You Don't Need a Big Budget to Enjoy Overlanding! A Tour of my GX470

[@JohnSaxby-g7v]

I love sleeping/overlanding in my 04 GX470. Lifted well.

[@RoadsOptional]

Nice! What lift? And what’s your sleeping setup like?

[@JohnSaxby-g7v]

I went with the old man emu, 3 inch lift with airbag delete freedom, upper control, arms and track bar correction. I went with a kit for the sleeping platform made of channel aluminum with plywood, top, folding, etc. from .GXBasecamp It was very cost-effective. It took me a little while to put together, but probably shouldn’t have and works incredible. Lots of storage underneath.

@@RoadsOptional currently at mechanic getting sliders and skids

[@RoadsOptional]

Very nice! I've heard great things about both OME lift and the GX Basecamp platform. Sliders might be in our future too 👀

[@chrisdeguzman7795]

Congrats, same here. Late for the party, i just recently got my gx and planning to take her all over👍

[@herculeets5070]

Looking forward to see where you go with this!

[@RoadsOptional]

Thanks! We’re stoked to see where it takes us this year!

[@Aldekein]

Good luck man! This is a great car and you have nice attitude to it, so keep going!

[@ml989]

Mine has 255k miles on it and drives like new. No lights on the dash. Have fun out there guys!

[@RoadsOptional]

Love hearing about the 250k+ mile GX’s still being used and loved! Thanks!

[@Wepen935k]

Here for the GX content

[@RoadsOptional]

There's a ton planned!

[@lucassachs1270]

randomly got this video cause i’ve been watching new gx reviews. i like your style! would suggest more cuts and pauses though it would help get rid of the umms… i subbed!

[@formula2tom225]

nice start, not sure why but u remind me of jay leno and yea thats a compliment..

[@RoadsOptional]

Jay Leno is my all time favorite late night tv host, that’s a huge compliment 😂

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

Jay Leno wishes he had that flannel

[@TillerMicroSkiffs]

❤the content, my 2004 gx470 has the l driverside rear seat removed and use a tensioned sleeping cot. A Coleman geill and a 12v fridge round out my overlanding setup 😂😂😂

[@RoadsOptional]

Thanks! Sometimes the simplest setups are the best 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@TillerMicroSkiffs]

@RoadsOptional I love the theory of take it slow and get it all eventually, not all at once like you all were sayin!!! You got a sub here! Looking forward to the infotainment part!!!

[@deadmoney441]

Any rubbing with the 255s and TRD OR wheels?

[@RoadsOptional]

None that required any cutting!
