differential. I had a shop go in and regear my front/rear diffs to 4.88 gears and put in air lockers while they were in there. 2010+ 4 runner limited shares the center locker/AWD system with the GX460(2010+), which is very similar to the 470 (03-09 like I have). The locker can’t bind the AWD system system if used properly. Only use the locker when you’re off road and you’ll be fine.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

I did a video on how our drivetrain works in case you’re worried about binding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6LGqH6eaq2iitk

[@luajpoj]

Thanks, I literally thought that i was done for without being able to install rear locker . You just gave me good hope and I'll check out the vid

[@georgec2562]

Noooo don't bother moving you lexus out of they way ......what sense would that make.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

What

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Why the versus bro?! It ain’t a battle 😂

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Just trying to hit the search terms bro. What should I call it instead?

@@lexus_offroad_adventures that would go off like gang busters

[@gxor4x4]

What kind of tire pressure were you running? Just curious those Patties seemed pretty hard, but good stuff either way.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Yeah maybe 18psi wasn’t low enough. I’ll definitely bring it down next time

[@flisms]

What are the neon cables around trucks at end?

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

It’s the Morrflate tire inflator/deflator system! Makes it so all tires are the same pressure. Great for airing up/down: bit.ly/3W6MjQV

[@georgec2562]

I've said before. I love your truck ...but 35s are too big

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Lol not with a regear! Just need to trim a bit more …

[@ronthor5621]

Watching this makes me want to sell my GX 😢

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Haha, watch the more recent videos i did at John Bull trail. The GX is a beast and kept up with some crazy SAS rock crawlers no problem. The Tacoma long wheel base helps in some cases and not in others. This video showed a section that really favored the LWB of the taco.

[@alwayspointnorth]

Haha that was a great day. Still upset we all decided wasn't best to keep going.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Hah yeah might have been a loooong day if we did tho. Good times 🤙
