- In today's video, we discover whether a #lexus #gx470 on 35 inch tires with #lockers can make it up the #gatekeeper at Gold Mountain trail in Big Bear, CA. My bro @jonnytacooutdoors also came along in his Toyota Tacoma 4x4 build on 35s as well. It was really cool to see how the different builds performed on this obstacle. There is a 17” difference in wheelbase and the Tacoma is a few inches wider track width as well. This obstacle turned away some big tire #Jeep s ahead of us so I can’t believe we were able to do it.

Hey guys, let me know if you prefer this format where I let the video clips roll a bit longer, or if you prefer the “snappy” edits.
Awesome video!!!
Great job, wish we could join 😀
I really have to do a meet up with subscribers one day.
great video. Definitely a spotter trail... we made it up the first waterfall with a stock height GX460... lol.. on the second waterfall I saw nothing but blue sky... flying blind... definetly a spotter trail 😃
100% a spotter trail lol
@Lexus Off-Road Adventures lol... so true... the TH-cam videos all made this trail look "flat"... but i got there and LOLd... but looks like you made it all the way through with spotters 😃... I only made it to second waterfall solo 😢 again great job ❤️ and skillz

@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD yeah camera never does the trail justice, thanks for watching!!
Nice! 🤘
I think you would’ve made it with the right line. I made it up in the mud as well on 35s. Far right is the only way.
100%
I did make it up though lol
did you lose the KDSS when you added the 3ple lock/lift? to the GX?
My GX is non-KDSS
Bro when did this come out ?
Last Sunday bro
@@lexus_offroad_adventures dang bro watching now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Are you running your 488s here? Those rigs look amazing.
Yep!
That Tacoma sure does look amazing
What head unit do you have in your gx?

I had the Phoenix automotive unit in mine, and I took it out because one the sound was crap and it was clunky as hell. Wasted $800 bucks. I have the Mark Levinson and for a stock 15yrs system it was quite good until I got stuck in a water hole in northern Ontario Canada. I’m sooo glad I fitted a snorkel or I would of hydro-locked motor.
@@Fremlin snorkel is coming soon for me! Glad you had one. I will be trying out the Phoenix Android 12 unit when it comes out. Hopefully better than the last. Others have said that the “Sergey firmware” which is an aftermarket software add-on, helped the performance of the android 10 unit a lot. Hopefully there are some improvements in the new generation, I can’t wait to find out.
What is your trail camera setup with the rear view display at 0:48?
I’ve been hunting google all day trying to find something like that!!

The dashcam mirror is great and can be used as a trail cam. I linked my head unit trail cam solution here
@@lexus_offroad_adventures thanks! That’s what I thought you were doing, keeping the stock rear camera and using the auxiliary camera with the mirror kit as a trail cam. That’s what I’ll be doing with mine most certainly.
Or I’ll get a legit 360 camera setup with its own display. But I’d like to cut down on extra displays, having already a carpuride, scan gauge, phone mount on the dash.
@@lexus_offroad_adventures also, do you have a link to the rear view mirror camera setup?

It’s the G900
Haha people chipped in cuz I suck at spotting?
Yes
Man cool rigs but this was really hard to watch. You all need some serious work on your spotter skills to keep those rigs moving and not getting beat up. Both vehicles could have easily made that with good spotting.
Both rigs ended up making it 😉
@@lexus_offroad_adventures Right but the struggle was real lets be honest. Regardless amazing rigs. I'm building a 2003 GX470 as we speak. Also still enjoyed the video and will watch for more.
Right on, thanks for watching!!
