I’m leaving to Cali from rust belt Minnesota in a couple months to find myself a nice GX or LX 470 and a sc430. Still not 100% which I want to get. My aunt that lives out there has the sequoia, uncle has a 80s 4 runner, brother a 2021 Tacoma and my ex GF got a 05 gx470 because I turned her onto them. I’ve always loved Toyota/Lexus. I’ve bought and sold cars on the side since before I had my license and out of the 150+ cars I’ve owned in some capacity Toyota/Lexus never let me down in a major way. The only other cars I know I can rely are the old Buicks with the 3800 and Volvos (which I’ve owned many) with the B series engines. When it comes to SUVs though Toyota hands down.
What wheels and tire specs please? I want those rims on a 285/70 R17 tires without rubbing the original upper arm without tires sticking out the Fenders. Maybe a +5mm offset?
@@chasechapman4689 sorry to bother but do you think it will clear an original UCA? And how much clearance from de UCA to the tire do you have in MILLIMITERS APPROXIMATELY? Thanks in advance.
@@CristianAPrimoATM the amount of clearance from UCA I really don’t know. My understanding is if you do anything over 2.5” lift you’ll need aftermarket UCA’s.
I have one, same color, same year, mechanical A1. I have loaded it with up to 25 sheets of 8mm plywood in the luggage rack. I load it with up to 5 sticks of firewood inside. This 4runner is a beast. Greeting from Patagonia Chile.
Kinda high at 22 but that was on purpose to split the difference as I was on highway and on trail off again on again all weekend. Didn’t want the hassle of going up and down 3-4 times a day. It suffices just fine.
Love the verhicle. I bought a low mileage one recently and will save your video. Are your alloys OEM 4runner or aftermarket? Also, do you have spacers?
Thanks! The wheels are OEM 4Runner that I bought from the dealer. And I have no spacers as this wheel provides enough offset to clear my UCA’s. One of the benefits to this wheel as most stock Toyota wheels would not clear my UCA’s and would require spacers.
Thanks man! Poison spider is my favorite trail for sure. And no worries on hells gate. Shit happens. I walked away with as little collateral damage as possible. Lesson learned.
Very nice. I own a 08 GX470. I bought mine about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it. Your GX looks great. I really want to lift mine and do some things, but with a large family(6 kids) to support, it's gonna have to wait. How much was your lift to install?
It’s just extremely scratched up. But it’s held up just fine. Can’t justify $2000 all in for a bumper. Just can’t do it. I wheel it. I have fun. I don’t worry about the scratches.
@slowazzes1972 you shouldn't need any trimming woth that size. Wheel offset will change things. I run 295/70r17 stock wheels and I rub on the plastic liner in the fenders
@@chasechapman4689 thank you. Rear locker right? I have the opportunity to buy either t4r with rear or another t4r with a center diff lock. Trying to decide…
Lmfao. “Excuse the fighters jets”. Tell me you’re in the military, without telling me you’re in the military! I get the same sound down here at Lackland…… Love it😂 also, badass rig
Haha I actually don’t work in the military but just live by the air force base. I definitely love watching the variety of jets and airplanes flying over my house. We got a Thunderbirds show front and center directly over my head last month. Thanks for watching!
We could get hung up on the semantics or we could acknowledge this is the J120 platform from Toyota which is the same platform as the FJ Cruiser, 4Runner and Land Cruiser Prado. Literally the difference is L badges instead of Toyota badges.
