excellent job! we went up this first waterfall completely blind without a spotter... 😆 definitely a spotter trail.. also the cameras always flatten this trail out... as you said way steeper and scary than it looks on camera.
We got stuck at 09:00min into your video. Rocks were too slick for us to grab. I think I could’ve air down to 14-15psi but didn’t want to risk it. And this was during summer
More info on the shop/regear ratio here: th-cam.com/video/yIxvRAgydl4/w-d-xo.html Cost is about $5k minimum I’d say but I was part of a group buy so could vary
How did you add rear locker onto that gx470? Were the stock rear differential a torsen? I'm looking to buy an eaton elocker for my 2011 4runner limited which has a torsen differential and an full-time awd. Wondering if I can fit a rear locker without binding the awd system
Stock front and rear differentials are open, with an electronic locking torsen center differential. I had a shop go in and regear my front/rear diffs to 4.88 gears and put in air lockers while they were in there. 2010+ 4 runner limited shares the center locker/AWD system with the GX460(2010+), which is very similar to the 470 (03-09 like I have). The locker can’t bind the AWD system system if used properly. Only use the locker when you’re off road and you’ll be fine.
Haha, watch the more recent videos i did at John Bull trail. The GX is a beast and kept up with some crazy SAS rock crawlers no problem. The Tacoma long wheel base helps in some cases and not in others. This video showed a section that really favored the LWB of the taco.

Ok so I wasn’t the only one who thought that part was crazy difficult!
Hell yeah. Definitely hit me up next time u go
100% bro! All plated up now ✅ lol
Wooohoooo let’s go!
Where did you get the tire holder for the GX? Looks like it mounted to the factory bumper?
It mounts to the frame! Check out Restless off-road: www.restlessoffroad.com/product-page/full-swing-out-bolt-on
Any info in lockers price and installation and a the shop that installed them ?

Why the versus bro?! It ain’t a battle 😂
Just trying to hit the search terms bro. What should I call it instead?
@@lexus_offroad_adventures clout chasing

What are the neon cables around trucks at end?
It’s the Morrflate tire inflator/deflator system! Makes it so all tires are the same pressure. Great for airing up/down: bit.ly/3W6MjQV
Haha that was a great day. Still upset we all decided wasn't best to keep going.
Hah yeah might have been a loooong day if we did tho. Good times 🤙
What kind of tire pressure were you running? Just curious those Patties seemed pretty hard, but good stuff either way.
Yeah maybe 18psi wasn’t low enough. I’ll definitely bring it down next time

I did a video on how our drivetrain works in case you’re worried about binding: th-cam.com/video/eqcwKh5HoTw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, I literally thought that i was done for without being able to install rear locker . You just gave me good hope and I'll check out the vid
I've said before. I love your truck ...but 35s are too big
Lol not with a regear! Just need to trim a bit more …
Watching this makes me want to sell my GX 😢
