Reminds me of the 70's in New England, when people cared about others and went out on their broncos and blazers pulling, plowing and shoveling folks that inevitably got themselves into life threatening trouble, that said, best wishes in all you guys do, faith in humanity restored!!!
Just bought an 08 with 75kmiles. That snow footage has me praying for a blizzard lol
You know a vehicle is great when your sorest complaint is the center console size :D
😂😂😂
People always complaining about the Toyota/Lexus infotainment is dinosaur age (Dated)
I would rather drive a boring reliable cars Toyota/Lexus than driving a fancy (infotainment) console vehicles that always in the mechanics shop for repairs.
Fancy infotainment really keep them busy while waiting for a tow truck for their broken @śš vehicle in the side of the road. 😂
@@limelife7457 this is a BS argument F150/F250 have great infotainments and easily reach 500k miles without major issues
The biggest complaint is actually the 12 MPG... Go for a diesel Landcruiser that gets 25 MPG
@@hajjdawood anything Ford reaching 500k miles is a miracle. Calling it!
the FJ and the GX saving the community one pull at a time!
I've got the V8 Limited 4runner with the same engine, live in Michigan & love the weight & torque when pulling people out in snow... Many people forget that the Lexus is equally capable & comes standard with the 4.7... Love these platforms...
Totally! Thanks for watching!
As a fellow GX470 owner, I must say it combines a lot of things for me, ergonomics (nice comfort) and off road capabilities. One of the reasons I bought this SUV, was the side opening door. It helps, if you carry stuff on the roof.
Why not create a video of all of your snow rescues? That would be pretty cool! Very kind of you!!
Agree on everything except the seats. I’m 6 foot and 235 lbs and I find the seats to accommodate me very well. The arms rest do feel out of place. I usually use the passenger side arm rest and lift the driver side.
Thank you for helping someone in need. I have a Pajero Sport with a drawer in the back. It works so well!
This is an awesome build. Got a GS460 and I can attest that these make great power and have amazing reliability. Dope video!
I have a LX470. I love it. It's a total tank. Mine is stock except for some Goodyear Duratracs and the offroad capability is incredible. I have had zero issues with the AHC system and it really smooths out washboard trails.
Great video!
Indeed I have wanted a 4Runner for quite some time. But she I found the GX470 I was sold. Similar in several ways but definitely stands apart.
I also love the look how it stands apart as a extremely capable off-road vehicle. In all the GX videos I’ve watch that’s one point I have not heard made!
This one of the most awesome modified GX 460 video on UA-cam... Love it
Very Awesome. I've had my GX over a year and it's been a great unit. Camping has been a dream in it. I don't mind the back door latch, but I can't remember the last time I used my hand to lock it. Kick it with my foot! Great looking build!
Thanks and thats awesome! I need to try the foot kick method haha
Congrats on 2k! You did what took me two year in a month haha; seriously though can’t wait to see what the channel becomes!
Thanks so much!!
We all going to need one like this in the usa because Weather is changing as crazy snowing in the whole Country
Awesome build, great review, and thanks for pulling all those people out
Perfect combo
Toyota Prius & Lexus GX 470
I have to buy one of these!!! New gen though... this gave me a chub!
Canada here...nice, I'm taking tips for my wj... keep turning that wrench... one love
That b-roll at the beginning was masterful.
Totally agree with every pro and con! My kids have moved out so I removed my rear seats for more room. I like what you've done with the winch bumper and wheels, breaks up the white. I'm in the process of doing the same thing. Nice job on your GX!
What A Great Guy 😂👍👍
Helping others
PERFECT LEXUS 😍👍🏻
Awesome snow wheeling footage ! The bus footage might be a UA-cam first.....so cool !
Thanks 👍
Dang that stance is amazing. That build is perfect!
Bad ass GX470 right there!
This was awesome especially rescuing the bus, fantastic build with the mean headlights
Production quality is insane finally another dude from Alberta with some banger UA-cam content.
Thank you!!
Definitely looking to pair a GX with the GS and do an off-road build similar. Thank you for this channel (I will refer back to this).
I love the front bumper
Celestial video broth!
2 Mini Toyo helps pull out bus love it.
I think you have the most beautiful GX470. Awesome car!!!
Great video Logan King. This is an amazing video. I am thinking of getting a GX.
I have 33 now and seeing how the 35 looks, I know where I'm heading. Thank you your videos are an inspiration
Thank you!
Hey, David!
Just wanted to ask you cuz I basically have zero idea about this. How much should an entire set up this size cost factoring in the lift kit, wheels and tires, spacers etc cost?
How does it affect ride quality and handling? Thanks!
Best gx470/overland channel out. These vids are straight🔥🔥🔥👀
Thank you!!
I'm really glad to know I'm not the only one stuffing the crap out of my center console
That fj is clean af, saw this on Instagram
Absolutely just love everything about this vehicle from the color to the height to the way you spected out awesome job 🥰
Thank you 🤗
Great vid - I took out the GX in the Texas snow and it was just as good as my Jeep for providing traction!
I did the same here in Dallas! Pulled three vehicles out and never had an issue with traction. What I didn’t foresee was becoming the designated driver for family, friends, and neighbors. It’s a 2019 GX so I hadn’t really had the chance to put it through the hoops until snowmeggedon.
snow in Texas??? How is that possible with Global Warming 🤔 🤪
I want one...looks amazing
Can't wait for the snow again this year let's gooo!!!
Same here bro!
Cleanest GX on UA-cam!
Love your gx! It’s beautiful ❤️ awesome content! Keep up the good work
Thank you!!
That’s a great looking rig!!
1st video ive seen from this guy 1st thing i saw was a sti. Good lord u know you good when u got a Rig and a Speedster.
your build is so beautiful. I want this bad haha. Thanks for the great content
Real heroes helps people ...great job guys
Thank you!
I took my 04 GX as soon as I got it to the lexus dealer to check the rear heat problems. I stayed there for 3 hours and they told me there is no rear heat, only rear cool. I was so glad that there would be no one sitting in my back during Alberta winter.
my 460 has the strut and I thought-- of course it does. Seeing the 470 without it is a head scratcher.
We have two GX470's (2004 & 2009). Best kept secret in off-road/overland platform. No mods to speak of other than RCI skid plates yet. Great vids, great channel. New Subscriber. Thanks!
Agreed and thats awesome! Thanks!
Not a secret any more... hence the prices shooting up
Excellent idea, thanks.
Love your content. What gear are you in when you're in recovery mode? I apologize if this a duplicate question.
really cool build! love the headlights
New to the channel and I’m here for this GX 470 content
Awesome! More videos coming soon
Love the GX, but think u should include lack of power folding mirrors in the cons list.
Great video man. Can't believe how much snow Calgary got. That's nuts
Thanks yeah it was crazy!
thx for this video!
great build!
Best looking GX on YT brotha. Your GX makes me want to get one. The bumper is one of the nicest and wheel combo is perfect. Hard decisions between LX and GX. I like the LX for space but your rig alone probably made my decision.
Thank you man!! Yeah the lx would be nice for the space and unique build for sure!
nice looking snow build
This video makes me wanna move to Canada even more. Getting stuck in the snow seems like quite the fun experience there :)
Having a GX460 here in Quebec city, driving in snowstorm is incredibly fun.
Awesome job!
Love your build. Makes me want to get a gx 470.
Thanks!
Trying to figure out where to find your link to the headlights 🥴
Sick looking truck
Your front bumper is one of my favorite features. I don’t like the ones that stick way out front. Well done, well done indeed sir.
Fastest I’ve ever subbed to a channel. I’ve been wanting a GX470 for awhile now.
Man, that is a nice looking GX470
Thanks!
This is awesome. God bless you brother
Thank you and happy new year!
Definitely getting one of these now for an overlanding/road trip family car. I daily a Miata so I don’t care about gas mileage. Just want that space, reliability and off road capability for 7-10 grand.
Let’s goooooooo! ❄️ 👍👍❄️
Beast mode
Very Cool!
Bro, you're a hero on 4wheels. So cool!
🙏
I love the gx470
Had my 2008 GX470 just under a year now. It was great in the snow we had a week or so ago with the new Destination AT2 3 peak tires from Firestone. Thinking more of a beach build with mine for Surf fishing . Thinking a medium lift with Old Man Emu. Maybe some Vision Manx wheels.
The road warrior - The snow warrior
Stunning beast
Great build, I'm a Jeep guy but love the builds I'm seeing on the GX470's these days!
Thank you! I love jeeps as well
@@LoganKingMedia tell me more about the phone holder. Are you using the tape deck as the mount? Where can I buy this
Beautiful man & machine!!!!:)
Great Vehicle The GX470 👌
Winter storms dont go wrong 👍
This is awesome man. I use to love doing this stuff in my P38 RR. Then I was the one needing to be rescued when she was sitting on the bump stops and or the fuel pump going out at stoplight. I'm in the Market to get a 19 GX460 right now. I do like the older ones though. I think the older ones are better if you really plan on doing alot of off-road/snow mods which I'm not. In Missouri were I live we are actually getting less snow each winter then ever before. Nowadays we get 1 snow storm a year at best. The rest of the winter it's mostly mild and rainy.
Damn!! What a BEAUTIFUL Tank that is, next to that snow... The FJ is no Joke Either.... Rewarding, the pulling of cars/trucks/Buses.. I've had a ladder on my 4th Gen. But nothing on my GX.. I Love the way that looks...
Thanks!!
Nice video as usual, keep posting.👍🏼
Thanks!!
Thanks for your help. I also am from calgary!
Very cool! You're welcome!
Good work Logan, video is very well put together
Thanks Steve!
1:16 FYI you don't have to hold the key when you starting the engine. You can do only one click start :)
Is that a 4.7 thing or an automatic thing? Tried on my manual FJ and nada
@@ethanglozman1675 It's a 4th Gen 4Runner/1st Gen GX thing. As far as I know as I own both.
My 2013 Tundra is the same. Just need to turn to the start and let go. It'll do its thing.
@@FuJiNF Should have known this, as a family member owns a 5.7L Tundra as well.. Thanks for the reminder..
@@ethanglozman1675 My old 2004 Sequoia did the same thing.
My two favorite trucks pulling people out fucken awesome
Always liked gx series I work in lexus dealership, and I will definitely score me one when good deal comes up as a trade in :)
Great video
Hey awesome rig!!!
Який молодець
....
Awesome...the beast
Just bought a 2021 GX. Love it, wife would denature me with a spoon if I attempted to modify it, but I'm so happy with its performance. Great to see an Albertan youtube.
Right on!
braaaaaa its monster congrats great build
Thanks!
That’s a good looking rig.
Thanks!
I love your rig ! I just picked up a GX 470 in blizzard white to build up. I have a 5th gen Runner & a 4th gen V8 4Runner also that I build. I'm hoping I enjoy the GX as much as my 4Runners & hope one day to make it look like Yours ! Great video 👌🏼 & awesome Build !
I am Still going to get mine. Thanks👍🏾
👍🤘
Great vehicles ,prices are rising
