Transforming a Lexus GX470 | Rig Walkaround in -40 Windchill

[@nitroxide17]

I’m normally a Jeep guy but damn… this is hands down the coolest Lexus/Toyota build I’ve seen.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you! I hope to have a jeep as well one day!

[@jasonstilgebouer3904]

check out the Cali Fab lexus..... badass

[@krasnaludek298]

Jeeps/Rams, Fords, & Chevys are best! 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@SpencerHogg]

Love the GX build man and what you've done with it, the new custom lights look fantastic - great video too that smooth intro was insane

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks Spencer!!

[@roruphotography]

Still my all time favorite build!! Love seeing new updates!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!!

[@VelcorHF]

This is still the best built gx ive seen. Would love to see more off road adventures man.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you! Just filmed one yesterday that will hopefully be out soon!

[@marcochavane3124]

Man if I didn't have kids an constant legal battles with their mom I would have ours build like this. Until then I'm glad to have content I can live vicariously through like this. Such a dope rig.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks man! Hopefully the legal battles end soon and you can build yours!

[@philly777l3]

Where can I find this Front bumper? Please let me know. It’s the only one. I really like. But can’t find it! Thanks! Your GX is the sexy one I’ve seen!

[@jamiesparling5661]

Your channel largely influenced my GX purchase (Which I bought in Calgary btw). I am deffo going to copy a lot of your ideas. I don't think I've ever heard you mention a re-gear. Would be cool to know if you if you are planning to, think its fine as is - with 35s - or made the mod. Thanks for the content!

[@LoganKingMedia]

That is awesome!! I may still regear in the future but right now for me in fine with how it drives with all the torque. I also got a throttle controller and that helped a lot with the sluggish feeling of having 35’s.

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

you'll love your new GX460

[@station08]

Can you imagine pulling that front end apart for a new ring and pinion ? That diff has to be buried.

[@zimmzamm8763]

Wow. The stance coupled with that front bumper mod makes this one sexy vehicle.

[@magnus9165]

Best looking best equipped overland build GX470 ever. Love it.

Thank you!!

[@njs_own1923]

The grill is insane!

[@mikerobbins5049]

Really nice rig. And a beautiful dog too.

[@SSG004.]

Black door handles would look at lot better with ur Blacked out grill and bumper. Awesome build. I own a 2005 GX470 all black and I love it.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you! Yeah black door handles is a good idea!

[@reynoldmichael1348]

That is probably the cleanest SUV I've ever seen

[@j_hj_j]

Dude, I have 2008 blizzard white gx470 exactly like yours. I live in the US, do you ship the front bumper to the US?

[@LoganKingMedia]

That’s awesome and yeah Red Dog Fabrication does ship bumpers to the US!

[@helioqueiroz2029]

This looks so great! Amazing!

[@KGX470]

can you talk more about the Eibach pro kit?? how does it ride, how it performs off-road/on-road? how does the back ride with the HD springs? etc.

[@LoganKingMedia]

It rides fantastic on-road with way less body roll and does not dive as much when braking also very smooth in my opinion. Off-road it has also performed well and has held up well to the abuse off-road. A more expensive suspension setup with adjustable dampening would be nice for off-road to make it even softer but obviously that will cost you more.

[@ryanknoup6288]

Had the Duratrac’s on a Pathfinder and will second the sentiment on their snow performance. They are incredible.

[@klmlng8460]

What is front bumper is that

[@nadirkhonsari45]

Hey Logan King, I love the Red Dog front bumper. I have been trying to find one in states and shipped to Denver with no luck. I was wondering if you can give me tips where to get one.for GX470 like yours. Not sure if you get comments notifications or not. Long shot hearing back from you. Hopefully I'll :-)

[@Chase_Schrader]

Good ole Alberta weather, I might of went camping in it haha

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

Looking good... what kind of roof rack is it? Peace ✌️ from SoCal USA

[@Rancejunge]

I have a 2004 Lexus GX470 that I am modifying exactly like yours with 35x12.5x20 Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tires. What is the best offset for the wheels? I saw you used both -38 and -27 what works best for wheel clearance? Looks like I have to weld my own front bumper as no one sells one that looks like yours. Great job on what you have done!

[@Cementtacothyme]

Love the build man! Stoked to see what comes next! Hopefully meet up on the trails!🤙🏻

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks man!

[@w_dub_wilberforcejr]

the pods in the bumper are they spots or floods?

[@Bawchikabawow]

Fellow filmmaker. Makes me wanna get the crane on my GX.

[@Mr.International82]

What did you regear your gx470 to upgrading to 35s for tires?

[@dethbell08]

Do you ever have a power steering whine when you first start the car when it’s cold out like super cold?

[@khoapham2764]

Beautiful rig! Got a fj and def going 35s on it with a 3 inch lift but I have to measure and adjust with wanting it in the garage as well. Gotta pay to play! Front definitely looks very good and chopping the rear looks badass!! Looking forward to the future videos! 👍👍👍

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!! 35’s on the fj will look great!

[@Glanzautosalon]

Where did I tap the grill lights?

[@iamchaunceman]

i know youve changed the wheels again, but these Sierra are so clean, and unlike the F5, VERY unique. But the F5 is popular for a reason, looking for new wheels on my silver GX and cant decide between the two, but atleast the Sierra wheels are in stock lol.

[@samsungtv4u]

Am I still able to buy the bumper?? Could you send me a link maybe?

[@cnknguyen]

Any plans for an Elocker or anything? I just ordered up an Eaton elocker for mine, hoping it helps with those really technical bits.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Yeah I would love one in the future!

Love the build, except for the color. Why are they always white? Anyway, do you ever feel like you need more power with tires that size?

[@flexin81]

Love your build! How bad did your mpgs get with the 35s? Stock gears? Not known for there mpgs to begin with. Mine gets 15 tops. Just curious..thx

[@MrLuescher]

Are you regeared or running the stock 3.73 gearing?

[@jaxartle7542]

do you have aftermarket upper or lower control arms on? I can't tell, just curious. Also, is the frame, suspension geometry shared with the 4runner, FJ, Tacoma?

[@LoganKingMedia]

UCA's are from SPC and LCA's are stock with Ok Expedition LCA skid plates. Yeah it is all shared between those platforms for the most part.

[@Rowganlife]

what is the maximum weight rating for that roof rack?

[@the_gold_canopy]

I’ve been considering ditching the Tacoma scene for the GX. Taco scene is overcrowded with plasti dip parts, LED bars, mall crawlers, stupid tire size questions, and hideous builds that lack useful parts and off-road accessories. This video has me sold on the switch.
