Filmed With: -GoPro: amzn.to/3mhJQ71 -DJI Mavic Air 2: amzn.to/3mkby2X I took the GX470 on dishpan springs to see if it could keep up with the jeeps. It didn't make it out unscathed but I was able to drive home afterward.
I think he got a lot more help than what was recorded. That's 7 out of 10 trail. Lexus is a basic snow ride on pavement. But pretty impressive driving where jeeps thrive.
Rose awesome videos man what rims do you have I wanna get the same ones for my GX also I’m still on the stock suspension, keeping it till it breaks and I’ll upgrade whats the largest size tire you recommend on stock suspension? Thanks man!
Awesome, thanks for upload.. Just got an 07 GX. I'm curious, at 15:00 doesn't look like your ATRAC was working. Does it? I've seen it engage in other vids and you can see the brake modulate. Or did I miss you explain that somewhere? I'm anxious to get a wheel in the air to see how it feels.
You are correct, this was driver error (me). ATRAC only works in first gear... I didn't know this until after I drove this trail. I probably could have climbed that obstacle without the winch had I known this. My FJ cruiser made it up there no problem without the winch. Enjoy your gx!
Quick question, were you running with center diff locked? It did not seem Atrac tried to kick in. I have found Atrac more active with center diff unlocked. Just my experience i know its 50/50 with people saying lock center diff while climbing, I only lock the center diff during loose sand, or mud when I need higher RPM and wheel speed to get me through stuff. I have tried climbing the same sketchy section with diff locked and found it way more difficult versus unlocked center diff. Same climb center diff locked resulted in more wheel spin and Atrac not adding me.
It’s always been open for me even when people say it’s closed. I come in through pinnacles staging area from arrowhead. I am not familiar with the entrance bypass
Gx460 fan with a 3” on 34” with a winch. Curious why you popped the hood before winching? Can you not get to the freespool lever? cut a couple of the plastic grill fins and you should be able to get your hand in there.
Sometimes people will winch with the hood up to protect the windshield in case the winch breaks. It could also be because of the freespool lever though.
great video, and way to use the GX! I have a GX on 33's as well (sliders on order). I enjoy the WTF looks you get on the trail when you wheel a lexus :D
THANK YOU for at least calling it a TRUCK-- (makes me want to slap the snot out of people when the call them CARS...lke your other video).. ha. GREAT JOB though.
Tell your spotter to use "Driver" and "passenger" -- not " this way or that way..-- you don't need to be taking eyes off what you're doing to see which way he's pointing..
On the one hand, it's like lol weeny Cali bois and thier their trail ratings. But then in the other it's like, damn, those trail ratings. Great lakes signs are like "
