I think he got a lot more help than what was recorded. That's 7 out of 10 trail. Lexus is a basic snow ride on pavement. But pretty impressive driving where jeeps thrive.
Awesome, thanks for upload.. Just got an 07 GX. I'm curious, at 15:00 doesn't look like your ATRAC was working. Does it? I've seen it engage in other vids and you can see the brake modulate. Or did I miss you explain that somewhere? I'm anxious to get a wheel in the air to see how it feels.
You are correct, this was driver error (me). ATRAC only works in first gear... I didn't know this until after I drove this trail. I probably could have climbed that obstacle without the winch had I known this. My FJ cruiser made it up there no problem without the winch. Enjoy your gx!
Rose awesome videos man what rims do you have I wanna get the same ones for my GX also I’m still on the stock suspension, keeping it till it breaks and I’ll upgrade whats the largest size tire you recommend on stock suspension? Thanks man!
It’s always been open for me even when people say it’s closed. I come in through pinnacles staging area from arrowhead. I am not familiar with the entrance bypass
Quick question, were you running with center diff locked? It did not seem Atrac tried to kick in. I have found Atrac more active with center diff unlocked. Just my experience i know its 50/50 with people saying lock center diff while climbing, I only lock the center diff during loose sand, or mud when I need higher RPM and wheel speed to get me through stuff. I have tried climbing the same sketchy section with diff locked and found it way more difficult versus unlocked center diff. Same climb center diff locked resulted in more wheel spin and Atrac not adding me.
Gx460 fan with a 3” on 34” with a winch. Curious why you popped the hood before winching? Can you not get to the freespool lever? cut a couple of the plastic grill fins and you should be able to get your hand in there.
Sometimes people will winch with the hood up to protect the windshield in case the winch breaks. It could also be because of the freespool lever though.
great video, and way to use the GX! I have a GX on 33's as well (sliders on order). I enjoy the WTF looks you get on the trail when you wheel a lexus :D
THANK YOU for at least calling it a TRUCK-- (makes me want to slap the snot out of people when the call them CARS...lke your other video).. ha. GREAT JOB though.
On the one hand, it's like lol weeny Cali bois and thier their trail ratings. But then in the other it's like, damn, those trail ratings. Great lakes signs are like "
Tell your spotter to use "Driver" and "passenger" -- not " this way or that way..-- you don't need to be taking eyes off what you're doing to see which way he's pointing..
All things considered the scariest part might be that HF jack. 😲
That GX is a beast!!
Seeing a guy in a Lexus stacking rocks with a GoPro mount on his head would make my day! 😂 Definitely subbed!
I found your channel when I had my c5 z06. I just recently sold that car to get a 4runner and ended up with a gx470 haha.
Literally same here, but I had a GTI before.
Awesome demo of GX 470. Thanks for making this video.
Wow this is really impressive, not only the gx but all the work you did to set it up as well as bringing the right tools on the trail

happens all the time 😉
damn that was epic. you can really drive through some tough roads. great work
Time for new steels bumpers. Nice work on the trail
Wow this is awesome man! You got guts!
Thans for letting me see what my gx470 is capable of. I'm going to make mine last and not beat it. This is why I bought one with no mods .
Great video, you got some balls pounding your GX like that.

This has got to be the best car video I've seen in weeks, even though i just marathonned a season of roadkill.
Wow, thanks! I had only 2 hours to throw this edit and voiceover together. There was over 100gb of footage from the trip!
I am totally impressed!
This dude is crazy. Sometimes you just gotta send it lol.
Absolute legend
For sale, all highway miles never taken off road😄 I really enjoyed this video 👍
What steering wheel are you rocking? Need to replace my clock spring and like the look of whatever that is your rocking.
I found it on eBay. It comes from china and takes forever to get here
Rose awesome videos man what rims do you have I wanna get the same ones for my GX also I’m still on the stock suspension, keeping it till it breaks and I’ll upgrade whats the largest size tire you recommend on stock suspension? Thanks man!
What kind of winch do you have. Wow amazing video crazy
Good video amigo
thanks for the awesome vid. Do you know the bypass to get to the entrance? I hear the entrance is always closed
It’s always been open for me even when people say it’s closed. I come in through pinnacles staging area from arrowhead. I am not familiar with the entrance bypass
@@ZentRose It was closed at the main entrance 😂 we went all the way around thought 🤘🏾
Cool ride through, nice job making it through. Are you thinking of adding any other plates under it or do you think it doesn’t really need it?
I think with 35" tires I will be fine and have the clearance I need. Just need to get around to modifying the GX to fit the bigger tires.

I think center locked allows more slip before atrac turns on. Which can be beneficial sometimes but also not in other situations.
Great trail. I did it for the first time end of last year

@@clonemeatbag2833 ohhhh, that’s a good idea, never thought of that! Smart ..
If you put it on 1st gear 4LO. I think the ATRAC will work
Wondering if you locked your center diff during any of the hard parts?
yes I needed diff locked for all the parts where I lifted a wheel
Real man out there. Fantastic
That guy with the 4th gen.... geez . Lol
That’s a great model and paint color.
No finish problems with the pearl white? I’m looking at one here!
yes I had to repaint the fender trim pieces. They were oxidizing
I have a 2008 GX Pearl white and the paint looks great
I dont think LExus did all this off road testing with the GX, great content as always Zent! thanks brotha
its sold as land cruiser prado outside US so yeah
@ 18:00 did he engaged the Down hill assistant / DAC?
Where’d you get the rock sliders and what kind of Rims
who makes those rock sliders? they look great
white knuckle off road

Hey! Can you drop a link to that steering wheel!
Maybe I didn't catch it but, did you aired down?

Does the GX not have ATRAC?
Yeah it has ATRAC
Putting the GX to work

This is an eBay steering wheel. I posted a video on it in the gx470 playlist with a link to the wheel
Whats the suspension/tire specs?

Put lockers in both ends... Not THAT much more expensive.. and you'll be glad you did..
