    I love sleeping/overlanding in my 04 GX470. Lifted well.

      Nice! What lift? And what’s your sleeping setup like?

      I went with the old man emu, 3 inch lift with airbag delete freedom, upper control, arms and track bar correction. I went with a kit for the sleeping platform made of channel aluminum with plywood, top, folding, etc. from .GXBasecamp It was very cost-effective. It took me a little while to put together, but probably shouldn’t have and works incredible. Lots of storage underneath.

      Very nice! I've heard great things about both OME lift and the GX Basecamp platform. Sliders might be in our future too 👀

    ❤the content, my 2004 gx470 has the l driverside rear seat removed and use a tensioned sleeping cot. A Coleman geill and a 12v fridge round out my overlanding setup 😂😂😂

      @RoadsOptional I love the theory of take it slow and get it all eventually, not all at once like you all were sayin!!! You got a sub here! Looking forward to the infotainment part!!!
