I took the GX470 on dishpan springs to see if it could keep up with the jeeps. It didn't make it out unscathed but I was able to drive home afterward.

Seeing a guy in a Lexus stacking rocks with a GoPro mount on his head would make my day! 😂 Definitely subbed!
All things considered the scariest part might be that HF jack. 😲
That GX is a beast!!
I found your channel when I had my c5 z06. I just recently sold that car to get a 4runner and ended up with a gx470 haha.

Literally same here, but I had a GTI before.
Awesome demo of GX 470. Thanks for making this video.
Wow this is really impressive, not only the gx but all the work you did to set it up as well as bringing the right tools on the trail
I think he got a lot more help than what was recorded. That's 7 out of 10 trail. Lexus is a basic snow ride on pavement. But pretty impressive driving where jeeps thrive.
damn that was epic. you can really drive through some tough roads. great work
Wow this is awesome man! You got guts!
Time for new steels bumpers. Nice work on the trail
I am totally impressed!
Great trail. I did it for the first time end of last year
Thans for letting me see what my gx470 is capable of. I'm going to make mine last and not beat it. This is why I bought one with no mods .
Good video amigo
This dude is crazy. Sometimes you just gotta send it lol.
Absolute legend
What kind of winch do you have. Wow amazing video crazy
For sale, all highway miles never taken off road😄 I really enjoyed this video 👍
This has got to be the best car video I've seen in weeks, even though i just marathonned a season of roadkill.

Wow, thanks! I had only 2 hours to throw this edit and voiceover together. There was over 100gb of footage from the trip!
Rose awesome videos man what rims do you have I wanna get the same ones for my GX also I’m still on the stock suspension, keeping it till it breaks and I’ll upgrade whats the largest size tire you recommend on stock suspension? Thanks man!
Real man out there. Fantastic
Awesome, thanks for upload.. Just got an 07 GX. I'm curious, at 15:00 doesn't look like your ATRAC was working. Does it? I've seen it engage in other vids and you can see the brake modulate. Or did I miss you explain that somewhere? I'm anxious to get a wheel in the air to see how it feels.

You are correct, this was driver error (me). ATRAC only works in first gear... I didn't know this until after I drove this trail. I probably could have climbed that obstacle without the winch had I known this. My FJ cruiser made it up there no problem without the winch. Enjoy your gx!
Cool ride through, nice job making it through. Are you thinking of adding any other plates under it or do you think it doesn’t really need it?

I think with 35" tires I will be fine and have the clearance I need. Just need to get around to modifying the GX to fit the bigger tires.
That guy with the 4th gen.... geez . Lol
I dont think LExus did all this off road testing with the GX, great content as always Zent! thanks brotha

Putting the GX to work
great video, and way to use the GX! I have a GX on 33's as well (sliders on order). I enjoy the WTF looks you get on the trail when you wheel a lexus :D
What steering wheel are you rocking? Need to replace my clock spring and like the look of whatever that is your rocking.

@ 18:00 did he engaged the Down hill assistant / DAC?
Quick question, were you running with center diff locked? It did not seem Atrac tried to kick in. I have found Atrac more active with center diff unlocked. Just my experience i know its 50/50 with people saying lock center diff while climbing, I only lock the center diff during loose sand, or mud when I need higher RPM and wheel speed to get me through stuff. I have tried climbing the same sketchy section with diff locked and found it way more difficult versus unlocked center diff. Same climb center diff locked resulted in more wheel spin and Atrac not adding me.

I think center locked allows more slip before atrac turns on. Which can be beneficial sometimes but also not in other situations.
who makes those rock sliders? they look great

Gx460 fan with a 3” on 34” with a winch. Curious why you popped the hood before winching? Can you not get to the freespool lever? cut a couple of the plastic grill fins and you should be able to get your hand in there.

Sometimes people will winch with the hood up to protect the windshield in case the winch breaks. It could also be because of the freespool lever though.
