The funny thing that after all the mods done here and the "offroad trail" it was taken to... a Stock GX460 could follow behind it with no issues lol!
You’re just getting started with that Lexus. There’s a reason why they have won the Baja Rally 7 years in a row.
It's pretty much a Land Cruiser as well
@@rubenbraekman4515 If only we got the it's LC Prado cousin with the turbo diesel
The closest thing to offroading i see around my city that these lexus do is accidentally drive on a curb 😂😂😂
Uncle Piston lmfao
Our lives off-road!
Yup, my mom wont even take it in the grass in the yard, but me amd my old man took it innthe feild once, its pretty decent in the mud. Our excuse was "nessisary" to rescuse the 66cj5 that sunk in the mud with bald tires.
@@chickensfloat7427 good excuse...lol.
So glad I purchased my GX460 in November. With you guys doing a series on it something tells me prices are about to skyrocket in the used market!!!! Can’t wait to see more! Especially excited about the Kaymar bumper and long range fuel tank!
You called it
Looks great Sarah, the new tires really stepped up the game👍
can you let us know the wheel/tire package that's shown here on your GX 460?
Can't wait for the next vid! Love GX perfect for overlanding! Love it since 120 series gx/Prado!
So, I'm not crazy. I've been eyeing that truck for about a year now. That's a great truck! I'm going love watching this build.
Is funny I knew it looked familiar, specially from the back, I've seen so many land cruiser specially the Prado in Nicaragua and when I see this vehicle on the streets and highways in Maryland i was trying to figure out why it looked very familiar, she confirmed my suspicions. Is a Prado.
Beautiful family! Thank you for the video.
Bravo! Tastefully done... almost makes me want to sell the LX and get a GX.
We went and bought a 2011 last night because of this video. We drove the 4runner and the gx460 and liked the 460 a lot better. Thanks for the great videos. Money we will see you out overlanding one day.
Awesome! Congrats! Yes, seeya out there!
Yay! Congratulations! Looking forward to watching the build.
Congrats on the new rig. Love your vids. Kinda was hoping you guys would get an old Wagoner to travel the country in. Looking forward to watching the new season. Thanks again for letting us all see what you see,
That is perfection IMHO. Love my 4Runner.... but wow. Happy for you.
*Update on the PepBoys involvement. They are no longer pursing the overland market and so they are longer involved in this build.
Lifestyle Overland wxx
Nothing from ICON currently listed on Pepboy's website. Any additional information you have would be appreciated seeing as Pepboys doesn't seem keen on providing information or online purchasing options for offroad/overlanding equipment.
@@moustache6622 It's coming. That's why I said stay tuned ;)
This is a Lexus version of Prado, it's always been a soccer mom's car for years in New Zealand(and Austrilia), I know dozen of mom who drive Prado, but kept in un-mods, I think this model will be released soon to rest of the world...in deisel😎
haha I watched this video... and called them today trying to order my suspension :P hurry!
We bought a white GX460 last month as my winter car and (future) mild off roading. My 6 year old girl walked in while watching your premiere and was blown away to see "our car" driving in the grass and mud through the woods. What a great introduction for her! She wants to watch more with me later and will be excited to see your daughter on there.
That's a great looking vehicle! I almost got the older body style GX460 before finding the 4Runner.
A full replacement front bumper will be sweet on this thing.
Yep! ARB front bumper inbound from Pep Boys next... But first sand blasting for new powder coat color, then install...
@@LifestyleOverland Are you going to paint it to match the color of the rig?
Lol ya would be sweet if you could afford this suv and then be able to afford the 3k bumper
@@Bigjobrob We've got some color ideas ;)
Lifestyle Overland Wonder what it’d look like with a front bumper with winch?🤔
Omg I can't wait to watch the future build on this!!! Epic!
Thanks!
Thank you. I’m starting my 2013 GX build just a few miles south of Nashville. I bought it over a year ago for the same reasons, and I’ve driven it long enough to be supremely confident in it of road. I just found you guys today, so I’ll be tuning in. Maybe I’ll see you on the trail. I’ll be the other white GX.
This is a great build.. can’t wait to see the finished product! Will be following this carefully.
Honestly... there's probably more soccer mom's trying 4runners than GX's, lol
Only because its cheaper new. If all soccer mom's had a choice they'd be driving Lexuses and Range Rovers
@@Mutiny960 and g wagons
@@DiaperSNiFFER Not Soccer moms, those are reserved for the Trophy wives. No soccer mom would want to look like one of "those" women in front of all of her former Mean Girls friends at their kids playdate lol.
@@Mutiny960 facts my guy, you right champ
Why hate soccermoms? They got a taste tho no lie
Great video! I'm deciding between the GX and 4Runner, how is the MPG affected after the upgrade?
Love what I have seen thus far. I purchased a 2009 GX470 with the same thoughts in mind. I look forward to following your build.
To me I think all this time that Sarah was driving the 4Runner was leading into something great. This did not disappoint. I cant wait to see what Mrs. Lifestyle Overland can do. Fly Sarah Fly!
Use ceramic coating. So it will be easier to clean and windshield will stay super clear during rain! Beautiful vehicle!
Make more vids! 🙂 “Prah-do” not “pray-do” by the way
Will do! But... saying Praydo get so many more comments... 😂
Alright, is it prah-do, or prah-dough? 😁
It's called Toyota land cruiser Prado
Lifestyle Overland No turbo diesel for you if you keep saying it incorrectly.
i cringed when i heard this...Prado is spanish, should be pronounced as such.
Woot, way to go Sarah! Enjoy the new ride and excited to see the following build-up videos. Cheers from us all at Deadman Off-Road!
I can’t wait to see what you are thinking of in front. I would love to see a hidden winch and a bull bar. I love the quality of your videos and the humor that you bring. Thanks for the new project.
Wow! Nice start! Back in the Tennessee hills too! Love this. Magnaflow exhaust because... V8! Love the tire wheel combo. I came close to putting some muddies on my 5th Gen couple months ago but went with NItto Ridge Grapplers. So far so good (until I find a smokin deal on a GX😉) Did yours come from here in TN or AZ?
Nice rig! Can't wait for the build. Hopefully, a nice cat-back dual exhaust will be in the budget?
We want one really bad...
Too loud for overlanding imo
Sarah was majorly cheesing it this episode and for good reason. The wheels look amazing on this, even more so when they were posted on IG. Happy for you guys! I hope to see both Rigs at Overland Expo West this year.. :D
Awesome build! Thank you for sharing it with us!
These usually look stupid because of the oversized grill, but adding bigger tires makes it look really great. Never would have thought it, but now all the proportions look correct. Very cool!
5:00 Looks like another good tire harvest this year.
That smile said it all. Enjoy the new project. Looking forward to many videos of your new ride.
Wow I can't wait for that baby to be fully ready upgraded and hit the muds on roads, am happy thanks
for share the new baby in family fleet 😍😍😍👌😘
I bought my 2012 for $25k with only 48k miles. One owner car. It’s a beast.
Heck of a deal!!!
Lifestyle Overland nobody wanted it! I knew what I was buying though 😉
I will admit I saw this while randomly watching car reviews youtube sends me and ready to say "why are you taking a lexus off-road" but when I saw the tires on it, that made a convert out of me...
That thing looks AWESOME! That's my dream rig right there. Can't wait till I get one.
I put 200k miles on a 4Runner, then I bought an FJ in 2014 when they stopped selling them here (US) then a few months ago I bought a almost new GX460 so I can tell you the GX is lightyears beyond both the FJ and the 4Runner in terms of comfort as well as off-road prowess. It is just an absolute beast off-road and it's like riding in a Rolls Royce on road. I loved my 4R and my FJ but I'll never own either one again. It's Lexus only from here on out.
That scene when it pulled into the garage, 🔥 well done Cool production, cool rigs = subscribed
Edit: and I just got my 2020 4rnr trd off road two days ago and im in love with it
“Until turbo-diesels come available” - Cries in Toyota North America
theyre awful
kichaa13 I drove a v6 and v8 Toyota diesel overseas in a Fortuner and a 200 land cruiser and I loved them. Only downside I saw was the diesel always seems to spill when you’re fueling and that stuff if stinky. The low-end torque is the best part IMO
@leebog31 Looks like they do quality work but it doesn't make much sense financially to do a swap like that
Sean S wish they had a Lexus truck.
@@kichaa13 Clearly clueless.
Good looking rig! Excited to watch this build!
Badass ! That’s what I’m talkin about baby! I smell freedom in the air ! 🤙🏽
4:29 4runner in the reflection😍😍
The 4R is the Land Cruiser Prado.
Think the Ford Torino had the jump on the "Tuna sucking air" grill, lol.
She's got a beautiful face 😁 too bad bumpers will be covering it soon!
@@LifestyleOverland The front of this SUV has more Bling Grill than a BBQ at Montana's and a Rapper from the early 2000's flossing ...
Nice video, Love it. I just got one for my wife on x mas. 2017 GX460 luxury with sport package. 24000 miles one owner for less than $39k. Glad we got GX over 4 runner. Can't wait to see more of your video.
OMG ! What a beautiful car !!!
Great video ! 🦋💕🇨🇦
Also reminded us of driving our
4 Runner in Cape Hatteras on the Beach ! So much fun !
thank you for educating everyone on the legendary prado. it is a real shame that people seem to pass this off in the same category as a crossover SUV. I personally would take this over a 4 runner any day.
4Runner is identical Frame down. Both are land cruiser padros.
Opens rear gate to the side
Me: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?! Mind blown
Pretty cool, right? Personally I think I still prefer the gate hatch for rainy days, but we can make one awesome table for that door too...
#fjgang Lol
I hate that, I wish it had the land cruiser split or the 4Runner lift gate with the roll down window
@@jeremyjones5687 I agree! Mama Bear doesn't :D
Its a great feature for surfers like me. When the roof is loaded with longboards, you can easily open back door. SO CLUTCH!!
I just bought one of these and was already excited but this just gave me so much more inspiration!
This is why I’m planning on getting the GX as well... good video! Cheers...
Aside from the rear door, yes hands down.
"Lost my driver". Ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣
I love my 2003 GX 470. I can't wait to see the progress of the build and for it to get dirty.
Thanks so much. I also proud to have GX car recently
She looks sooo gooood!! Wow 🤩
Yeah!....and the Lexus is nice too! 😎
I still have 18 more years left on my gx460 Lexus told me that it last 25 years I own a 2012 right now have 63k miles
We just got a 2007 LX470 110k miles. We love it. We looked at Tacoma’s and 4 runners but we just couldn’t put our heads around the prices. Also land cruisers were pricy. Not to mention the conditions of the cars. People rode them hard. While we were researching and we found out about the LX and the GXs. We went with the LX due to size and recommendations we read at mud. Amazing vehicle. We absolutely love it.
Congratulations on the new ride! I have one of these on my long range plans once I don't need my pickup ;)
In the rest of the world is called a Toyota landcrusier Prado. Is much nicer than a 4runner.
They sell the Land cruiser in the US too. It's just $90,000 and way too expensive for anyone
Scottie Manners Scottie Manners LC Prado is different from LC, it's smaller for first, US market pretty much has parallel model to rest of the world, Tecoma to Hilux, 4runer to 4tuner, LC is the same over the world, but the gap to rest of the world is Tundra, and gap in US is no Prado, now this Lexus made US market fullfilled. Btw, rest of the world use deisel engines for all the models, Hilux, 4tuner, Prado shared a 2.8L turbo 4 banger, and V8 twin turbo deisel for LC.🤓
The 4runner with the Trd pro package is way cheaper than the landcruiser.
Gx460 and 4Runner are identical frame down. Both are Land Cruiser Prado. GX460 your paying for luxurious padro 4runner simplified prado.
Joshua' Madread not true. Saying the frame is the same doesn’t mean the car is the same. V8 vs V6.
Probably is, but costs a lot more and has more bells and whistles than the 4runner. But i love the 4runner look more.
4+ year old units are the same price as 4+ year old 4Runners 😁 That depreciation angle is steep out if the gate. 👍
Lifestyle Overland
That being said, opting for the Lexus is a steal!.
I'll be glued to this channel. I bought a 2017 new and I knew what it was. I built an FJ40 already. Planned for the wife to carry kids for 5 years, then mod the hell out of it. Just a couple of more years to go. Glad to see Metal Tech and others embrace this awesome generation of the next overland vehicles. Icon kit is definitely top of my list.
Love my GX! Toytec 2.5 installed so far. Wheels on the way, then bigger tires.
Hope you guys won’t raise the price of used GX market haha.
Since now more people know what it’s capable of
😂😂😂 Folks better hurry then!
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Wow. Just ridiculous how I thought about this.
If they didn't know until this video then were they ever really truly vehicle/ off-road enthusiasts?
Too late. The secret is out. Check out GXOR on FB, and Lexus even built an "Overlanding" concept for SEMA.
That soccer mom suv just won the Rebelle Rally
That's absolutely right! Though more credit goes to the skill of the navigator and driver 👍
OMG! The camera work is awesome ! Contents as well..Yo guys deserve more subscribers!
I love seeing full-size builds!!! Especially when it’s anything but a Suburban. Looks sweet y’all!
That 4.6L V8 is a proven million mile engine :)
It's a beast! Now... How to slip it into the 4Runner...
@@LifestyleOverland It is! Ohh... that would be another beast of its own.
I’ll keep my 4th gen with a v8 lol
Nice! Would love to build one of those too!
Hard to find them. So, definitely treasure your V8 4Runner.
I have the 4th gen 4Runner too... 4.7 V8 / FT 4WD / 7K towing. A little more HP and torque than this GX, but not by much. I have over 187K miles on mine and it still drives and rides like a dream. A note on these V8s... they have a timing belt that needs to be changed every 70-90k miles. I changed mine at around 120K, at the belt still looked like it can do a few more miles but, safety first. Your newer 4runner V6 has a timing chain which almost doesnt need to be changed. Congrats on your new (to you) GX460! Looking forward to seeing the upgrades. Best regards!
Y’all are awesome love y’all videos truly hope to hit a trail with y’all sometime keep it up an God bless
Also known as the GX470
This was satisfying as hell, subscribed!
Great option! I think is so underrated. This will be a great adventure!
looks like godzilla
huge
2 inches taller, 2 inches narrower, 2 inches shorter than a 4Runner 👍 LOVE it's profile and footprint.
4runner and GX share the same 150 platform, theyre roughly the same size
Imagine the size of the lx570
Well there's permagrin then there's PERMA-GRIN! Just remember when you make faces like that its gonna stay that way lol least thats what my mom said back in the day.
Haha! Very true!
Oh wow. Had no idea of what this rig was capable of! Definitely will follow this build 🙌🏻
Very smart rig. Your right! most people have no clue that the Lexus GX460 is. Its a beast!!!
The music is way too loud.
I'm thinkin a G wagon should be the next step
We love the looks of a G, but probably a looooong shot we will ever see one.
NOOO!!! Gotta be dependable to go as far from the beaten path as they do. Gotta be a Toyota! Reliable as a hammer. (Although I would love to see one built and no 20s or street tires!)
@@joehop5780 Yeah would love to see how well one would really work in real life
Such an exciting build to watch from the beginning! Hope it works out well for you. I’m definitely gonna check out your link to the Pepboys store.
NO dont tell anyone about the gx until I can get mine. Old Tundras are flying off the market, now sequoias and the gx has been a hidden gem. Now you guys are telling the secrets of the prado. Great vid keep them coming!!!
4Runner and GX460 are identical Frame down, GX460 your paying for luxurious Prado and 4Runner simplified Landcruiser Prado.
Prado
@@pimpovic2 thx m8
Huge power difference
@@richirving9802 Not really, the weight of the GX off sets its engine, It's around the same power due to the weight difference, Gx460 has ~3% better power to weight ratio. It’s ~11% less efficient. The performance is about equal.
Wow yall did a great job on the video.... We have a gx470... And I'm really diggin your 460...beautiful rig and nice Pic on the wheels.... Looking forward to seeing the new mods
You guys are so inspiring! Congratulations Sarah! It’s pruuurdy 😉 😍
Awesome truck off-road
Yes in Aus its lc Prado 4 cylinder 3 litre turbo diesel and now it's 2.8 turbo diesel so many accessories
Always enjoy your channels!
Congrats. I own 2015 lgx . There’s hardly any content on this rig mods. Finally will see some good content.
Such a great review !!! Thank you
I agree we bought a GX 470 and it was significantly better price to a 4 runner. Like you stated more power especially with by adding weight it will work the engine less. Also have to drive long miles to see good off road trails. For that we desired comfort. Very happy with our choice.
You guys have 2 of the best all terrain vehicles of the planet 👍 💗 your chanel.
looks so good with the new wheels and tires.
Good looking GX. I like GX, LX, and 4Runners so it’s hard to say which is better. Currently enjoying my GX too.
Enjoyed this video. Looking forward to your future builds for the GX460. Our future plans include purchasing a GX470 or 460 and building an overland ride.
i already enjoyed this chanel before… now with a land cruiser… a fav!
I came so close to buying almost exactly what you have here. I shopped for 3 months online and around Miami for just the right deal on a used one. I didn't care too much what year because from 2012 until the 2019, they are all about the same, all I cared about was get a White exterior for the Miami heat and not black for the interior, I wanted the top trim with crawl control even though I'm about 700 miles from a mountain, I wanted to be able to vacation with it up north. About the time of the video post, I had a good friend that has known me over 40 years tell me to forget the SUV because I already own two Chevy vans if I needed a truck, but to instead buy a Lexus GS-F because no off roading in
S. Fl unless you count getting stuck in the everglades, but to spend the time on the pavement with a car that was made for driving, handling, quick 20 to 120mph with fantastic V8 sound like no other luxury sedan around. That's what I did and I'v loved every second so far, 3 months of pure enjoyment. Lexus is just such a great experience. I still may end up getting a GSX 460 some day. Something about that body on frame luxury SUV I just love.
HELLLLL TO THE YEAHHH YEAHHHH YEAHHHH.
Tenesseeee babbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyy🙏🏼. Y’all rock.
the Prado in Australia comes with 2 fule tanks of 90 liters each and can do around 1,200 kilometers on the highway,v6 motor
4.0 liters, you guys are on the right track.
Mighty DIRRRRTY ! Got KM3s on my State truck and love em
It does look nice, very appealing, I want to buy if Lexus can make it just like you guys did. Love the 3" rears lift and wheels.
Nice rig looking forward to this build.
Saving for a similar lift and wheel pkg for my 4th gen 4Runner, the previous owner upgraded to a GX470. Hope the reliability on this engine is as good as the 4.7.
