We GET UP, GET OUT, & DO SOMETHING! with our off-road vehicles. This is PART 4 of our Big Bend National Park trip. Our friend brings his crossover Lexus hybrid and finds out that awd is different from 4wd.
This is a 4 part series in which I share some of our experiences in our 5 day trip. Please feel free to comment or reach out via instagram @coastal_gxspi.

I am not an expert at ANYTHING! This channel is meant to entertain you. I like to tell stories. I consider myself a person who enjoys learning about a variety of topics. I do my own research and I draw my own conclusions so I suggest you do the same. I’m constantly yearning to do better. I want to enjoy life while respecting fellow man and Mother Earth. I WILL stumble and make mistakes along the way.
Taking the hybrid with the low profile tires on that road was nuts! 😱😂
I just did this run today! So much fun! Thank you for the inspiration.
That’s awesome!! Any major changes?
@@CoastalGX it was pretty similar, so I knew what to expect. There has been some recent erosion which has made some areas ruddy and difficult for lower clearance vehicles, even south of Ernst Tenaja. I talked with a guy in a Subaru who had to turn around because of it. My GX had no problem!
@@WBrown999 I just came here to ask the same question I asked you on IH8MUD... : )
Another great video.
Pushing AWD to the limits lol
Next time we are doing front wheel drive only lol
Was doing research to see how a modified Power Wagon would handle the trail. Suddenly not so worried about it now. Thanks for putting this out!.
It will do great out there. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have fun.
EXT just came back from there and ran Old Ore in a 2016 2500 Mega cab Hemi. An unmodified Power Wagon would cake walk through Old Ore. I am leveled on Bilsteins and running 295/65r20’s (35.1”x11.8) Toyo Open Country AT3’s. Didn’t bother airing down. PW has lockers; mine has limited slip. I doubt you would need to lock anything. Just my $.02.
I think I’m going next weekend in my GX- stock one did alright out there?
Yes, you’ll be good stock. Have fun!
Dude?! Whaaaa!? JJ is a wild man! Glad they made it thru without a failure. His Tundra would have been a much better choice tho. Can't wait to get out there with yall again!
Overland HemiSphere yes, his Tundra would have been the better choice lol.
Lolololol I'd be the one in the RX400H, but I wouldn't take my chances on that! HahA! Glad he made it. I have mine in Massachusetts for the snow, but that's about it. The hybrid (at least mine, '07 RX400H) is a couple inches higher off the ground than the regular 2nd Gen. RX350, but that's to keep the hybrid battery from getting soaked.
Anyway, I love your videos! So fun! I'm disabled, so there's not a ton of stuff I can do, or afford. Would I love to do this with a GX like yours? Hell, yes! Maybe if I win the lottery some day! Hahaa.
Congratulations on your Lexus! My videos are silly and meant to entertain (sprinkled with a bit of facts) 🤣. Thank you for commenting; your feedback made my evening 😊
Loved the video! You think a bone stock 2021 GX could do it?
Absolutely!! The white GX is stock for the exception of the wheels and AT tires. Congratulations on your new GX!
Awesome video! Great to watch how your knowledge and skills have evolved since you have started! Keep it up bro!!
Thank you, Alex. Something’s gotta stick! However, we never stop learning and that’s the exciting part. I appreciate your viewership!
Thanks for posting! You have successfully distracted me from my not having any water woes. Also, my camping gear got us through the no power stage of the ice storm.
I just recently got my services back so I relate. My overlanding gear made life bearable through this crisis. Be safe and I hope things get back to normal soon.
I am heading to Big Bend in mid-August. Do you think a stock diesel Nissan Titan XD would be able to navigate this trail? I go offroading every now and then in Eastern KY, but these are lots of sharp rocks which pose its own set of challenges. I am currently running Falkan Wildpeak's which are great in soft dirt and mud, but I havn't really had any experience with them on lots of loose rocks. The truck is stock. The guy in the hybrid Lexus has balls of steel. Makes me wonder what his wife did to him when he got back home.
The trails weren’t too hardcore. I’m sure your truck would do well. If you’re concerned with the sharp rocks, perhaps consider lowering the air pressure. The heat will be strong at that time so make sure your cooling system is working great. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for responding! The heat does worry me, but the Aisin HD transmission and the cooling system are two things Nissan really did right on these diesel XD's. I took it to Death Valley a couple summers ago and even the AC continued to blow ice cold on the 125-129 degree days. I guess I will see once I get there whether I decide to tackle the primitive roads or not. If the temperatures are over 110 degrees, I probably will wuss out as a breakdown in those temps can be fatal. Do you have a satelite phone renter than you recommend?
Great video as always. Is this a new trip or the same one. Looks like a ton of fun man. Take care and stay safe.
We were there 5 days so there was plenty of content. The power outages and no wifi at home delayed my video production lol.
Lol ok. I hope everything and everyone was safe in the freeze take care.
How was the stock GX 460? We are headed to BBNP in Feb 2024. We will be stock (no lift) with Michelin Defenders. My only concern is clearance and my lack of experience. We will be carrying two kids and my parents who are in their 70-80's so getting stuck would be a serious situation that I want to avoid. So if there's any question, I will just drive part of Old Ore or skip it, but we want to have little bit of fun... : )
Just saw your reply to WBrown999 above... Guess it's a yes but with a check-in with the rangers to confirm conditions are "normal". Will depend on if the parents are feeling up to the adventure...
I replied to someone else? 😅
@@CoastalGX 2 years ago : )
@@lee4160 😅😅😅
Really surprised he made it!!😬🏜. Another great video Robert👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, brotha! We missed you on that run.
It was an asinine idea to bring the RX, it's just slowing the group down anyway good video content
Lol, I’m sure he won’t take that ride again.
But he made it nonetheless with the assistance & guidance of those around him and that's what the overland/offroad community is all about. Teamwork. 👍
I'm sure he probably won't try it again in that particular vehicle, but now he can actually say that he did it in an RX and this video is proof of that.
Depending on the season, old ore road can be worse than black gap. During a rainy day black gap is a mess lol
I can see that! I bet that water looks dramatic going through there.
Man, I agree! I was down there over Thanksgiving and Old Ore wasn't that bad. Maybe the runoff from the late December snow storm had something to do with the road condition? Y'all did an awesome job, Robert. Old Ore is about 3 times the length of Black Gap!
Enjoyed your video, it's always good to have folks you can trust with you. Although I wouldn't take a grocery getter out there it just goes to show technique can make the difference.
Most definitely! I’d hate to imagine what the cost of a tow truck would be out there.
I know the South route is much easier up to Ernst Tinaja. Can you tell me if it's easy enough to get to Telephone Canyon from the south or is the whole northern 2/3rds tough? Coming with an Outback.
I sincerely wish I had the answer to that. That was my first time there! Lol
Just really wanting to get my Gladiator and head out there and enjoy those routes. Just being out there and seeing the scenery while going on an adventure. Man, I can't wait. East Cut is another one I hopefully get to experience real soon too!
A gladiator would be perfect!! Let’s hope the year treats us better so we can partake in more adventures.
Awesome !!!
Thank you!
Do you know what kind of tires Mark (GX460) is running? Do they rub at all?
I don’t think he had rubbing issues. I may be wrong, but I think they were Falken Wildpeaks.
@@CoastalGX Do you know what tire diameter he is running? Stock is 30.5" on the 18" wheel. Wondering if I could fit 32"?
@@WBrown999 I’m so sorry brother. I don’t have that information. He would be the one with the info.
i'd like to try out my lifted Subaru , let me know if i can tag along , i am in the Brownsville Area
If you go north on BA6 and see us, drop by and say hello so we can meet you.
@@CoastalGX Will do
@@CoastalGX how often do you go?
Bernardo Dehoyos when I can; I’m not retired and I still have other projects (family stuff too.) I can only go on weekends since I have a full time career.
Awesome sauce bro!
Ayyyy guey!
Lol. Aguas con los topes!
Hell no
Lol, same here.
Stay home hybrid your too bougie
🤣
