@SalsaRed is right about the motor. I too wish I could get the Prado 150 diesel but I should be grateful to have the solid V8 that it does have, it along with the 6-speed transmission are huge upgrades over the 4Runner. The hardest part about owning this truck is trying to keep myself from building it even bigger than I need it to be simply because I can haha. Great stuff, would love to see a follow up to this down the road, maybe a video touching on mods owners regret or what would they have done differently if they could go back in time. I know I already wish I could have done some things differently on mine.
@CoastalGX
@CoastalGX 3 года назад

@texlee1640
@texlee1640 3 года назад
@@CoastalGX My Ironman FCP's were suggested to be set quite low from the factory, I had to go back twice and adjust preload to get the desired height. Unfortunately it has somewhat adversely effected the ride quality up front in comparison to how it rode initially. While I like the quality of the kit overall, I think I'll eventually be moving to an extended or long travel setup instead in the future. Bigger meats are always enticing but they come with drawbacks and you usually have to change/mod/upgrade three other things in order to make way for the one, lol.
@CoastalGX
@CoastalGX 3 года назад
Tex Lee did you gain more lift after the adjustment? Do you think I might benefit from that? I still get some rubbing and I feel like I need to do something about this.
@texlee1640
@texlee1640 3 года назад
@@CoastalGX I definitely gained more clearance above the tire in the front after adjusting the preload. I did it more for look and balance than clearance. I have a BMC and decent trimming in the front along with the bumper which also helps. I haven't had any rubbing with 285/70's on -10mm wheels. When I make the jump to 285/75's it's very likely that I will have some rubbing. What size tires are you running?

I just got rid of a 07 JKUR, and bought a GX460. I was going to do a LS swap with a 6 speed... Getting a GX460 was actually a cheaper option. They're both about the same size, but the GX is MUCH more comfortable for road trips, and more than capable for what I'm going to be doing. With regard to the fuel mileage- Honestly, it's about the same as the JKUR. But it's with a V8 and a 6 speed. Now I'm excited to go on road trips and such.

Had a super clean one owner (we were the second owners) 04 470 a few years back. 75,000 mi. Transfer case actuator seal was faulty/leaking on that year. 700 bucks to have the transfer case dropped and seal replaced. After that, car was amazing. 600 bucks to do timing belt, water pump plugs and wires at 95k. Sold it and picked up a clean 2010 460 w/ 95k. Overall, the 460 is nicer, but the 470 was superb in its own right. Slightly dated as opposed to the 460, but in hindsight, we would keep the 470 instead of moving on to the 460. If you can find a clean 470 specimen, jump on it! Just beware of the transfer case seal on earlier models.

Awesome video. Some really cool stuff. Never thought a GX could be modified so well. I have a few questions: when lifting, how does that interfere with the factory hydraulic lifting mechanism (high, neutral, low). Also have u guys installed front n rear lockers (and cost pls). How does GX perform in snow?
@CoastalGX
@CoastalGX 3 года назад
Hi there; the GX has an airbag option. The hydraulic system is probably the KDSS and all you need to do is take a couple of steps in turning the screws on the kdss system before and after the lift install. I haven’t looked into getting lockers, but I imagine they cost a pretty penny. I barely had the chance to drive it in some snow a few weeks ago and it performed very well. Join the GXOR Facebook page and you’ll find just about anything topic related. Thanks for commenting!
@marcochavanne
@marcochavanne 2 года назад
They don’t really need lockers unless you’re in nasty stuff. ATRAC is amazing. I’ve had double locked rigs but got over a few tough obstacles today in low with the center diff unlocked just using ATRAC. Work even with tires up in the air. Stick below 2.5” of lift to use the KDSS system. Treaty Oak Offroad has KDSS spacers to level the bar post lift and prevents KDSS lean. I am a big fan of the air bags. Airbag Man in Australia makes 2”’lift bags for the rear. Rear shocks are fine to retain. Slap some Dobinsons +2” front struts on and you’re set.

The 470 is the older model and therefore has more outdated features. It also has a timing belt instead of a chain so less maintenance on the 460 there. The 470 weighs less by 300lbs but has less power than a 460. The 460 comes standard with KDSS where the 470 had it as an option. Both are great vehicles, but my choice was the 2010-2013 GX460 body style. Sandy, my ride, is a 2012 and only has 68k miles right now. It also has cooled and heated seats and reverse camera. Power third row. It’s right for me so I hope you find the right fit for you. 🎥🎬

@@CoastalGX Thank you! I am in the Dallas area so you guys were "tooo" far away. I have a 96 Jeep Cherokee that we have built to the max and its fun on the trails but not really fun for much else out side of that. I have a 2020 Raptor as my daily and wouldn't want to get it out on the trails... I do like the idea of heated and cooled seats and all of the nice luxury features in a GX. How big can you go with the tires before you have to worry about the front half shafts and the rear axle. Once you have the clearance worked out.

@@Captain-Awesome sounds like a fun XJ! I have 33.8” tires on mine and we had to do some chopping even though we installed a 2-3” suspension lift. I’d say these things are happy right at 33” or slightly under. Many GX470’s roll with 35’s but I honestly don’t know why it’s more commonly found with 470’s. My ride is also my daily so I pushed it as far as I thought was rational and didn’t sacrifice road noise or the ride.

Let’s see…let’s do some quick maths. Spare: 60lbs Tent: 30lbs Propane: 40lbs Two full jerrycans: 80lbs Awning: 30lbs Rod tube w/rods: 15lbs Recovery boards: 8lbs Frontrunner 11gallon full water tank: 80lbs Tackle box: 10lbs TOTAL: 353lbs Static Weight limit: 660lbs Dynamic weight limit: 300lbs The trip to the beach slightly exceeded dynamic weight limits, but let’s face it, there ain’t no crazy maneuvers going on here. The static is a hefty 660lbs so no issues there. So here’s an update! I now have the spare on my Dobinsons rear bumper along with two jerrycans so that issue is resolved. The roof rack is a Frontrunner slimline 2.

Not a 4 cylinder diesel? A Cummins 3.9 4 cylinder with a turbo could provide all the power you need. And there’s lots of those running around in other vehicles so they are easy to find and not too expensive.

The GX’s are also known as Toyota Land Cruiser Prado’s in other markets. They do offer a 3 litre turbo diesel. Only v8 gasoline engine in the US though.

GX over a 4Runner?
@CoastalGX
@CoastalGX 2 месяца назад
That’s a personal choice, but I feel there’s more bang for the buck with a GX. The v8 power is smooth too.
