I just got a GX, and it’s impressive how you’ve done all the mods i was plaining on doing and now I can see how it looks. Even the steering wheel choice. Anyways thanks for the video. waiting for the next one. PS: the don’t step on snek patch is hilarious.
@max_mella nice, appreciate it! I just switched to a different coverado seat covers too that are waaaay nicer imo and contour better, did a dual cup holder install by the gear shift, wrapped the orange part on tail lights with red which ended up looking way better and going to do a molle panel install that attaches to the ML speaker on the dash this weekend. And vinyl just arrived for the partial camo wrap. Planning on baking my headlights apart on the labor day weekend unless I end up roadtripping instead.
@@LeoTheRussian Oh god, I wish I could see how it looks. I'm following you on IG, please share the pictures with us! I'm deeply interested in the coverado seat covers, to be honest. I'm thinking about getting the leather from Lseat and replacing at least the front seats. But if the coverado looks good on yours I might change my mind.
@max_mella yeah I'll post up an interior update video once I get the molle installed. Should have time to shoot it in the next week or two. DM me in insta if you want and I'll send the pic of the seats
You are a very talented guy. I live in RI, I just bought a GX-470 2008; I want to keep it stock, but nice looking. If you would have been living closer, I would have brought it to you and pay you to do the modifications. That’s just what I am looking for. The one that I purchased has kind of weird color, but doesn’t look too bad, it is uncommon, it is called dessert sage metallic. It is like a good light green color. 😊
@alonsomora3016 desert sage is an awesome color. I wanted something in a different color, but this one was zero rust cali/ga truck with good records so jumped on it. And someone else did the heavy lifting like lift and steering wheel. I did the easy stuff. Camo wrap I'll do solo though
Very nice build. I highly recommend the strut upgrade for the rear tailgate and Etsy has some 3D printed cup holder extensions for the front cup holders. They both work great!
@@SavageDot001 appreciate it. I got the bluedog double cupholder installed by the transfer case shifter and deep 3d printed one over the stock dual one. Makes a world of difference. And added a molle panel from crossindustries above the nav unit
@SalladNeyugn it's from Eldar Karimov in Kazakshtan. You can search him on FB in GXOR group - quite a few have bought steering wheels from him. He's gave me like 30 different ones to pick from and can customize logos and lights. Most buttons do work except lane control/guided cruise since GX470 never had those. But yeah plug and play. Eldar is also on Instagram - prado120_multirul
Funny enough that's my next video. Longer drives GX for me for a mile especially with the dual zone climate control and V8 power. Montero wins with interior space and prefer the black interior over beige. Plus being all modded especially with rear tire being out back I def like how it looks more at least for now. I do enjoy having both in the driveway!
Dacron Dashboard Cover for like $20 on Amazon. Wanted something that I can attach patches to that wouldn't glare (that's why I don't want to fix the current dash too much - glares so hard). Had to cut a hole for light sensor and dash speaker.
Coverado. In GXOR group on Facebook you can search for them and see how more of those look. I did pull them off a couple days ago and want to mess around fixing up my seats and might replace with another set, just a bit different design - don't like the flaps on the bottom seats specifically. But they do fit really good.

do you have link for the steering wheel? It looks great! Is it plug and play? and do the buttons on the steering wheel work?

The GX looks really good as is with all the mods you did. Which you like better tho the Montero or GX?

@@LeoTheRussian awesome bro looking forward for the next video
I live in Camilla GA, how much for the gx?
@@andrewpearce4249 wasn't planning on selling it as it's awesome but if the price is right. What are you offering?
Do you have a link for the shifter,love it
@@TonyAlvarez-q9n I think it was some special deal or something. But just look for GX470 or Prado 120 shifters on aliexpress
I don't see a vlog from russia on overlanding stuff.
What dash mat is that?
Dacron Dashboard Cover for like $20 on Amazon. Wanted something that I can attach patches to that wouldn't glare (that's why I don't want to fix the current dash too much - glares so hard).

@@LeoTheRussian Thanks for the reply brotha. I bought one from Aliexpress, but it’s too wavy and not flat.
Паджеро куда дел?
Дома он. Это мы в Smoky Mountains гоняли. Время было так что решил видео доделать
@@LeoTheRussian спасибо за интересные видео, успехов тебе русский американец)
@@АлексейИбаев-г3м тьфу тьфу все идёт нормально нынче. Так что время на новые приключения и видео будет.
