Finally someone had the guts to take their stock 460 on that trail. I’ve been too chicken to take mine...only my old Tacoma. Nice! Now get a lift so I can be inspired to get mine lifted.

Just a couple of old fashioned down to earth guys, out having a bit of fun. Grwat to see. Thanks for the video and the entertainment. Well done

GX is a fun car, I have 2015, used it stock many times, scrapped a bunch of times but never got stuck. Recently threw 2” Dobinson on it and KO2s and it’s amazing now and the ride feels so much more comfortable, GX is a tank

2" goes a long way.

My skid is your gain my friend.

The color on that 4runner is the best color Toyota ever made.

This was a great review of the trail on a stock truck. Paul seems to be a fun buddy to hang out with - you two should make more videos together!

I came across your videos today. Thank you for the chuckles

Came across your channel from an old ih8mud post about tires and thought it was entertaining enough to come and subscribe. And now I'm glad I did, based on initial viewing it looks like you're based out of Arizona, which is where I'm located.

You guys are funny as heck. Paul's 3rd gen 4R looks immaculate. Same color and year as mine just in way better shape. Also picked up a GX460 today to add the stable. This video made me so happy to see you both rock your vehicles. I'll have to convince my buddy to co-trip in both vehicles and do the same trail you guys did.

I'm going from a 4th gen 4Runner to a GX 460 soon. Awesome video.

thank you. I like seeing what the stock vehicle can do

My guy is Wheelin in sandals with socks. Wheelin level expert 👍🏻

I've done those trails in a stock jeep liberty no damage. Glad you did it in the gx. Fun to watch you on the video.

The Broken Arrow trail was our favorite Sedona trail. We did it in a lifted Wrangler. So much fun!

Love it, man!

No lift needed, new bumper with skid plate, sliders, you’re good.

Love it- way to go for it! Just lifted our GX460 2” (6612s plus airbag sensor trick) after our own trial by fire in the Mojave. Stock skids probably look like yours now. I pretty much feel like if you are at or below stock height of most off-roaders your underbelly becomes a street sweeper for sharp obstacles and loose stuff. Others love it when you come by and sweep away the debris and round off the sharp rocks for them.

Great job!!👍 We did Broken Arrow last year in wifey's Jeep Rubicon Hardrock. Now it's time to take my GX460! Although I do have about a 2.5 to 3 inch lift on mine with 285/70/17, so hopefully I won't scrape as much. 😁🤞

Great video on the GX and 4Runner. 2001 and 2002 4Runners have early version of ATRAC but no rear locker. Awesome to see another GX on the trail. I have a lightly modified 05 GX470 (1.5" lift, aftermarket 2.5" shocks and rear 2" coil spring conversion with airbags for towing) and a 99 4Runner (supercharged, rear locker, and same suspension setup as my GX on a lighter vehicle). Sometime I wish the earlier 4Runners also come with ATRAC. I resort to left foot braking method for the open front diff since the 99 4Runner doesn't come with ATRAC. Also I flipped the 3rd gen 4Runner's hitch (if you have the 1996 to 1998 hitch since those are not welded) to get a little bit of departure angle since that hitch has a tendency to be a pivot point when going up/down steep hills. Both are pretty capable, but the GX has the advantage with the ATRAC and the 4Runner is surprisingly more compact and easier to maneuver. Both are also very easy to work on, share some of the same parts (oil filter, oil, diff oil, xfer case oil, xfer case oil), some suspension components are similar as well. Plus parts are available and cheaper compared to a Land Cruiser.

Oh man, there is a ton of stuff in there. thanks for the insights. I didn't realize later 3g's have ATRAC so I'll try to correct that at some point and give you a shout out. Good insights on the hitch flip too. I'm overlanding with Paul next weekend (video likely) and I'll mention it. His looks pretty low because he has a body lift that exposed more of it. Thanks for the insight and watching!

The stair case reminded me of a time when I was younger and went down an entire double black ski run on my butt!!

Good job👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Crawl control is a great addition for the gx460. I just tested it on that trail. Glad I got rid of the DAC.

With all the sliding with locked brakes that looked more like an escalator than a staircase. An uncaring, indifferent, rocky escalator. Beautiful trail for a GX with fairly basic (affordable) upgrades, thanks for sharing!

Wow man enjoying life!

Loving the video's might be worth looking into 285/70's or a lift. spacer/leveling if you wanna be cheap.

great job with the GX. that's why it comes with skids under there. i'm sure you did nothing but add a little trail markings with no real damage. you can always upgrade to solid 3/8" plate armor if you get tired of dinging up the 3 mil stock set.

Zomg... go SLOW... our stock 2021 GX460 lives off road... the issue is the front differential, which has a stock skid plate. The only thing you are doing wrong is going too fast. Go 4L, 1st gear... and sloooow down/or up. If you hit the front diff... just sloooowly slide over it... did I say slow? 😆

Another comment, those trails were built by pink jeep tours. They are designed to entertain, but aren't all that dangerous to equipment. Why build a trail for a business that will wreck your fleet? They didn't. But ya gotta ask yourself, is my rig as good as or better than those pink ones? If so, go enjoy Disneyland, else be careful like you did!
