Great video Chris! I'm so glad that the Black Bear is working out so well for your adventuring desires! Also, yes I got a little misty eyed seeing the gorgeous views, seriously the mountains in Arizona are so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing as always! ❤️
Also i like this series youre coming up with, its genuinely interesting to see what you're building up! Notifications are on, can't wait to see what you cook up
I really enjoy your budget builds. I plan on some time soon looking into my own budget off- road vehicle and you have given some great ideas and insight on how to go about it. Loving the vids.
Very informative video Chris, love the solid overview of suspension/wheel upgrades and how it performs on the trail. I too have JKU Rubicon, but been thinking about a second more comfortable vehicle to do longer road trips with the wifey.
I just bought today a Lexus Gx470 and I am loving it, I am glad I got to your videos. I just came back to the states after 15 years in the middle east, I had so much fun off roading in UAE and Oman. Want to do the same here now that I am back. You video is deffo going to give me good ideas.
I just bought my first Prado 120 4.0 V6 with full spec 2005. Air suspension and KDSS...great off road car and for long distance also. I sold my 2014 Kizashi over for 9 years older Land Cruiser was the best decision. The prices of LC 120 are sky rocketing in Europe, so in 3-5 years I wont be losing a single cent invested if I decide to sell it. 👌
Awesome! GX looks great and appears to perform beautifully! We’re still debating on the all-terrain tires for the Jeep, Falcon, Cooper...who knows. I like the roof crossbars they’re nice and sleek. Video turned out great and the vehicle is great! By the way, the wood trim, is actually wood, but they tinker with it to give it a different look and strength.
I ended up with a jeep grand cherokee, but because of you... I was searching hard for that lexus and similar ones lol. Timing just didn't work out for that. So far I'm happy. No off roading yet though.
Much quieter then the Jeep Chris. We can hear you talk a lot better, LOL. Looks like everything handled well. hope you and Neils can get together and do some adventures soon.
Great video Chris I would like to ride an easy track up on the mountains with my family with my gx Do you have any suggestions where to go and shoot a footage? I appreciate you Thank you 🙏
Just found your channel and really enjoying it. I just bought a 40 ac property off of arizona rd in Ash fork. Its a pretty bumpy ride into the property on arizona rd. I just bought a 2009 lexus gx 470 hoping it will be better suited for the drive in and out when i finally move there. Right now I have stock suspension on my gx 470. How would you compare the stock ride with a bit of speed over a straight rocky arizona roads compared with the new suspension you have added . Ive been told the stock suspension with the air bags is a pretty smooth ride. Hoping i can do the front and back shocks as you but keep the air bags for the towing.
asking here as i dont know if you guys read comments on your yaw channel. are the items from your merchandise store shipped from the US and are there extra charges on top of shipping when it crosses the boarder like duties?
Hey Chris, awesome looking Gx!! Some people seem to be concerned about running a 33” tire on the 7” wide trd pro rims. Do you have any concerns about them? Asking bc I want to run the same setup you’ve got!! Thanks!
I have these tires with the same rims. 285/70/17. They will fit but you need to do some modifications. Trim the fender liner. They also rub on full lock turn. That bothered me so ended up getting a body mount chop. And hammering some of the pinch welds.
Mr.Chis I’m a huge fan of yours nothing awesomeness. I have a gx470 and I want 5160 but when ever I look at the toyota specific 5160 the reservoir looks a lot smaller than other 5160s out there. I was wondering how big it is on your gx?
Great video. if i get a 470 ill probably use some of your ideas as a template for one i get. i have not decided if i would get a 460 but those come with kdss and i dont think i want that feature.
What other old good reliable car good you buy other than the land cruiser and Lexus. I would love to buy one but they’re pretty rare in the condition and price you found yours,, have you ever looked into 97 or 05 grand Cherokees ??
Chris, can you tell me what your GX measured out at for overall height? I've been thinking about building a GX but would like to park in my garage, which is 7ft high.
Pretty cool. What size engine? Is the 6 powerful enough or should i look for and 8? I have a 4 dr Jeep but also would like GX to build for overlanding. Thanks!
I didn’t hear a cost break down? Since it’s a budget build I’d like to hear what you paid for the 470, as well as how much you’ve invested in it with the up grades. Thanks man!
only thing for the budget build video, i would of liked a bit more elbow grease in it, see parts coming out and new parts going in. need a split cam of over hood and under front bumper give it some more depth.
Im only guessing but because of the tyres would the ride be unsuitable or not really suited for roads, so it wouldn't be a everyday drive ? So how much time and effort to change tyres if need be ?
Hey there, random question: does your shifter actually stay in place when dropped down to L position? Mine will engage the shift but the knob does not stay in place like in our LX. It just pulls back to the left (2) position.
There's a little metal pin and spring held inside of a plastic housing/sheath. That plastic is likely broken/split. Does it also not stay in 4 and push itself back to D? If this is the case, you can try putting a tiny hose clamp around the plastic housing after putting it all back together (the pin sometimes falls out when this happens, might have to hunt for it).
@@kylebacc That was precisely the issue. I dug in a few weeks ago and found that it had popped out. I created a custom pin and spring. I'm in the process of getting a bulk order made for others to purchase :)
That’s an AWD vehicle. Always in “4wheel drive “ with 70/30 split until you hit center diff lock then does 50/50 torque split . Transfer case has 4 lo to gear down . It uses ATRAC which computer controls wheel slippage via brakes to send power to wheel with traction .
