First of all, this is easily the cleanest GX I’ve seen and I’ve seen a ton of them now since I’m shopping these for my next build. Perfectly tasteful. Also, your videos are spot on with quality, not rambling, and great editing. Keep up the great work. You’re a benchmark in the GX community with your build, links and info. Well done.
Great mods! I have the same vehicle without mods…finally just got my side-steps off and it looks better with clearance…I like that front black grill/light/winch setup. Decent!
aw brother once you finalize and start production on that bumper mark me down for one!! i def need that setup on my rig!! perfection!! if u want a production development rig and test vehicle over in these east coast conditions keep me in mind im always overlanding taking the rig out, im actually going to start putting my mavic zoom and hero8 to use and start creating some awesome youtube content!! im loving those black headlights for the gx man u could make some killer money if u wanted to do a couple i have a couple buddies that would def be interested in doing something like that!! but anyways stay safe and keep that in mind i do have a powder coating guy so i could handle that but i would love to help develop some step out sliders and mayb an ez to install ladder rack to get up to the top of these rigs.. keep me in mind brother i have a ton of ideas and seems like we both have the rigs to get the job done but developing some new parts for these babies would definitely be a huge money maker for the both of us!! keep it in mind the money will not lie!! take care -peter
Looks like had to do a body mount chop even with the -38 offfset wheels to get the 35 inch tires to work? What exact size is this Mickey Thompson tire? Thanks1
Just got me a 470. Amazing build. I been trying to find some smoke headlights but I can't find any options for the 470. Did you make or buy your headlights?
Hey Logan...Not sure if you'll see this message but here it goes. I'm building a 2004 GX470. I have a fabricator here on Vancouver Island and asked him to build me your bumper. Do you have drawings to share or is there something you would do different with the bumper? Jan 2025 she goes in for the lift, exhaust wheels and Mickey T's. Feb is bumper build and sliders. Any tips would be appreciated.
Is there a reason you went with a -38 offset? i'm about to do my gx and was wondering if you had any insight before i started. I already ordered my wheels (black rhino sandstorm 17x8.5 0 offset) they also have a -22 offset available. I also am going to rock 35's and will be going with Kanati trail hog 35x12.5R17LT. Suspension- i am going with ironman 3" front and 2" rear with spc upper control arms and air bag delete kit. bumper has also been ordered through red dog as well as body chop weld plates. I Just wanted to check with someone who has already done one before i get going. Thanks
That sounds like a good plan! I just went with -38 for the looks and because it helps keep stuff away from the body of the vehicle since the tires are the furthest thing out.
They are not unfortunately, I would get a bumper from Lil B's Fabrication or Coastal off-road but you need to weld that bumper together yourself or find someone.
Awesome and thank you! I had a muffler shop cut off the factory muffler and just weld in a straight pipe, still super quiet on startup which is nice and not obnoxious in my opinion.
sick man. i found your sight. It looks nice. I am currently building my 97 honda civic, fully built b18 turbo, 5 lug itr swap. Then as soon as that is done my fzj 80 goes in for the ls3 swap. And when that is done I am going to sell it and buy a gx470. Then I will for sure be looking at your bumper. Very cool.
Not really an off-road rig question, but have you ever considered upgrading the stereo to get CarPlay or Android Auto working? I haven't found a solid solution yet, but you seem to know what you're doing. Great videos! I like the latest with the boom camera setup ... and can't beat watching you pull out a bus on a wintery day. Jealous of that Western Canadian wilderness compared to Southern Ontario suburbia. Keep that stick on the ice!
Thank you! I think this is the best option out there and it was just updated, there was also a group buy I saw recently on the 'gxor' Facebook group. Not cheap though for us Canadians! gromaudio.com/store/vline/lexus-2006-2009-vline-carplay-android-auto-infotainment-system-navigation-upgrade.html
Stop making GX videos!!! making it harder for us peasants to afford one with the Market so hot on GX...especially in California!!! Love the rig I've been looking to upgrade my 4Runner to a GX470. I notice the lack of power in the V6 when out and about loaded down when going up long grades etc...I also like the "manual" transfer case over the on the fly versions (buttons/dials).

Thanks you for the kind words, much appreciated!
Love your build! I just jumped over to the GX family a few weeks ago with an 06. Super excited about the possibilities.
Your rig and that front bumper are what made me want a gx470 over a new 4Runner for when I return to the states. Awesome and looks mean for the road
Great mods! I have the same vehicle without mods…finally just got my side-steps off and it looks better with clearance…I like that front black grill/light/winch setup. Decent!
Typically not a bumper fan on the GX but that looks fantastic!!
Thanks!
This is sweet dude! It looks so good on the GX
Thanks man!
Huge fan of the great filming and the well thought out GX that gets used hard. Any way you could share you settings you chose on the spc ucas?
Id love one of the bumpers made for my gen 1 sequoia!
Awesome build, looking for a gx470 currently!
Thanks!
Nice rig man .. thank you for this video!!💪🏽👌🏽
Is Red Dog Fab not producing these front bumpers any more? This is, by far, the best and cleanest looking front bumper the the GX470!!
Hey Logan, fantastic GX 470 you have there. what year is it???
Best looking GX470 and best looking FJ imo. How much does the bumper weigh?
Solid designs. Well done.
Logan Great Job !! need weight and dimensions of shipping on both bumpers so i can quote shipping to Caribbean island .Thanks
What's the difference in fuel consumption between FJ and GX? I know one is V6 and other V8. Would be interesting to know.
They are pretty close, on 35’s with no regear I get about 12mpg combined and my buddy gets around 14mpg
@@LoganKingMedia Thanks. Like your videos. Greetings from South Africa.
aw brother once you finalize and start production on that bumper mark me down for one!! i def need that setup on my rig!! perfection!! if u want a production development rig and test vehicle over in these east coast conditions keep me in mind im always overlanding taking the rig out, im actually going to start putting my mavic zoom and hero8 to use and start creating some awesome youtube content!! im loving those black headlights for the gx man u could make some killer money if u wanted to do a couple i have a couple buddies that would def be interested in doing something like that!!
but anyways stay safe and keep that in mind i do have a powder coating guy so i could handle that but i would love to help develop some step out sliders and mayb an ez to install ladder rack to get up to the top of these rigs.. keep me in mind brother i have a ton of ideas and seems like we both have the rigs to get the job done but developing some new parts for these babies would definitely be a huge money maker for the both of us!! keep it in mind the money will not lie!! take care

Amazing, can't wait to get mine!! Thanks for the awesome video.
Thanks! You will love it!

Found your build through the FB GXOR page, absolutely incredible build. Did you have to regear to run 35’s?
If you don’t regear with 35’s it’ll be super annoying. You’ll be constantly hunting for gears and rpms will feel off
One of his videos he says he didn’t regear and doesn’t think it needs it.
Just got me a 470. Amazing build. I been trying to find some smoke headlights but I can't find any options for the 470. Did you make or buy your headlights?
What happened with the bumper production red dog site is inactive? I would like to purchase or take my time to weld my own bumper.
Bad ass rigs, I want to make mine like yours.
Website is no longer up. Is the bumper not sold anymore
Bumper link not working.
When will they be available?
What are the negatives that you've experienced for not regearing for 35s?
Loving all your video
the fab website doesnt work mate where can I find the lexus bumper
Did you install extended bump stops to limit the uptravel of those tires to avoid it eating the top of the wheel well / fenders?
I wonder if bumper that close to the body are useful in animal strikes.
Very cool GX👏🏼
how did u finish the bumper? was it powder coated or was it bed liner?
Good job and the website is neat too.
What happened to the Red Dog Shopify?

The Shopify website is down. Are these bumpers still for sale?
No unfortunately I think they went out of business
If we have a metal bumper can we pass the inspection? I'm just wondering what would the result in front collision?

@@LoganKingMedia ended ordering -47 offset black rhino raze. Looks amazing! love what you have done! cant wait to see what you do next.
What is the suspension set up and tires
The bumper are they only for the GX and Fj? I have a 1st gen sequoia and would love to have that type of bumper on my rig
Yeah only for those two right now, be sure to follow red dog fabrication on insta for updates though
Anyone know if the company that makes this bumper is still around? The link in the description doesn’t work 😔
They are not unfortunately, I would get a bumper from Lil B's Fabrication or Coastal off-road but you need to weld that bumper together yourself or find someone.
Where’d you order the trd grille badge from?
Hello Patrick here I have a 2005 GX470 with KDSS and really like what you have done! Whats the Exhaust system you used? Thanks
Awesome and thank you! I had a muffler shop cut off the factory muffler and just weld in a straight pipe, still super quiet on startup which is nice and not obnoxious in my opinion.
@@LoganKingMedia Thanks
@@LoganKingMedia might do the same for my 3.4 L tacoma then what's in that gx for an engine ?
this is dope! how easy was it to install? Any major cutting?
Awesome rig!!!! I'm getting a bumper soon. How did you mount the fog lights to the bumper
Thanks!! This bumper has mounting plates to bolt the lights to luckily
@@LoganKingMedia ok thanks. Great Rig again!!! Love the drawer build too. Im building a 1st sequoia too wish there was a bumper like yours for it.
Where can I buy that bumper???
red-dog-fabrication.myshopify.com/
you sell those bumpers?
Great question!
Would love that bumper for the older gen GX460
Whoa, good job! GX470 is a nice choice. 2UZ - my dream =)
Thank you!
Can you make a build list? When I get a gx definitely ordering that bumper
Going to do a walk around video going over everything in the next few days!
Really hoping the “YO” was inspired by Toy Story. Nice vid!
Something I have never seen is someone paint matching custom front bumpers, you should do this.
I thought about maybe doing my sliders white next to see how I like it!
Sick ride! What are the lights in the grill?
Thanks! They are trailer marker lights I custom mounted and wired in.
Solid video!!
What lights do you have with the front bumper?
Those were from Speed Demon Lights
Someone should make those headlights commercially available. Take my money!
Look up BXBuilt he retrofits oem headlights and makes both projectors work as low and high beams
@@JMacTrades ouch, $1250, the most expensive light he sells. Well, maybe some day.
Did you remove the air suspension?
Yes, it has the full lift kit from Eibach
Awesome. What brand and size lift are you running?
Eibach lift, it is 2.7” front 2.2” rear.
@@LoganKingMedia sweet thank you. Did you have to regear?
@@BarracudaBud no, with the torque of the V8 and having a light wheels and tire setup I didn’t feel the need to.
@@LoganKingMedia awesome! Thank you
More GX vids!!!
More coming soon!

I know it doesn’t really matter but what kind of gas mileage are you seeing?
13mpg combined city and highway
Pulse setting definitely not needed to weld that bumper lol. 170 amps and let'er fly.
👏👏👏👏
you didnt have to do a body chop to fit the 35's? just trimming? I have 32's on my gx right now and im looking to upgrade next time i need tires.
Yes I did the bmc back when I was running 33’s and no lift.

I went with a 10.5in Phoenix touchscreen. It's worked flawlessly for 3 years. Basically, it's an android tablet.
Does look nice
which suspension package do you use?!?!?!
Precioso coche.
