The LX570 owner is the hero of that day. Bone stock with just upgraded rims and rubber and he did everything they did with cold drinks in the armrest and movies in the back.
@@mgtowalfa508 Agreed, and that's exactly why I own a 2013 LX570. I prefer the old style hand brake and front end before the 2016 redesign but they're all the same guts since 2008. If it ain't broke.. then it's probably a Toyota/Lexus. I'm also experienced enough to not require driving assistance features, and most are just annoying...Start and Stop engines.. FOR THE LOVE OF GAHD!!! The only thing that can compare is a Range, however when the reliability is questionable then the luxury factor is lost. I would never take my LX off-road like that but it's comforting to know that I could. For me it's about going over parking blocks, conquering snow, or a pothole laden commute... But I imagine I'm in the Aussie Outback or carving up some dunes in the Middle East.. or maybe saving diplomats with the UN.
My man in the 21' 570 with his nuts riding shotgun! What an undepreciated and new vehicle to take wheeling! We all wish we could, so congrats to you sir! Awesome crew. Thanks for uploading. No worries, but the LX has hydraulic* suspension. GX has the air :)
The one gx470 was pretty much stock. I’ve done the same trail before in my gx470 on just 265/70/17’s, it’s not a tough trail. The silver gx460 had one size up upsized tires I believe. All of them are very capable fresh from the factory.
So I didn’t have an extra 17” as OEM is 18” wheel, so I upsized the OEM spare to 265/65/18 which is the same diameter as 265/70/17. That would be the largest that would fit with my OEM hitch also. Since this video I’ve also upgraded all around to 285/70/17’s and now carry that spare on an extra 17” wheel inside the trunk strapped vertically.
The "trail" shown at the 12 minute mark is no longer accessible it is all blocked off by a field of boulders. No access is there. LOTS of boulders this really pissed off the park service as it was "off trail riding"
I didn't have to do anything to KDSS. I think if it was a larger lift I would. This weekend I installed 285/70's on the same wheels and still no issues with KDSS.
@@Ill06Taco To be honest I haven't driven much on it, but shop inflated them to 35 psi cold and they're stiffer than the previous 265/70's. As my main goal was to soften the ride using more sidewall, I am so far not very happy with them. I am going to see if I can run them at 30-33 psi safely and can get back to you. They are heavier and louder on the highway too, so tbh I'm kind of regretting the decision. The closest trial within 2 hours of me is the one in the video, and stock height would have been fine on it. It does look badass though lol.
@@MKAK47 it’s a fairly entry level trail and I’ve been on it 4-5 times now. Never seen anyone struggle or damage anything other than a low front bumper

Thats what I want to do...enough to take it off road, but still pull up to valet in style

Ironically, they all can haha, but if we're being honest, we all want that mack daddy LX570! What an expensive rig to get the pleasure of offroading.
That xterra got a v8 swap sounds good.
Great rigs, all of them. The guy in the LX and the stock GX did great, and that XTerra is something!
That's a lot of V8 powaaaaa! Great rigs, every one of them! I love the Xterra!

super awsome
That sexterra making those Toyota boys jelly
Love my GX, but damn I’d cheat on her. What you say is truth!
They all did well!
very nice presentation 👏
Next time I’m there!
That nissan tho 👀
It’s aight
@@valdaviper1 daaaang late AF!
Do you guys do a regular meet up in the DMV?
The LX 570 doesn't have air suspension though
My mistake, you’re absolutely right.
so the one GX was bone stock? no mods at all????
The one gx470 was pretty much stock. I’ve done the same trail before in my gx470 on just 265/70/17’s, it’s not a tough trail. The silver gx460 had one size up upsized tires I believe. All of them are very capable fresh from the factory.
have you got a 265/70R17 stuffed up under the 460?
So I didn’t have an extra 17” as OEM is 18” wheel, so I upsized the OEM spare to 265/65/18 which is the same diameter as 265/70/17. That would be the largest that would fit with my OEM hitch also.

@@valdaviper1 Yeah it sure seems like my 265/70R17 is just a hair too big with the oem hitch
@@richards996 you may have to air it down slightly as others do. Mine fits fine but it’s also not brand new.
I had LT 275/70/18 KO2 on 2016 LX 570. I can feel a little of scraping when making a sharp turn.

Oh wow, are you talking about the water/mud pits at the end of the trail? Or the side trail going up the steep inclines?
The mud pit area@@valdaviper1
do you know the exact lift setup for the GX460, it says 2" dobinson IMS, I'm wondering what was the front and rear lift heights. Thanks
Tbh I’m not sure. I can measure but I have 285/70/17’s Wildpeak SL’s now.
Did you have to modify the KDSS on the 460?
I didn't have to do anything to KDSS. I think if it was a larger lift I would. This weekend I installed 285/70's on the same wheels and still no issues with KDSS.
@@valdaviper1 thank you. How about rubbing on those new tires? Any noticeable performance difference between the smaller tires?

@@valdaviper1 are the same tires but a larger size? Sometimes when you go to a tire that large the load rating goes up and the tires get stiffer
Was it E or C rated?
yall are goofy going off road with no rocker protection
