The fact that you don't have at least 2 million subscribers and 1 million views yet with your editing and story telling is beyond me?!!!
Cristian Damian awe thank you it’s a slow grind baiting in those subs but we’ll get there some day.
@@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656 Dude your rig is awesome
Bro, this setup is next level! Great idea with removing the middle seat.
I love your modifications. The extra gas tank is game changer. It’s goals af to have a rig like this!
Ashik Banjade thanks man it’s definitely a dream rig we’ve worked hard toward. 🙏🏽
very nice build ready for extreme situations! all the people saying it's over the top have never been stranded in the middle of nowhere and had a battery die or worse!
@@paulchase451 thank you 🙏🏽
Great mod but, wouldn't you want the scoop on the snorkel facing the back(the otherway)? You would think if you are traveling off road you would get less dust or dirt going into the intake.
Smart call on the long range fuel tank to go with extra water.
I came across this channel after seeing the new concept vehicle from Lexus, the GXOR. I loved it but since it's only a concept vehicle I did a search for Lexus GX off-road and this is the first suggestion I got from TH-cam. Glad I clicked because I loved the build and ideas plus the video and narrating are very professionally done. I've been fixing up a 2001 Cherokee that I use for moderate off-roading but now based on your videos I am really thinking of doing some overland expeditions with the family. I subscribed and look forward to seeing more vids.
Bcc074 that’s awesome I’m glad you clicked as well. Get that family out there’s nothing like exploring with the ones you love and thanks for the sub👊🏽
Thinking about getting a GX470 which lead me to your video. All I can say is WOW. First class vehicle and video presentation.
Alco Power well thank you I appreciate that we all put a lot of work into building it and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
Love what you have done with the gx470. Just purchased a very clean 2009 and now have many more ideas how to spend more money. Thanks and good job on the video, look forward to seeing more from you.
John Andrews that’s awesome congrats on your GX it’s a great platform thanks for watching. More to come!!
Age 66 here. A 2004 GX470 Mint condition shows up on Craigslist. Im literally handing the previous owner cash while he's fielding calls from Colorado begging, ready to get on the plane. Now I see this upgrade. Im in AZ. Im not clueless. They do this down here. There is a God and He wanted me to have this GX.
Bryce Bertolino haha that’s awesome thanks for watching safe travels in AZ
Oh man, you're going to make me spend a lot of money on my GX.
Jordan Wilbanks haha happy to help. 😂
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few days :)
@Emanuel Muhammad Definitely, have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :D
@@judejon8198 Definitely, have been a bot on TH-cam myself
I have a GX too, what a great idea taking out the second row seats and using the third row! I never thought of that. Most owners take out the third row and put them on a shelf forever!
Yeah it limits interior storage a lot but it works great with the kids it’s like a little play pin lol.
FWIW, 3rd row doesn't have LATCH tie-down. Seatbelts work well enough, but not as secure/safe as LATCH. Considerations and battles, definitely not a deal-breaker.
That is literally the vehicle that I see in my dreams. Very very very nice weapon!
I did too for a lot of years before I got to build it. I definitely catch myself gazing out the living room window at it. Sometimes I have to remind myself that isn’t mine Lol
Who's is it!? @@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656
james burke haha well I bought it for the wife so technically it’s hers.
Great video, camera work, editing, your presence on camera etc. Such a sweet build too. I'm totally inspired. I'v got a 2002 Jeep TJ and my wife has a 2005 4runner. I'm really thinking the 470 will be my next vehicle. I love the entire platform and people like you have proven to me that there's a thriving after market community for these bad boys.
I just missed out on a 2008 gx470 somebody beat me to it stock truck. One owner 159k kilometres 14.500.00 Dam. That’s a great built hats off to you and have great time on your journeys 👍
o Rebelo that’s a bummer keep looking the right one will pop up and thank you
So sick my brother would love to own one like it
I had my heart set on an 80 or 100 series LC, until I saw this video! Very, very well done build! Congrats.
P C thank you 🙏🏽 . I do have to say I have an old 80 and it’s still my favorite to drive. Not to make your decision any more difficult 😂
I wish i would have bought a gx those years ago instead of a FJ> Decided to go back to shcool , once im out im getting a gx .
Thanks for the video. Gracias para todo!
Noel Ebbert for sure it’s been a great rig we’re currently doing an FJ rear axel swap best of both worlds I guess👍🏽
I plan on getting the GX-470 2008-9 or LC 2008 or 11 at end of the year thanks your walk around that GX wow
Andrew Meekins thank you good luck on the hunt
Thank you for making this video! Just got my gx!
You bet always happy to help!!
Best GX rig I’ve seen. Very well thought out and perfectly done. Anything you would change now? Any updates?
Dude so badass. Great setup
I am shopping for a GX470, it is a great start for an off roader/overlander, I'm bookmarking this video, you have some things I haven't seen before.
Right on glad I could be of some help👍🏽
How much did yiur build cost?
Art Mahmoudian not to sure 12k maybe
@@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656 wow amazing i was thinking 20 k lol
very clean, would like to see the full packed version with the kids in the back. but definitely an inspiration for my build. the switches on the factory locations, makes everything stay clean and uncluttered. The roof rack and the rear bumper very clean on the outside, looking forward to the trip
TintioT thank you very much. You’ll get to see the packed version this summer when the better weather hits and we get the family out, just starting to come out of hybernation.
Excelente Jason ya estoy acondicionando mi GX y también le compre un radio TESLA de 10" quedo impresionante
Great upgrades. Nice ride!!!
Thank you it’s for sale if you know anyone who’s interested 👍🏽
By far how I’d like get my Lexus gx470. Bad ass.
Thanks 🙏🏽 GX’s are 👑
I’m really impressed, you did a great job 👍👌👍
Well thank you! Are you a GX owner or just an enthusiast?!?!
Walkthrough so extensive, dude's beard grow throughout the video. Nice build!
Haha thank you 🙏🏽
Man, this is awesome. Great vid. Lexus/Toyota’s never die!!!
Kai Sato-Franks thank you!!
I have the luxury model and to see what it can become is amazing 😱
Ooo luxury model never heard of that what comes with it?
Brilliant Build. Now I want one!
Stride Ironbender do it!!
I am sooooo sold on getting one of those
I am picking up a GX470 tomarrow. I have to say my favorite things are the SSO rear bumper swing out and the 33gal Aux fuel tank. To bad looks like SSO doesnt sell that rear swing out anymore for GX470 only the rock sliders which look way more beefy than Metal Tech and cheaper.
Shadowplate yeah agreed SSO keeps talking about a group buy for gx owners. I’d stay away from MT there lots of folks having issues both in quality and customer service. I actually bought their sliders then sold them cuz they didn’t attach very solid. The tank though is awesome almost 700 mile range is a game changer. Good luck with yours!!
What a beautiful beast!
Thank you!!
I always like this look from the Lexus
Agreed I saw these about ten years ago and thought that’d be a perfect for an adventure family
sick build, grabbing a Gx when I get home from Iraq. This vid just sealed the deal.
Sefton phang right on glad I can help and thank you 🙏🏽 for your service!!
Simply beautiful.
DR thank you
How much was the final build cost? Would you be able to do a part breakdown with price?
DAYYYAM!! What an awesome rig!!!
So yeah...that rig is dope!! Love the mods and more so the explanation that speaks to functionality.
Zenquest thank you 🙏🏽
This is madness !! That setup is like 100/10 ! Ps is there an episode on how much all of that costed ? There should be one !
I am loving your truck and set up. I was always wanting to overland, but started with utv's which limited how far I could go and carry. I bought 2 lol! After outfitting those things and buying a 26 foot trailer and also a heavy duty truck, I would say I am in over 70k. It didnt last long, I still love it, but you have done what I really want to do. I work hard and sit at a desk most of that time, but i need this in my life. My kids are 17 and 20, boys and we need this to reconnect and get away. My youngest son is pumped about it. Going to find a gx and try to start building at the end of next month. Any pointers you could give would be great. Thanks for the info on the video. Great job!
Jabotank1 take your time and find the one you want check out GXOR for help and info and hopefully we’ll be welcoming you into the GX family soon!!
Finally! Found the truck! I bought the gx460. 119k miles, black, 2010 for 20k. 1 owner. Thanks again, your video sparked this! I hope you guys are well. Gonna start ordering my stuff now. Peace your way.
Great review. I just bought one of these yesterday. Looking forward to getting some stuff for it. Figuring out the right flavor.
Michael Macillicutti right on welcome to the GX family make sure you check out the Facebook group GXOR lots of good info on there
Great build. Love the attention to detail
Thank you was really looking forward to this video. Its very unique you removed the middle row. I myself removed the third and built a storage box/bed system in the back.
Yeah that was the original plan for us but with the kids and the trailer it seems to work out well so far but the downside is there’s no storage space.
Wow Jason that thing is pretty fancy man. Looks like you got it figured out. I also got rid of the 80 series and in the process of building my Tacoma. Looking forward to seeing more videos peeeaaace lol.
Overland 80 oh man sad to hear that I could never part with the ol 80. She definitely been neglected since the princess has been so high maintenance but she’s my first love. Lol. The Tacoma and the GX will be much more comfortable. Thanks for following along.
Outlaw Xpeditions Overland Adventures yeah it wasn't an easy decision but going from 10 miles to the gallon on the hwy with the cruiser to 20 with the Tacoma puts a big smile on my face and it's been nice being able to pass by a gas station on an adventure and not needing to stop and top off lol.
Overland 80 haha ya I hear that if it’s a daily it’s a bit thirsty. Definitely better mileage out of the taco
Good choice of products used.
John Diaz thank you
Amazing ride. I'm looking into the GX model and this just motivated me to push harder for it.
Jose Gutierrez thank you much appreciated. If yo have any questions when you build yours out let me know.
I’ve been considering selling my 2019 Tacoma Trd off-road for a used one of these. There a great looking vehicle and you can find them for a great price. With the extra money I can build one out pretty nice.
I am considering used GX vs new 4R ( used 4R to expensive). What year range are you considering for GX
Man I hate the snow but this looks badass!
94.Est haha thanks... I think 🤔
thats a nice setup, im currently deciding if i should go with the gx470 or the 4runner v8.
Either is great in fact there almost the same truck obviously the Lexus has a bit more of the creature comforts but good support for both the GX is probably a bit cheaper. What are your deciding factors?
damn thats a dream setup
Alex thank you 🙏🏽
So awesome!
Inspiration and ideas for GX 460 I bought today!
Lots of mods, no sales tax either. Oregon is awesome.
Dane Stonebraker shhh 🤫 don’t tell anyone 🤣🤣
OXOverland Family Adventures saw a rig just like yours towing a uhaul last night. As long as they’re just visiting.
Just got the Tesla screen for my GX, have you ever thought about that!? It enables you use apple maps etc and a lot of other apps.
Jay Burke yeah I looked at it but with the climate controls locked into the entertainment system I didn’t want to risk aftermarket products while traveling abroad. It would suck to not have heat or ac. Lol
I’ve owned two GX’s over the last 15 years, and it’s the most trouble free and best built SUV ever to me. Nice build, but with all the quality upgrades kind of bummed to see that cheap snorkel.
993mike haha well I spend my money where it’s most important and to be quite honest there both made from the same material the only difference is a safari is about 300% more. I’ve got a safari on my 80 series and for abs plastic $400 is a bit steep but to each their own I just tend to learn from past mistakes. But I totally agree amazing rigs that’s what brought me to the GX, the luxury of a Lexus but pedigree of a land cruiser.
Would you recommend buying a 2-3 owner 2008 model with ~130k miles on it?
Is the GX 4.6L v8 aluminum engine as reliable as the 4 runner 4.7L v8 or 4.0 v6. Any thoughts or advice appreciate. Looking at purchasing one of them. How many miles on the your GX and repairs. I assume just because it’s Lexus badge it more expensive than repairs on Toyota
Thanks
🔥Nice build...mine is stock, city kid that just stopped by for some ideas..
Divine Davy we got lots of inspiration for ideas!! Thanks for stopping by👍🏽
Awesome build, I would be happy with half that. Can you if haven’t already give break down of cost of each mod and average installation cost , It would be helpful to determine to go with Used GX vs new 4Runner TRD offline trim. Looking to start over-landing in US
Thanks
Very cool. But a stock GX can get out there, provide joy, no issue. But this build is epic good.
Very true doesn’t take an epic build to explore. Sometimes all these upgrades are more of a hindrance then help
Wow just bought my bone stock 2004 Friday. This is a little overwhelming
Haha ya I could see that. Just start small not everyone will need all that we do.
Beautiful build.
sweet build
Thank you 🙏🏽
Can you post the information for the company that you order the gas tank from in Australia? And do they sale different tanks for different vehicles?
Sweet Build; check out Pro Comps A/T SPORT and even with the ARB I would add a back up - Powertank or Smittybilt Compact Air
Yeah it’s a constant balancing act between weight and preparedness the way I try and think about it is “what is going to keep me from making it to where I can repair it.” that’s how I balance my decisions.
4runner Killer. V8, Armor, Fuel Tank, Lighting. A true expeditionary vehicle.
Q: Would or did you consider the Sequoia as a base to build from?
joseph powers thanks 🙏🏽. Yeah I’ve looked at them in the past but there’s so little support and after market upgrades that it’d make it a very difficult build process.
I want to add an extended fuel system. Do you have video breaking down the cost of that?
I don’t but I want to say it’s between $4-6k if you have it installed
@@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656 thanks! To me that’s worth it. I think Toyota really got it wrong putting such a little tank on this gas guzzler.
@@Jotin8664 absolutely it was the best mod we did went from 250-300 miles to 650-700 miles per tank
Great
Love the rig love the channel! Looking forward to catching up on past videos and to the new. Safe travels.
Thanks Garrett Pittman lots of good stuff to catch up on!!
What kind of Wheels are those? Black Rhino? They are badass
They are ultra crushers got them cheap. Lol
💥🚀... bravo!... nicely built.. way to cover your bases... have you thought about adding lockers? I think that's the only thing missing... keep on trailin!..🙏🏼🤙🏼👊🏼
R. Sean Griffith it’s got a rear locker we swapped the 8.0 with a locked 8.2 rear end out of an FJ. It just came after the video was shot. Thanks for the kind words
One nice looking rig vato . . .
Thank you👍🏽
Nice build.
Thank you
Very well thought out expedition vehicle! Quality content
Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽
I noticed you mentioned the air bags. If planning on upgrading the suspension (to what degree) would it not be worth it to get the adaptive suspension, etc, in that case?
You mean KDSS? If that’s what you’re referring to it’s great for stock vehicles but if you plan on modifying the suspension or adding sliders it just ends up being more of a pain than anything
Nicely done!
Badass build
Very clean! Very thoughtfull! Imaculate built!😍
Good job my man!👍
Waiting forward for your next adventures!!!🤞
Alin - Gabriel Antoce thanks you it’s an ongoing process but we’re really happy with it.
@@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656 You really have a great rig!👍
No shame in being proud of your hard work and design!😉
Alin - Gabriel Antoce your right it’s just weird when you have what you’ve been working towards for a long time.
@@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656 Just keep on going!!!👍
Good on your family trip to SA i plan on buying a GX also a 05 or 08 and will put a winch on it with tires and maybe up grade shocks what you thing help ????????
Awesome build, cant seem to find the rear bumper available anymore which is shame because it looks slick.
Zonehawk yeah unfortunately they were discontinued
I like this set up!
Sick build!
Thank you!!
What's the total cost of vehicle + build out?
I just want to know if he was able to change the factory nav/climate control radio for an aftermarket one lol
Ask and you shall receive th-cam.com/video/ZQt6dFn6CBg/w-d-xo.html
Def need that aux fuel tank, since you have built a "Tank"...Im guessing about 13 -14 mpg on the HWY?...Did you happen to say what the wheel size was or offset? I had 285x60-18 on my 06' V8 4Runner with the 2.5 front Lift and 3" inback...MPG dropped from 21 to 17MPG.. Just Purchased on 08 Lexus GX470.. Bout' too get the "treatment"... thanks for all the links and great Info/ideas..
haha I wish try 9 towing 10 with just the truck
Killer rig mate! FYI, if you ever get down to Australia, emu is pronounced "ee-mew".
Oh_Sully got it!! We hope to make it there sooner than later
Correct me if wrong, but Southern Style Off Road no longer makes the front and rear bumpers? I currently don't see them on their site in the "Lexus" category.
That’s correct unfortunately they don’t make them anymore
Love this build. Lets be real though and Tell me the original color is that old man gold and thats why it got wrapped!
Haha never!! It was already white just wanted to protect the paint and give it a matte look.
Do you need the roof rack for the rhino pullout cover
Yeah you’ll need something to secure it to the factory rack wont work unfortunately
wow!! perfect setup 🙂can you tell me more or less how much did you spend on your upgrades?
Maybe 20k but that’s with help from sponsors so maybe $40k or more if you didn’t do your own work and paid retail
Beautiful truck
FishGears 🙌🏽
How are the two baby seats secured? Does the GX470 have anchors on the rear seats?
Tertius Carstens no anchors gotta use the seat belts.
That's sweet. Just got 07 gx 470. Looking for ideas. Thank ox.
Old man Emu a great product also made by ARB👍
Tim Reynolds the best!!
It’s me again was there any modifications you did to install the battery 24 xs because it is real tight with the air conditioner pipe in the way . Did you bend it or the air conditioner pipe leans very snug on the battery, how did you get the positive and neg cables to reach the main start battery with d2700 xs battery ??
Awesome build, just picked up a GS myself, hope I can make half as cool!
wyrickb great choice what year did you get?
if you plan on running a road trip from the usa to south america keep your a/t's. as long as you have maxtrax you'll be fine
No we were going to shipping to SA from Florida but major travel changes coming soon we’re completely flipping things and heading somewhere entirely different
Could you please add a price breakdown of your upgrades? Thanks.
Tahshitan oh man that would be a difficult one because so much of my build was in part sponsored by the companies we work with. I imagine retail you’d probably pay around $40-50k to buy all the parts and have them installed. That’s why we work so hard on our content I knew I’d never be able to afford a build like this without help.
@@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656 thanks a lot for your reply. Now it puts noob like me into prospective ;)
And if I already have your attention 😉 may I ask you...
What in your opinion bare minimum "must to upgrade" when you get stock GX first gen?
Tahshitan tires sliders and a winch will get you almost anywhere you’d want to go. Might think about the airbag delete too if there old nothing like a saggy bottom on the trails.
Who makes this bumper? I can’t find it on Southern Style’s website
