Vlog 61 - AOAA Trail Day (Lexus GX470)

[@andyforristel8590]

Spent the weekend binge-watching your GX videos. These are fantastic! I truly appreciate your eye towards budget; not going for flashiest and most expensive items as well as your focus on function. I'm a novice DIY'er and use my 470 mostly for getting around the snowy Sierra Nevada's. You've given me some great ideas to follow up on!

[@Awesomoto]

Thank you so much Drew! I appreciate you taking the time to not only watch these videos, but notice those details. I don't have an unlimited budget and I make do with what I can when working on the vehicle. Most modifications are first time attempts for me as I too am a novice DIY'er trying to grow my skills. Again, thank you so much for the donation and reaching out. It will certainly go back into the channel!

The truck looks so damn good In the snow 👍🏿

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks Andy!

Love the way the GX looks in the snow and the fog lights look great on camera!

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks Kaisar! It was a blast getting out in the snow for a change.

[@KareemAdnan]

Wish you were in North Texas to meet up and get your ideas and recommendations. Have a great New Years! Love your content.

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks Axial! Happy New Year! Well you should definitely keep an eye out for an east coast GX meet up that I'm planning this year!

[@RandomStoryTime02]

@Awesomoto will totally keep an eye out! Thanks and Happy New Years!

I have been to AOAA a few times, it can get crazy out there but good times to be had. Last time I was there I took a trail that overlooked the Mammoth trail and that was the first time I looked at a trail and gave it a hard no LOL. I'll gladly watch somebody else do that. Next time you go there though I recommend bringing a socket set so you can remove your running boards. Also what tire pressure did you run? With how rocky that place is I run 18psi on a 285/70r17.

[@Awesomoto]

That's awesome you've been out, so you know just how many trails this place has. Yes, Mammoth trail is absolutely insane lol. Good idea, I plan to rip them off this year and do an install video for some rock sliders. I should have aired down more in hindsight because I only went down to 25 psi on 285/70/17 and it was too stiff.

Can't get over how nice the gx looks. How well did those tires do on the snow?

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks e60! The tires did great in the snow, but like all tires...not great on ice lol.

[@cashbyclose]

What front bumper is that?

[@Awesomoto]

This is the @GoliathOffroad bumper, which I have a full install and review of on my channel. The short summary of the bumper...It's awesome and I couldnt be more happy with the purchase!

[@CMF_1]

Did you air down? (If I missed it, apologies)

[@Awesomoto]

Yes, but should have aired down more. I only went down 8-10 PSI and probably should have been lower.
