[@ProjectCarTV]

Awesome. I'm working on a I6 Trailblazer myself. Not much aftermarket support.

[@Moondoggy1941]

The good thing about GX 470 is they last forever, the bad thing is trying to get the OG buyer to sell there's.

[@demarkuswilson2141]

You live life man. God Bless you! I just got a lifted FJ 07 and i just want to drive forever and live and work from it.

[@prado.offroad]

You wont be disappointed with the Dobinsons, running 2 inch all round on out Prado 120, great ride and suspension travel is excellent

[@chrischee4888]

Stunning build Logan. Definitely my dream car, and your build is my dream build. Classy clean and rugged. Prices really skyrocketed though so that's definitely on the backburner. Great job! Thanks for the video and inspiration.

[@vision2155]

Sickest 470 build I've seen.

[@cryptoflipdoe7141]

This is the best GX470 I've seen, great job!!

[@Kaizen2013v]

Hey bro. You've inspired & convinced me to go with the GX470. Appreciate the fresh and creative outlook from a fellow Canuck. Ive been slowly doing my research and hopefully I'll be ready to start sourcing one in the next year. Keep up the great content!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks man!! Thats awesome

[@AgentJ415]

Thanks for getting to my question! I just bought the trailer marjer lights and a magnaflow muffler. Excited!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Awesome!!

[@juanathandavid]

Finally another GX with the PTZ3s. Great tires. Nice bumper too.

[@KarpucMotoring]

🙌🏻 That interior mount is dope, I see something new I want everytime I look at your truck! Magnaflow 12256 Satin Stainless Steel 2.5" Oval Muffler is a good muffler option.

[@d.phothirath5084]

Just bought my GX470 in white also ! Love your rig and thank you for some of the ideas for my build.

[@BURYACHANNEL]

Respect from Yakutia (Russia)! Amazing GX!

[@OverlandPNW]

It is beautiful and a beast off road !

[@dylanhunter19]

Your Lexus IS the background on my phone 😍

[@LoganKingMedia]

That is awesome!!

[@CSAFMedia]

For those new to your channel, can you do a video on why you selected the Lexus GX470 for overlanding. The most common trucks seen offroad are Jeeps and Tacomas, so very curious what led you to select the GX470. Awesome content, keep it coming. 👏

[@j0hnwho]

I love your set up! The bumper is hella clean and not bulky

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!

[@iscozky]

The front bumper looks great! I want the same set up for my GX! Thanks for the video.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks! More videos coming soon!

[@scaley312]

Very tasteful mods, well done!

We saw a rig very similar to your about a month ago in the Virginia mountains. Great build!

[@obsidian00]

As a fellow Photographer, this is also my dream rig! Well done good Sir, we’ll done!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!!

[@dattepo7534]

Clean set up

I've been eyeballing that bumper on your Instagram feed for a few weeks now. Very nice GX!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!

Yup super interested in shop organization🤘🏼

[@StoverEnt]

Nice content. Would love to see you do a custom fold down table with cutting board for the rear door.

[@taylorgarvie199]

Can’t go wrong with off-road and Subaru fun keep it up Logan ✌🏻💯🇨🇦

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks, will do!!

[@White_buffalo_4r]

Sweet build reminds me of our 4R

[@ajanaya100]

What a beautiful car, it really is the best in off-road

[@208Tyler]

I definitely want to see some woodworking! Also, congrats on reaching 1k subs so fast! Your channel is awesome!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks man!

[@3.0colorado21]

The gx is going to be my family rig here soon. Gonna keep saving because I don’t want to get rid of my 4runner lol. Love the videos man.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!!

[@VeganRashad]

We getting two!

[@mailejordan7241]

as i was reading your comment i was thinking about how when i watch videos besides 4runner videos that i’m going to see other biases besides ones that line up with mine and then i kept reading your comment and i was relieved to see that you also have a 4runner bias 💪🏽

[@whoisthishamster]

Keep doing what you are doing and your channel will grow!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks!

[@6Mictian9]

Clean and good looking Rig. I still have issues with rubbing with -38 offset. SPC UCA, body mount relocation. Running 285/75/17's and rubbing the firewall. Had to switch to 285/70/17 and no issues... Love that front bumper...Ordered back in April and have not heard a peep from them. Was told 10 week lead time and we are at 16 weeks now. Cannot get ahold of anyone and they are not returning emails. Can't even call them as no number listed...

[@NathanProctor]

Great video man!

[@dv8740]

Your videos made me recently pull the trigger on a red dog front bumper. Love the low profile of it. You did a beautiful build with some nice original touches on your gx. Thanks for sharing.

[@slopppy75]

Did you get it? And how do you like it?

[@dv8740]

@@slopppy75 Glad you asked. I ordered it 7 months ago....weeks and months would go by with zero communication from red dog.....then....finally they say it's complete....then ghost me for a week with no shipping quote. Then I line up shipping and they stop responding. I get pissed and start messinging on FB, calls and emails. Then , red dog says they didn't like that I was trying to get a hold of them that way and they canceled my order with no warning after holding $2300 for 7 months. Then took 4-5 days to refund the $. Super pissed. Do not recommend that company. Extremely unprofessional.

[@slopppy75]

@@dv8740 that’s a shame. The bumper is by far the best looking one out there. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@dv8740]

@@slopppy75 I completely agree....I was super bummed when they canceled my order. I would have way rather just have had them send me the damn thing. Such a bummer

[@juggg6761]

Damn man, thanks for the review. What plans do you have for the front bumper now?

[@shawnskiba5874]

Like the setup. Looks like you are happy with the adds.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks yes super happy!

[@VoIPPortland]

Always wanted an FJ60/62, but now I am confused lol - + V8. That is amazing.

[@franzvanjulio5523]

Definitely interested in your woodworking video. Nice rig!

Thank you!!

Nice rig

[@mcmxc3794]

Nice! Ive bin on the search for the right Gx470 here in Ontario for almost a year. I already have a 4th gen 4Runner but i plan to have & keep both.

Sweet! Yeah it is hard to find clean ones in Canada!

Yours looks SO much better than lifestyle overland! That bumper makes a HUGE difference! Looks sooo good!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks you!!

[@maxturner1434]

Please post some woodworking videos. I am in the process of optimizing my garage to make it a more functional workspace and I would like to see how/why you designed yours the way you did. Thanks for the great videos! Happy Holidays. -Max

[@sashayav5061]

This is probably what my GX will be like if I keep it long term.

[@sashayav5061]

@Justin Turdeau Mine is already half way there lol

[@LoveAnim3]

Exactly how I want mine to look if I ever get the money

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Love this rig and setup! One day when my GX crosses the bridge from daily driver to off road dedicated I want to get a more aggressive bumper like you have.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!!

[@josephl9831]

nice gx470! Hope to be lifting mine soon.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks!

[@arikpeterson6260]

BTW, come on out to Colorado some time. We could find some great exploring.

[@coolgirlz102]

Nice video, I'm about to start building my LC200 2014. Trying hard to get a few videos done before the first major shop mods, if not for youtube at least for my memories. LOL. Keep it up and I'd love to see some of the wood projects.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you! Honestly I just started this channel for the memories of my trips.

[@Noisycowonline]

Amazing how capable a STOCK one is --- this is insanely capable, might survive Polar Shift!! :)

another good video

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks!

[@jdubmash]

Super sweet

[@crisg.5766]

Great rig! You mentioned that you sleep inside. Did you build the drawers to give a flat surface when the back seats are down? If so how long is the space? Would it accommodate a 6 ft tall person? Would love to see a video for that.

[@stefan5218]

oh my god... i want one

[@aaronmarshall7437]

Hey Logan, I want to increase the ease of steering control on my nearly stock gx470. The turning is just a bit heavy. What would you do? Does it make sense to put a new power steering pump in, would that make it more solid and easier to turn?

[@hccvad591]

I like your GX set up. Can you tell me how the rear ladder is installed and how far from the door does it stick out? Lastly, where do you carry your spare tire?

[@mahoward92]

Great content man, I just got a 2008 GX and I am trying to figure out what my options are when it comes to mods. I am curious what have you spent on mods up to this point? Keep up the awesome work!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Some of the products I am testing for companies and Im in Canada where everything is more expensive but I would say to budget around 10-12k to get it like mine is.

[@chaseandersen]

Just bought one today from an original owner white 07, non navi, 78k mi

[@jamiesparling5661]

Alberta Represent! One of the nicest Toyotas I have seen! Did you re-gear?

[@rocknrawls]

Of all the tires you’ve ran over the years, what would be your #1 go to for snow and ice alike?

[@scubbarookie]

These rigs are amazing! Seems to be a nice blend of Toyota Landcruiser and 4runner in a lux package! The only issue would have to be the KDSS (Shock system). I would delete it and go with a proven off road setup. I would really get into the suspension and redo the geometry for better travel and comfort; all in one, if possible. Body armor would be a good priority if offloading! I really like your setup so far. Thank you!

[@macrofocus1988]

I have a GX 470 with KDSS and banged it off many a rock over the last two years. I might mention the KDSS is not a shock system, it is a sway bar lock / unlock system. Similar to jeeps with electronic sway bar disconnect, except KDSS is totally automatic and it works. The KDSS performs like a champ.

[@scubbarookie]

That would make sense because of all the new advances in off-road technology. If you could incorporate this system with a new and compatible spring and shock setup, you could have a best of both worlds kinda deal. Nice!

[@10TPOPR]

@@macrofocus1988 how much lift can you get before running into issues with KDSS?

[@irvingojeda3121]

Hi, Do you also have link for the lift you have ? Do you a video on how much the fenders needed to be trimmed / adjusted in order to fit those tires.

[@grn9209]

Following you on Instagram Lexus Luthor 👏🏼

[@Captain-Awesome]

I am thinking about getting one of these as an off-road toy. What are some of the standard equipment options that I need to be looking for as well as trim package wise? Does it come standard with Lockers, front and rear? How big of tires can I go with on the standard axles and half shafts? Stuff like that. Thank you! Great Video by the way and your GX looks awesome!! Love that front bumper and cargo area!!

[@yarlwise1089]

Nice build Logan. Any tire rubbing? I have 2005 gx470 on 35s with the same suspension and JBA ucas. Unfortunately, it rubbs a lot. I've decided to install 1.5 in body lift; hope, it will help to avoid this issue.

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

Looking to buy after I sell my Silverado, perfect size

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Which rung did you put the Eibach fronts at? I went way too low by going on the first one and will he taking them out to raise them to the third. (Getting the Demello bumper/smittybilt winch). Would be interested to know which one you went with on your setup.

[@LoganKingMedia]

I am on the second notch, you could go as high as the third notch because of the weight of the bumper and winch you are adding but it may sit slightly higher than the back then.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

@@LoganKingMedia yeah sounds like the third is the way to go for me. Thanks!

[@avisiani]

very nice. do you change ratio for this big tyre????

[@APOLLOstackwell]

Another great video! Not only do you make me want a GX, you’re making me want to pick up my camera again.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks and thats awesome!

[@CumBrianFries]

It would look a lot better if you could make the fender flares the same color as the fab front bumper.

[@Helzdottir2903]

Ya.I love your build I can see a very similar one in my future.Any issues changing out the rear air suspension with the ebiach kit?

[@LoganKingMedia]

No issues!

[@calvic23]

Quick question, how much rust does the GX have on the frame? Im looking at one right now which has some rust underneath. I dont think its an issue but it does have rust on it

[@baller15g]

Please make videos regarding wood projects.

[@StraightOuttaRockies]

hey Logan, how are the SPC UCAs holding up in Canadian weather and overall with wheeling (tons of mixed reviews about those in forums)? I see you wheel pretty hard, any concerns or recommendations about those?

[@Walkerrides]

Hell yeah Canadian

[@dominicano19]

Love your videos, I hope you don't mind me copying your whole setup(Santa will get me the bumper for Christmas tho), I'm jumping on a set of pro truck today and was wondering if there's any issues if I have kdss on the gx? mine is an 04... You know I need that clearance for the potholes and snow here in Montreal, Quebec...

[@Ghostdogsurvivalist]

If you don't mind, what boots were you wearing?

Superb 470, can you please send me the info to order the front lights and the front bumper? thousand thanks

[@peterdomagala7560]

Hi Logan, I am interested in upgrading my 2005 lx 470tires/rim's to 35". Most of the video's that I have seen, have major modifications. When I watched your video the amount of materials removed seemed minimal vs. others. Is there anything else you did to gain clearance? Thanks in advance for your time. Your channel is awesome and for a newbie like me, I am also learning a ton.

[@user-kk7gz7xs5l]

With 35s are you straining the motor? Did you have to regear?

[@evilbean5524]

By far this the best looking 470 I've ever seen! I subscribe to your video and I'm hooked. If you didn't get a 2008, what other years would you have considered?

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you very much!

[@robertkuroda6507]

Where’d you get those headlamps from?

[@arikpeterson6260]

Hey Logan, You talked about putting sliders on the GX. You also asked about wood working. I was kicking around building some wood sliders. Don’t laugh, cars use to be built out of wood, and did some pretty crazy roads. I was thinking some Ash sliders with metal casing. They could be replaced if broken or cracked, but I think it would look pretty sick. What do you think?

[@alonzokincaid1362]

No… just no
