About the GX460 , Call Icon to confirm> but its my understanding if you up the dampening on the shocks up front it should help with the heavy spring rebound. if its already maxed out you may want to consider upping the spring rate up front to compensate for the added weight of the front bumper, winch and lights.
2 things. 1: Can’t wait for you to fix the suspension on Silver. Man, that squeak is annoying🙄 2: good to see “Sidekick” earning her keep😂😂😂 Keep the great vids coming. We all appreciate them👍
Mom and dad, cherish the time with your darling daughter.. they grow up way to fast, trust me I know...love all you do ..I am living in your shoes and am loving all of it, be safe
I love your videos. I have GX and I love what you did with yours. Your content is super and I don't understand why you don't have millions of subscribers. Good luck !
I was out there this year around July 10th. We camped on the Grand Mesa, and it was still like 90 degrees at 10,000 feet. Kind of ridiculous on the heat. I did some mountain biking. I also remember Grand Junction being like 105 or so when we left too. That was hotter than I like. I also ran into a bear cub while mountain biking up there too on FS 515.
Sorry you were sick buddy and yes that suspension squeaking has had me concerned for sometime great trail though with some awesome scenery. As always thank you sharing.
Hey guys. Love your channel. I would love to hear you guys do a comparison video between the 4runner and the GX as it relates to overlanding. You're in a unique position to be able to have a lot of experience with both and to compare side by side. What aspects of each do you prefer over the other, what factors do you think would sway someone's decision to buy one over the other, etc. It would be super helpful to people like me who are trying to decide between the two. :)
Happy belated birthday Kevin. Glad to see you enjoying your Jiffy Pop. I hope all of you are feeling much better. I realize you'll be upgrading Silver's suspension, but since Ms. Aspen is a little saggy in the front, would it make sense to swap in some beefier springs to compensate? Also, those mud terrains are quickly becoming the official tire of choice lol. Also when you all get back to New Mexico and settled in...the podcast needs to make a return, please please, please.
So awesome to watch Carolyn (hope that I spelled her name right) grow and now watch her participate and learn what has to be done to keep our land open.
CONGRATULATIONS ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂! HOPE YOUR WISH COMES TRUE 👍 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOY 😉! ENJOYED ! GORGEOUS VIDEO WEATHER FOOTAGE COLORS VIEWS SCENERY !
AH Grand Mesa, have had some good times up there. You certainly need some maintenance on the 4 Runner with all the noises going on. Off roading requires a steady diet of parts.
Your Lexus looks really bad ass. I'm just wondering , my 2022 is totally stock also does not come with crawl control, because it's the black line edition, so knowing what you do with your vehicle how much would a stock lexus GX 460 be able to tackle without all those mods?
I may have missed it but what year and trim is the GX? I just sold my beloved 2003 Montero and in March I'm moving to Colorado and looking to get into a new off road adventure SUV. I'm really digging the Lexus over some other brands for it's capability and reliability. I would Love Heated and Cool Seats for those warm days but other than that, Center Diff lock and KDSS seems a good start.
Love following along on ur journeys. I understand having two vehicles in case one breaks For me I really liked ur travel to Alaska & the family together exploring. Having two vehicles seems to take away from that experience as a viewer. Just my two cents. I grew up in T-Ride. You giys should go over Imogene & back on Black Bear
So I don’t know how long ago you were actually in grand Junction. But I live here in Grand Junction. And I’m really curious what road you’re on. The road up and over the grand Mesa is a paved road that goes up through mesa Colorado Powderhorn ski resort. I’m really curious where you found that dirt road. Where did you go in and where did you come out? And what lake was that?
The GX has to be really good as the Prado is Here in Australia. They are popular for the comfort and capability. Our new model diesel has 150 kw and 500nm of torque which is plenty. That translates to 201 horse power and 367 ft/lb torque for American friends.
Do you guys hang a bear bag in camp or leave your non-perishables in the vehicle? You may have addressed it before and I missed it. I am more acquainted with doing my wilderness exploring on foot.
Regarding the front hitting the ground, are you using standard springs or heavier duty springs? Is this normal behavior with a big front bumper or is something wrong in your setup?
How do you guys sleep peacefully at locations you've never been before? I've recently been having a really hard time / it's just me and my companion Reggie a husky/shepherd mix. I was out last night north of Beavers Bend (Hochatown) Ok. about 3 hrs. from home. I drove back trying to get to a bluff area overlooking the lake. The trail ended and there was a stone fire ring so I decided to camp there. It was completely quiet, very little wind. I tried to sleep in my Eno doublenest hammock/Marmot mummy bag, tying one end to my roof rack and the other to a tree. It was beautiful and had a great fire. Checked the weather and heavy rain was projected for 6AM and most of the day. I tried to sleep, but couldn't. I finally broke camp, tore down and hit the road at 11:30PM. I got home around 3AM. I've just found recently on several trips, I cant fall asleep and know I will be miserable and exhausted the next day. 3 times now, I've given up and just gone home. Maybe it's just an undersign of unrest in my life or something I don't know, but it sure is discouraging. It took a lot of effort to get way out there.
I know exactly where you were. Perhaps subconsciously you are worried about bigfoot? Lol. Hope you find peace, sure ruins a nice trip when you can't relax.
I really love watching your adventures, but…..the music, oh my it’s so bad…but again let me say how awesome you all are! My daughter loves it too, she’s 9
Glad you and your daughter enjoy the videos 👍 Music styles are hard to nail for everyone though, so we do what we can with what's available for this type of use.
@@LifestyleOverland as we've continued to watch your videos the music got way better, love what you guys are doing, me my wife and daughter are heading out on our first adventure in our GX 460 this weekend, we live on Vancouver Island and have discovered tons of great spots, have you ever been here with your two rigs? We'd love to have you over for coffee...!
@@LoredMarilius Yes, in my TRD. I will be looking for property to relocate from Cincinnati area to the Rockies! I removed the back seats, built a platform and I'm heading out! So, I guess you missed the question about DYRT App?
salut . ''13.25 '' I encounter the same problem in the summer when I dive into the sea, I find Chinese lanterns that have become terribly popular with children. if the steel wire corrodes in salt water, the paper is very unsightly and breaks into pieces if you want to pick it up.
Especially bread type products as these animals store their food for winter and bread goes moldy and contaminates their whole food supply and they starve to death.
I'm at ~173,500 miles on the original shocks / struts. "Lucille" is kinda waiting to figure out what she suspension she wants to have when she grows up (lol).
Makes recovery easier, won't be stranded if a vehicle breaks, and it's easier to explore new trails without worrying about dragging a trailer down it and possibly having to turn around on the trail with said trailer.

Love there is no music during the trail section (15:00 to 19:00) - surprisingly very relaxing.
I have a 3 year old daughter.. seeing your daughter open those gates brought tears to my eyes... they grow up too fast.!! Love everything you do!!!
Nothing makes a Birthday party great, then Jiffy pop. Haven’t done that on a campfire in many years. Great video guys. Cheers!!!
Great video!! I’m glad you spoken up, ‘let what’s wild, stay wild’
Until of course you pimp out the GPS coordinates of every campsite for a fee on Patreon!

One of my favorites I’ve seen lately, some good wheeling and views! But hey, I love all the videos!
If i wasn't getting a pickup the GX would absolutely be the SUV i go for. Honestly, i never even noticed them till this channel. Good stuff.
So awesome to watch Carolyn (hope that I spelled her name right) grow and now watch her participate and learn what has to be done to keep our land open.
Great episode...
Good luck you all....!!!
Waiting for next episode
Nice surprise at the end of episode 13... I happened to watch it at midnight, on my actual birthday the 13th!
Super relaxing video to watch. Love those shots on the trail!
Great wheeling in this one. Happy birthday!
Now I am fixated on the squeaky suspension lol. Rattles and squeaks drive me insane, torture haha.
CONGRATULATIONS ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂! HOPE YOUR WISH COMES TRUE 👍 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOY 😉! ENJOYED !

Hello. What size and make are your tires, for ole' silver? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for another great video keep up the great work 😎👍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Great video.
Do you guys hang a bear bag in camp or leave your non-perishables in the vehicle? You may have addressed it before and I missed it. I am more acquainted with doing my wilderness exploring on foot.
when our trucks squeak a lot, I usually just spray wd-40 till it goes away haha. But a rebuilt is probs better!
White lithium spray on grease is way better. Give it a try! Less than $5 at Walmart, Autozone, etc...
@@TexasBroskiActual Ill have to give it a shot!
Happy Birthday Kevin. 🍽 🎂 🍷🍷
Glad you’re feeling better.
Happy birthday to you and your family and happy long Life

Great Videos! Thank you!
Another great video and happy birthday
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
Hey was that the Blue Ridge Overland Gear squirrel 🐿 in the opening scene?
Nice video and camping location. The GX looks great. How are you liking the Ironman skids?
Do you guys have any cooling issues with the reduced airflow from the large lights in front?

@14:00 finally making Caroline earn her keep........ great job Caroline :-)
A podcast to talk about the GX upgrades please, please, pretty please!
I really love watching your adventures, but…..the music, oh my it’s so bad…but again let me say how awesome you all are!
My daughter loves it too, she’s 9
Glad you and your daughter enjoy the videos 👍 Music styles are hard to nail for everyone though, so we do what we can with what's available for this type of use.
Totally understand, thanks so much for your reply. We got an RX 460 yesterday, you guys inspired us!
@@LifestyleOverland as we've continued to watch your videos the music got way better, love what you guys are doing, me my wife and daughter are heading out on our first adventure in our GX 460 this weekend, we live on Vancouver Island and have discovered tons of great spots, have you ever been here with your two rigs? We'd love to have you over for coffee...!
Now that you have had time in both rigs, If you had to choose one which one would it be? The 4Runner or the Lexus?
How do you guys feel about staying in hotels/motels during these times? Feel safe and clean (especially with having a kid around and all)?
Also, how much louder are those BFG mud terrains on the GX vs. the KO2's?
Does anyone use THE DYRT app for campgrounds? I'm going full-time overlanding in my TRD in FEB. -- THANKS!
In your TRD?
@@LoredMarilius Yes, in my TRD. I will be looking for property to relocate from Cincinnati area to the Rockies! I removed the back seats, built a platform and I'm heading out! So, I guess you missed the question about DYRT App?
Happy Birthday Kevin!
Well, you were in my neck of the woods. I live in Grand Junction.
Awesome overlanding
Looking forward to Silvers suspension rebuild!
Question: why the expense and decision of driving two 4x4 vehicles? Why not a sportmobile van that can carry and sleep your family? Just curious.
Quick trail fix for squeaky suspension parts is to turn up your radio.
Teaching her to open and close gates! Now you got something!
Happy belated Birthday!
When is the first video of the GX with the new Kaymar bumper gonna be shown??!!
Getting ready!!!
I miss GJ I lived for about a year and and my daughter was born there

"Let what's wild, stay wild" Best comment EVER! Yes, people, stop feeding the animals!!!!!!!!
Especially bread type products as these animals store their food for winter and bread goes moldy and contaminates their whole food supply and they starve to death.
Nice episode
Could please do a video on parts used on the Ram Mount in the Lexus on the driver's A pillar ?
I'm at ~173,500 miles on the original shocks / struts. "Lucille" is kinda waiting to figure out what she suspension she wants to have when she grows up (lol).
I hit like even before watching the whole video
Awesome 👊🏾
Can you post the NM trails you took preferably in a Agia format.
What kind of tires are y’all running on each rig?
Grand Junction my dad's hometown @1944.
COOL RANCH DORITOS, awesome. living the good life.
Happy Birthday 🎂🍭🍬🍻body. God bless you. I hope that enjoy very much. From Costa Rica...... Pura Vida Mae!!👊🤘🖒😉
Muy bonito y Felicidades por tu cumpleaños !!!!
Felicidades
happy birthday sir.💐💐💐💐♥️♥️♥️💝💝💝🎂🎂🎂🎂
Happy biRtHdaY Kev🍻🇦🇺
How many years has Caroline been asking “Can I open the gate?”? Well done you 👧🏼
Wondering what is the gas mileage on the GX
What tire deflation tool is that?
salut. ok, we are waiting .... keep safe
Happy birthday from your friend in Israel
Belated birthday wishes kevin🎉🙂
Could anyone share why they both drive separate cars? Thanks in advance
Two vehicles gives them something to help the other when stuck and such.
Makes recovery easier, won't be stranded if a vehicle breaks, and it's easier to explore new trails without worrying about dragging a trailer down it and possibly having to turn around on the trail with said trailer.
Still waiting for the mushroom recipe!!
Happy Birthday
Nice nice very nice!!
Los veo desde Guatemala 🇬🇹 saludos.
País : BRASIL 🇧🇷

What year is the GX?
i missed the premier :(
🌲🍔🎂Happy birthday🎂🍔🌲
That's my hood! (the woods, not either hood : )
You can come to Europe, the beauty is in nature and the mountains - but in America there is only the desert
Waiting for video ... 🤓
