Would You Take This Off Road?? Lexus GX 550
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Overlanding has been about going to uncomfortable places in the most comfortable way. Is this GX 550 going overboard with that concept or is it the future of overland?
We will dive into what makes this Lexus run and how off road capable it is, right off the lot.

That generic rock n roll wasn’t loud enough. I could almost here you.
Haha... We got carried away!
This is now my dream vehicle because of this build. I already liked it, but now it must be mine
Get yourself one!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB I'm sitting here hitting refresh waiting for your build video to drop. I've got an Overtrail Plus, and can't wait to see your solutions for improving approach and departure angles, and clearances while preserving articulation and suspension travel! I'm absolutely in the market for some upgrades. I've exclusively owned various Landcruisers for the past 35 years (LX570 most recently), and the GX550 is easily my favorite. Thanks for the content.

@@jhodge999 We just filmed the first of many videos showing the upgrades we are offering! Check out social as well for more teasers!
Great vehicle. On my short list and your build is what I was looking to do.
You will love the new GX. It really is an impressive vehicle!
It's similar to the engine in the Tundra but it's not the same. Some similarities but some major differences.
Well said. We love this motor and it performs really well.
Jesus, who thought this music was a good idea? Seriously, it does nothing but distract from what you were saying....
The GX 550 rocks... I love the green
No wood trim inside is disappointing for a “luxury” vehicle. Hopefully they add that back in.
Do the build already! Love my 550. It's a beast. Can't wait to see what you do with this one.
We love it too! The build is almost complete
I can't wait to see what you come up with for off-road bumpers and rock sliders. I've built mine out as far as I can go, so I'm waiting for bumpers, skid plates and a beefier set of rock rails to come to market. So far I've added a full size roof rack, Lexus rock rails, Westcott preload collar lift, Toyo Open Country AT III 35x12x17 tires, Method MR3 17x8.5x +35 offset bead grip wheels and a PPF wrap. But I'm dying to get high clearance off-road bumpers. Hopefully with a swing out tire carrier on the rear bumper as I can't fit a 35" spare under the truck. BTW, when I put on the Toyo 35's my ground clearance went from 8.9" to 10.5"!
Wow you have a great build going so far! We will have the sliders and skids very soon as well as the bumper options. Stay tuned!
Definitely following this build
Great Stuff!!! Shure would love to see the rear dual swing bumper with folding tables, the rear molle panels & somewhere to put a wench in the front bumper 🙂.
Those parts are coming!
So excited to see what you guys do with it! I always thought it looked so much better than the new 250
The GX definitely has a more refined look. It looks more off-road to us as well.
*Lexus GX is always the answer... great review❤*
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD yes but only 460. Gx 550 is extremely horrible. Recently tested it. Feels like lexus badge in toyota product. Super super cheap. Drive lexus gx 460 luxury materials not cheap materials like 550. They messed up big time. But there people blindly throw money in these badges
This generic music really stole the show. Maybe don’t do that in future videos?
Amateurs!
Agree, music should not be in videos that are informational.
Agree. The music was so obtrusive I couldn’t finish the video.
It should not be so loud, at least.
Crazy how these channels still do this, very distracting.
Awesome wheels and tires What offset are the 1552 wheels? Can’t wait to see finished product as it already looks amazing
I believe these wheels are around a +25mm offset.
Beautiful congratulation! Please release the bull bar for the covert bumper on the 4th gen Tacoma!
Tacoma bull bar is coming soon!
I would take this over the new land cruiser
We need more time in the GX but we are leaning this way too just because of the motor in the GX.
Great video! Subscribed!
Cant wait for the next video with upgrades on this beast.
It's coming!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB Rough eta?
@@_SKDK_ New updates coming very soon as well as release of products!
The Volume is waaay to loud for the commentary. Besides that, good cinematography
Sorry- music volume.
Hopefully you have some good clearance with this wheel setup. 😅
This truck will actually go to a different tire and wheel combo soon to accommodate 35" tires.
Saw primsu already has some accessories on line. Are you going to use non CBI products or non PRINSU products?
Yes Prinsu has some items already and CBI has a whole slew of products coming including; sliders, skid plates, and front and rear bumpers!
@@CBIOFFROADFAB looking forward to seeing the new product line !
Does the factory rack get noisy on the highway?? I wish there was more info on it
The factory roof rack does create some noise on the highway. It isn't horrible however. The Prinsu rack is actually more quiet than the factory roof rack so that is a plus!
Can't wait to see what you do with this!
Soft-tec seats aka pleather is a HUGE Lexus miss. We want LEATHER seats!!!
Yeah give the people real leather! Especially on the Lexus!
Same price 2021 LC200 or GX550 trail + which one would buy?
Having driven the GX550 I would choose it every time. It is just more refined in our opinion than the LC200. Both are exceptional vehicles however!
Really was super interested and wanted one of these, but price and first year growing pains made me to with 2024 4Runner.
Almost did the same thing, but I snagged the GX and extended warranty for peace of mind. Enjoy your ride!
With the 8.7" of clearance,r eviewers are easily bottoming this out on easy trails, so no I would not take it off road. The competition has 9.4" or more of ground clearance.
Landcruisers have always had this kind of ground-clearance... it's fine
Very true. Once the lift and 35" tires are on it we will have adequate clearance.
You over did it on the music. Very Distracting !!
Information is pretty lacking, there are tons of reviews on these already. We should be hearing about the actual build plans and not just a run down of features majority of us already know about. For example do you plan on putting it on a course and showing us the articulation vs possible rub. Lose the music.
More info coming! We have rock sliders and skid plates currently on the vehicle! Roof rack as well. Bumpers are in the works!
In person it’s the nicest new car I’ve seen on the road honestly . Too rich for my blood as anything other than a dream car unfortunately
We agree! Its is one beautiful vehicle! It is quite expensive though.
@@CBIOFFROADFAB I got a 22 frontier p4x and I’m loving that thing and the accessories you guys make 👍
Would like to see it with a kangaroo bar and winch, extra battery, snorkel and bigger fuel tanks, radio and antennae. It’s the only way it will survive off road down here in Australia. 🇦🇺😀👍
Yes that is the way to build this!
twin turbo and it is only 349 HP ? must be a baby v6.
"mild turbo" like "mild hybrid" i guess.
Same motor as the Tundra? That’s too bad. Sounds like those engines are going to blow. Just like the Tundra and Lexus LX600. Get ready for a recall.
Hopefully not! From what we hear from Toyota/Lexus this motor won't be affected. Time will tell!
Do you know the wheel offset as shown?
we believe it is +25mm offset
Great, thank you!!
Whats the offset on those wheels
We don't know for sure but think they are around a +12.
@@CBIOFFROADFAB any rubbing?
@@pclutch Not the way it sat in this video. It will have 35" tires now and a property lift so it still should be clear of rubbing.
Nice Lexus, Sh't music
it's a $85k vehicle now...
Crazy right!
And 10$k more you will get better luxury vehicle lx 600 😂
that's bmw x3 / x5 territory.
its a miss on the tires.
This truck will actually be getting 35" tires soon so that may give it the stance you would like to see... Stay tuned!

супер лекус гх 550
Those wheels/tires sticking out so far look so stupid
To each their own. The wheel and tire combo is actually changing on this truck once the lift is installed so it should sit even better!
tires too big, and stick too far out. Looks like a mall crawler.

What’s the offset on the wheels?
+25mm Offset we believe
