Nice build. I also have the 550OT+. Did the Westcott design pre load lift on method 17’s, Nitto 34’s. No rubbing issues. Was looking for a new set of rock/ step sliders. The wife needs a little help getting in and out and the factory sliders are too tight to the body for her to step on comfortably.
Great build! For those of you looking at Goal Zero, be sure to check the competition as it's not even close to the best for your money and battery tests have shown their cells are subpar. Do your own comparisons first folks. EcoFlow has an alternator charger that, IMO, works quite well keeping even the biggest batteries topped off and puts closet to 50 Amps into the batteries.
Agreed - EcoFlow is great stuff. I use a Delta 2 Max (with extra battery) for my home backup and then take it with me camping. Runs fridge for 5 days no problem. Awesome black friday deal on it now!
Thanks for the info Jason! Definitely do your research, Goal Zero is really the only experience I've had in this realm for the past decade so it's great having other perspectives in the comments.
Thanks for the presentation. I am coming from a 2010 Runner Trail Edition with 33” tires , lift, DeMello front bumper. Shopping both models. Good to hear about the ass massaging seats 👍 look forward to comparison video.
As a GX550 owner after testing the LC250, I prefer the GX power train. The LC felt gutless at freeway speed. Also in stock OT trim the suspension is variable based on driving mode. Not available on LC.
Also you mention the suspension upgrades with respect to their beefier composition and the additional alignment opportunities they offer. What if anything are you doing to preserve or improve stock articulation?
With a properly composed suspension setup, articulation will only get better. We'll see what the articulation limits are post-lift but don't see major modification being needed to accomplish what this build will see.
Right?! It's had me hooked since the reveal with that Earth colored Overtrail. So damn nice. Love me a late series hundy too. Black/gray 07s are droolworthy.
Thanks for the excellent video and candid insights. (Subscribed!) I'm mulling a build for my own Overtrail+, and have been stalking CBI for months. What kind of improvements have you seen in ground clearances, and approach, departure, and break-over angles?
This hasn't seen much beyond intermediate obstacles since finishing. I don't have numbers (hopefully CBI will provide) but if you look at side-by-side comparisons of their armor against the factory trim there's improvement in every category.
Haha I wish I had time to do more of these! They take a lot of effort and still have a day job to contend with. But the next one should come much quicker.
There wasn't much testing done with the 33s before being sent up to CBI, but I'm fairly confident there would have been no issues after we inspected post-mounting.
The CBI front bumper shows a built in light bar. Does CBI select that light bar brand or does the customer select the brand? What brand light bar is installed? I’m partial to KC. Thx!
You'll want to confirm with Magnaflow, but I'm almost certain it's carb compliant for a few reasons: - Magnaflow is based in California - This is a cat-back system which retains all factory emissions equipment - The prototype was installed on a California-owned GX550 Definitely check though for peace of mind!
What model Warn winch fit under that new CBI bumper? How and where was the SPod controlled installed inside?. Have you considered installing KC rear chase light bar? Or a Prinsu rear ladder?
Thank you! Total process was about 6 months as many of the parts were in development as we were building. As for upgrade cost, most parts are listed in the description with links to price/order. Expect $15-20k in parts as it sits now. Labor is an additional fee. I have done builds for third parties, including this GX550 but it's not something I market. If you're interested I'm up for a discussion.
Great build, great vehicle and awesome video. Appreciate the attention to detail. I'm hoping to emulate many parts of this build in the coming months on a new GX. Any thoughts on that rhino rack after beating on it for a while? Was the tent pretty stable up there?
Thank you for the kind words and glad I could help! Full disclosure: I work for Rhino-Rack so definitely feel free to get more data points. The Rhino-Rack is a beast. These go through pretty rigorous testing in Sydney including vibration wind and crash. The rooftop tent on top was hard to notice - couldn't be more secure.
I've used General Tire exclusively for the past decade or so. I've done some work with them full disclosure, but I've always loved the style and performance of the X3s and their A/T X all terrain is one of the best all terrains I've ever used. Plenty of good options out there but GT has always felt at home on these builds.
Thank you! Yeah right now I haven't seen a bull bar as the factory trim separation provides an easy upgrade in the style of what you see here, and there are a couple others doing something similar. I'm sure soon enough CBI and others will look at a more aggressive replacement.
Awesome rig, I have a 24 Tundra with V6 twin Turbo, coming from a previous 2019 Silverado V8, so I have concerns about the longevity of this 6 banger, but as it's in it's third year of production and It's a Toyota, I'm optimistic
Yeah many people were reasonably spooked after the Tundra recall, but given that was a manufacturing QC issue and not inherent to the design of the engine itself, I'm inclined to be optimistic.
For the winch, did you have to relocate the solenoid box or does it fit in its normal location on top of the winch? And if it fits, how do you reach it for the switch and clutch?
@@Elhamonyou21 I cover it a couple times in the video but the spacer lift was mainly used to get the 35s installed and we are swapping it out for a full Dobinsons suspension soon to fully solve for that.
@Outworld ah my bad, awesome to hear the new suspension is coming. Excited to see what else can be done with this platform. I feel like the Lexus is the better value than the Toyota brother
You're pronouncing Fascia as the term in medicine to describe a type of tissue that surrounds everything. The common usage for building fronts and structural aesthetics is like FAY-SEE-AH
Mentioned in the video regear is definitely recommended on the current setup. And yes speedometer usually runs a few mph slower after 35 upgrade. Always good to have GPS like Google Maps as a check just to know how much it's off.
Can the GX use regular unleaded gasoline? The Landcruiser requires premium. I had a Land Rover that would not run on regular unleaded, it lost power and knocked terribly. I dont want another one of those. I live in South America, and just because it says "91 octane" doesnt make it so.
@@Outworld Awesome man, thank you! Do you think it would be a tight fit with another person in there such as a girlfriend or wife? Im single but it would be nice to have something slightly future proof to fit my dog and an additional person even if its not ideal/ massive
@ sick! Thank you. I have a forester I’m turning into a budget base camp style rig and the XL tents are just a tad bit too big for the roofline and look awkward, but I was concerned about future proofing. My golden is similar in size so I’m put to ease. I’m eyeing a similar LC or GX in the coming year or two for a worthy upgrade! It’s just easier to carry a dirtbike on that frame compared to a upgraded suspension forester 😂
Mileage will vary depending on location/labor rates but safe to say $10k is a decent starting range for all of the work to be done at the shop. You can tally up the parts in the description and add it to the cost of a GX for a good estimate there.
12MPG LOL. I am getting 16+ on my stock Bronco Raptor that comes stock with 37” KO2s. Betting this rig cost approximately the same as the BRaptor and no comparison for power or suspension.
Congratulations but for $90k+ I am definitely not looking at Ford. You may have power and suspension stock, but you can't touch Toyo/Lexus quality and reliability - end of story.
Having driven behind it, brake visibility is still totally functional. Keep in mind we are the first build to prototype some of this stuff, part of the process.
I don't see the point in buying a new vehicle without a V8. The simplicity and the grunt is tried and tested. Too bad because the GX looks really good.
I think it's time to start opening your mind to the future. I'm a huge V8 fan (4Runner, Mercedes G, etc.) and was equally disappointed on the announcement on both the GX and LC. But after driving both Im slowly becoming a believer. The efficiency you feel in both of those engines make the others just feel kind of tired. The big debate is longevity, but if the new power plants hold up like the 2UZ did then I'm all for it.
The GX is built in the Takara factory in Japan, the strictest in Japan not in the mass-produced tundra blocks in the US. They don't mess around. Amazing how uneducated trolls just keep on ripping lip on things they don't know
Wow such a clean build! Dream truck! I think the design details on the Westcott roof rack are are nicer than the Rhino. Obviously partnering with CBI you couldn’t use the Westcott stuff even if you liked it better.
Loving the GX, but all the suspension upgrades are unnecessary, why would you need 35s on this anyways? Its looks disproportionate and I am sure it rides like shit. And don't tell me any of you know and understand more than a Toyota/Lexus about design of the offroad vehicle.
There's a lot to unpack here. First, a spacer lift is not a suspension upgrade. Full suspension shortly will be an upgrade. I think it looks amazingly proportionate but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Rides great and will ride even better with the new Dobinson system. For that last part of your comment, this vehicle is not designed to be the best off roader it can be. It's designed to hit a balance of roadworthiness, safety, comfort, and a level off road capability that serves the majority of their buyer base. Increasing your tire diameter to increase clearance is an objective benefit in this world, and things like suspension accommodate that direction. Hope this helps.
What a silly narrative. I've had several high dollar builds that i've used extensively around the country. I don't go looking for body damage, but I've never felt limited in how I use it. $10 if you can tell me which mall the last sectioned was filmed at.
Lol no way this is 100k. Stock barebones models are off the lot for around 100k. The whole build incl parts and labor for this are around 150k out the door in its current state. This kind of build is for very affluent types, not normal ppl
These guys are RANK AMATEURS. Too lazy to find the right wheel offset, they blindly go with 0 mm, and then realize they need to disassemble things from the frame to make it work. Worse, they say they have no idea what these things are and imply you should do the same. Unbelievable!. If they just went with 40 mm offset they would not have had any problems.
Haha the wheels were installed back in May and we were one of the first people in the state to take delivery. Trial and error when you're one of the first, take a xanax buddy.
@@Johnny_Utah187 they come with a normal rake from factory (lower in front). It's been reversed after spacer/amor which is getting corrected with full suspension swap.
