I Buy A 2004 Lexus GX470 With Over 200,000 Miles And Immediately Lift It & Hit The Trails!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Tijmen just bought a 2004 Lexus GX 470 to start as an overlanding build to share with you on this channel. He has just fitted a Dobinson lift kit and full suspension refresh removing the factory adjustable damper and air springs to a fully static system.
We decided to join a local group of overlanding enthusiasts for some fun out on the trails just outside of Boulder, CO to shakedown the new GX on the snowy and icy trails in the beautiful Colorado mountains.

    Lol broke it on the first trail first trip out. These guys off roading skills are on par with a 16 year old kid taking his dads truck out to a trail for the first time ever.

    Haha, I was about to say the same thing. I've never seen anyone offroad like that. With that style of driving, the car will not last very long.

    But they have 300$ traction pads! These "overland" guys are ridiculous. See tons of 4runners with those stupid $400 side mounts for the rear side windows. One guy had a single flare mounted to his. Just silly.

    Did you bent anything on the front, maybe a tie rod? I don’t think the power steering overheating could be the cause. Either way love the GX I got an 07 with 230k miles and just added a Dobinsons lift kit as well 👍

    I just purchased a 06 with 216k miles for 9400. Needs some work on the cosmetics side but I love the power over the 2019 Tacoma I just sold. The Tacoma with E rated 32s was a dog, even with my speed manual.

Paid $18,000 last year to replace my smashed 2014 Durango. Ya insurance sucks bigly thx to Lefty Ontario government destroying our insurance industry.

    PLUS this one- your o4 has the BARN DOOR-- the 460s most all have the two part lift and drop gate-- which wear out quickly and get in the way-- and FALL on you after a bit.. :) 470 is must MUCH BETTER!!!! I have one coming soon- and am having lockers put in front and rear, and an additional gas tank installed where the spare sits to give me 56 gallons instead of 23- also body armor, red dog bumper- and hitch mounted spare carrier.. oh- and updating the computer.. oh- and I almost forgot-- ARB dual Aircompressor and full hose kit MOUNTED under the front hood.. :)
