The ULTIMATE Lexus GX470 OFF-ROAD/Overland Build (For Under $20k) Part 4

In this video, we cover the equipment that makes overlanding in a Lexus GX470 or similar rig, like a Toyota 4Runner or otherwise, a comfortable and enriching experience, rather than a nightmare. Overlanding is just car camping, but this does not mean you have to be uncomfortable or miserable.

Good video! I build toward Overlanding and exploring and so many people tell me to modify it for “off-roading.” I just want to get out and truck camp, not crawl over boulders 😂

[@ReconRecovery]

Love it! Look forward to working with you. You are inspiring us to work on our GX a bit more!

I have a goal zero 3000x and use induction. Easier setup and clean up. Heats food super fast with a cast iron. Heats water really fast. And you’re right I’ve completely eliminated propane tanks and definitely have more space. 👍

Thanks for commenting! How much of the 3k watt hours do you use per meal or per day using induction?

Great series!

Yesssssss!!!!

Your mini is so cute

I just need a rear tire carrier for mine

[@krunckap3795]

May I humbly request your thoughts on 285/75/17 tires on stock gears? Light weight build

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

That’s about a 34” tire. Here’s the reality, it’s not going to drive great on stock gears whether it’s 33”-35” tires or whatever. There are some things you can do about it: keep the rig light (which you mentioned), and avoid E-rated heavy-weight tires. Look at the weight of the tire you’re looking at just as much as the size. 34” is definitely tall for a stock geared GX, but you may like it. Hard to say. Fuel economy and performance will take a decent hit though.

@@lexus_offroad_adventures you're right, you're always right 🤣 I'm willing to take the performance and drivability hit if there isn't a substantial additional risk of drivetrain damage or catastrophic failure. In your estimate, will 285 75 17s on stock gears inevitably lead to damage or will it just be sluggish and a bit thirstier?

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

@@krunckap3795 sluggish and thirsty with a higher risk breaking stuff if you’re too aggressive. Keep it slow and back off if you’re spinning a lot. Let ATRAC get you up the obstacle

[@John-fm8yl]

Have you considered a tailgate table?

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Yes I have. Not sure if I’d be ok with the smell from cooking going into the vehicle or not. Do you use one? Any issues with smells staying inside the car?

[@John-fm8yl]

@@lexus_offroad_adventures I don't have one, but I'd like one. Hadn't thought about that tho. I'd probably just set up my Coleman stove on the far right, away from the vehicle.
