    About the GX460 , Call Icon to confirm> but its my understanding if you up the dampening on the shocks up front it should help with the heavy spring rebound. if its already maxed out you may want to consider upping the spring rate up front to compensate for the added weight of the front bumper, winch and lights.

    I was out there this year around July 10th. We camped on the Grand Mesa, and it was still like 90 degrees at 10,000 feet. Kind of ridiculous on the heat. I did some mountain biking. I also remember Grand Junction being like 105 or so when we left too. That was hotter than I like. I also ran into a bear cub while mountain biking up there too on FS 515.

    Hey guys. Love your channel. I would love to hear you guys do a comparison video between the 4runner and the GX as it relates to overlanding. You're in a unique position to be able to have a lot of experience with both and to compare side by side. What aspects of each do you prefer over the other, what factors do you think would sway someone's decision to buy one over the other, etc. It would be super helpful to people like me who are trying to decide between the two. :)

    Happy belated birthday Kevin. Glad to see you enjoying your Jiffy Pop. I hope all of you are feeling much better. I realize you'll be upgrading Silver's suspension, but since Ms. Aspen is a little saggy in the front, would it make sense to swap in some beefier springs to compensate? Also, those mud terrains are quickly becoming the official tire of choice lol.
    Also when you all get back to New Mexico and settled in...the podcast needs to make a return, please please, please.

    The GX has to be really good as the Prado is Here in Australia. They are popular for the comfort and capability. Our new model diesel has 150 kw and 500nm of torque which is plenty. That translates to 201 horse power and 367 ft/lb torque for American friends.

    I may have missed it but what year and trim is the GX? I just sold my beloved 2003 Montero and in March I'm moving to Colorado and looking to get into a new off road adventure SUV. I'm really digging the Lexus over some other brands for it's capability and reliability. I would Love Heated and Cool Seats for those warm days but other than that, Center Diff lock and KDSS seems a good start.

    So I don’t know how long ago you were actually in grand Junction. But I live here in Grand Junction. And I’m really curious what road you’re on. The road up and over the grand Mesa is a paved road that goes up through mesa Colorado Powderhorn ski resort. I’m really curious where you found that dirt road. Where did you go in and where did you come out? And what lake was that?

    How do you guys sleep peacefully at locations you've never been before? I've recently been having a really hard time / it's just me and my companion Reggie a husky/shepherd mix. I was out last night north of Beavers Bend (Hochatown) Ok. about 3 hrs. from home. I drove back trying to get to a bluff area overlooking the lake. The trail ended and there was a stone fire ring so I decided to camp there. It was completely quiet, very little wind. I tried to sleep in my Eno doublenest hammock/Marmot mummy bag, tying one end to my roof rack and the other to a tree. It was beautiful and had a great fire. Checked the weather and heavy rain was projected for 6AM and most of the day. I tried to sleep, but couldn't. I finally broke camp, tore down and hit the road at 11:30PM. I got home around 3AM. I've just found recently on several trips, I cant fall asleep and know I will be miserable and exhausted the next day. 3 times now, I've given up and just gone home. Maybe it's just an undersign of unrest in my life or something I don't know, but it sure is discouraging. It took a lot of effort to get way out there.
