GX 460 is amazing. Durability reliability and off-road capability all wrapped in luxury. Great video and inspiring for myself another GX owners for the aftermarket parts..
Agree, it’s a great off roader and they’ve been over landing for years under it’s original name plate, the Land Cruiser Prado and they come with a manual and diesel options
The GX doesn't come with a manual or diesel options, only the Prado does. I've heard that diesel is having issues though and lots of people overseas actually swap the v8 into their diesel Prado.
Because it’s already an accepted mall crawler, and how many of us decide to wheel a rig straight off the showroom floor? I already did exactly what he is talking about doing. I bought a 460 for my wife to cart kids around and when I get her something else I’ll start building my overlander.
@@RCGJR_ its no so much the cost, it's the range... you have to carefully map out your gas range at 13mpg... lol at 36mpg you kinda have more range freedom and less range anxiety
This is Great! I have the CBI bumper, sliders and skid plates already on the way. Has Lexus come up with a method of recalibrating the speedo with the installation of larger tires?
All I need is for CBI to make a dual swing out bumper. I called a few years ago and they said they are not planning to make one. Hope this changes your mind CBI.
Excellent platform for Overlanding. Also geared lower than the 4Runner, 3.91:1 axle ratio’s vs 3.73:1 on 4Runner. I love my Pro but would consider owning a GX460 or should I say a Lamdcruiser Prado.
Rico I have the metal tech rear bumper on my 2017 Lexus GX, it's on the heavy side, but solid as a tank, no issues at all, on the pricey side tho, but it's 100% made in USA, I got the stage two, without the Jerry tank mounts, I'm about to order the ironman front bumper, dobison makes good products for Lexus too
Cool video but you forgot to talk about the most important thing, how is that spare wheel and tire held to the rear swing out door? GX doesn’t have that in North America. Only on the Prado 150 elsewhere in the world
I believe I saw in another video (at Overland Mtn West), that its the JW Offroad carrier. And if so, R4T has an installation video on their UA-cam channel.
@@erikh2325 It was not JW Offroad Carrier, it was labeled "HigherGround Fabrications" and then had a ACC Garage bump plate like the JW. No results searching for HigherGround on the interwebs.
What model light is on that front bumper. I am seriously considering copying that setup because it is way cool and I have that exact truck. It is really the only bumper I have seen that truly compliments that truck perfectly
The bumper is CBI's Covert bumper and the light is a Rigid one but I'm unsure of the model. You could probably go on their website and find the 40" lights and it'd be there.
I have a GX460 and had a covert front bumper installed by a well known professional shop...The sides of the OEM GX bumper are flapping in the wind out of control when driving. Is this something that is talked about at all?
Hi! We just got a GX for overlanding in Colorado. What winch was on that setup? Is the under armor steel or aluminum? We are going to use it around town when it snows too so I was wondering what to outfit our GX with. Thanks!

Just finishing my 2022 GX build…CBI covert bumper, rock sliders, rack, etc. Very similar to this. Question: how do you delete/turn-off the air bag suspension warning alert? Lexus wouldn’t help. Not an issue per se but annoying as hell.
Ugh, yeah no one knows about em ..freekin cat is outta the bag and you’re not gonna be able to find soccer mom trade ins for $16,000 anymore! I got two 2012’s.

Roughly $88,500 before tax and shipping and labor for install and give or take 3-5% buffer for pricing and items missed/not tabulated. Add it all up and it's safe to say it's somewhere between $95,000-108,000 OTD at MSRP.
@@brianwebb1984 That’s the way. A 5 year old 50k mile GX460 is basically the same price as a 4Runner of same age and miles. The Lexus doesn’t hold it’s value like the Toyota’s, most people don’t realize what this car really is and it’s used value reflects that. Buying used is the best option on these for an Overlanding/off-road setup.
Those gaudy grills make it impossible to make this look good with winch bumper lol. I'd pay to have the entire front swapped to look like a Land Cruiser Prado, then customize it
Why does everyone with Lexus or owns a Lexus to embarrassed to admit all the 4 runner parts are the same. Same frame and same suspension. The gx has the v8 nice features it won’t sway buyers admitting it.
Overheating isn't an issue unless doing a LOT of towing near the maximum capacity. Adding a trans cooler is super easy and helps drastically with this for anyone that does a lot of towing.
@@ForensicVoid I'll second that and add off road performance and reliability. Also, no one can forget the ignorant rear shock mount placement on the ZR2.
You’re about $10k high on base price at the dealer, and about 5mpg low for combined driving. Furthermore, building up one of these will often result in a better mpg rating than a 4Runner with the V6 because it is less of a strain on a more powerful drivetrain (look at the lifestyle overland long term comparison). But hey, don’t let those facts get in the way.

Why is his first thought to get the wife one of these? Lexus is at the show to prove this platform can hang with the others.
Why can't his wife be an overlander?
This platform has been already proven. For over a decade. More like lead not just hang lol.
He probably has his own overland rig. My guess is that his rig wont carry his whole family from what he said.

Yes we do installation, call our customer service team and they can get you scheduled

What affect does the CBI bumper have on aerodynamics, cabin acoustics, fuel efficiency?
It's silent but your fuel efficiency will take a little hit either due to aerodynamics or weight.
On a 2023 does it affect any of the sensors like proximity?
