Six-Month Review of my Lifted GX 460

Nice looking set up man im also searching to do some suspension upgrades and bigger tires on my gx plan on doing those first then will do bumbers n stuff later

Can't find any Blacklines, are they now sold out? We bought a green 22 BL. Today we decided buy a 23 and keep the 22. Not to drive but as insurance in case the 22 is wrecked. My preference would be another Green BL but I can't find any BL.

GX460 fanboy here as well. Mine is a 2021 and I’m in San Antonio. ICON lift with 285/60/20s on Fuel wheels Prinsu roof rack and a front bumper with 12k winch. Let me know when you’re ready to go off roading again 😊.

👍🏼

Nice video and I appreciated your approach to modifying with intended purpose and your comparison to the other vehicles. Mine is entirely stock suspension and non-cut other than stock sized Falken Wildpeak AT3. I’ve been saving videos like this while planning some minimal suspension mods for off roading

This simply beautiful - peaceful narration, beautifully videotaped scenery, no intrusive or jarring music, and brilliant writing.

Good work, nice person!

Great video, have a GX Blackline and my other half has a 4Runner TRD ORP. GX is definitely more comfortable and bit more powerful IMHO. These cars will last a long time, my 04 GX 470 is approaching 300K miles

Lexus I was Born this way Lexus #1

Great job keep up the good work

Nice ride!

A fabulous review! Thanks

if you take the back seats how, how much sleeping room do you have back there?

For higher off pavement speeds you need to invest in better suspension. I've chosen Dobinsons MRAs for my GX and this thing takes jumps like Raptor

Great review

Great review 👏
I'm looking forward to GX550 Premium+ or Luxury.

Nice! I've got a GX470 2.5 inch Stage 2 Eibach lift. Man I have no problems sending it through rocky/bumpy terrain. My setup is quite a bit different though.

NICE , I'm gonna get a used one and save me some $$ for GEico..

Why did you decided to go with your suspension set up? And not ironman cell foam pro or old man emu set up ? Was it the cost or ?

Excellent review

Rig looks so good

How many inch is that lift?

I have a white 2022 GX460 with lift and 275/70R17 Falken Wildpeak tires on Raceline wheels. I have taken it off road a number of times and it always impresses me with its capabilities but when returning to the pavement it always gives a nice smooth, comfortable and luxurious ride, which is one of the reasons why I bought it. I had a reservation for a Bronco but after spending a weekend with one (thanks Turo) I canceled the reservation. Main reason were complaints about the hard top creaking and squeaking, that would drive me nuts and reliability issues. Plus, its just not as nice as the Lexus. Let's face it, we spend most of our time driving on paved roads and the Lexus excels at this while being extremely capable off road.

The Bronco I rented had the soft top which is just a really poor design. I can't believe Ford even produced such a garbage top. You can put your hand through the sides of the top and into the cab and wind lifts it on the freeway if you get a stiff cross wind plus the rear doesn't open. It lifts up about 15 degrees but there is no way to prop it up to access stuff in the back. Then there are the saggy rear windows that they all seem to have. It's a really horrible design. Quite frankly, I don't want a top or doors that comes off. Most of the time it is either too hot or too cold for driving with the top off not to mention skin cancer. If Ford offered the Bronco with a non-removable hard top and more upscale trim like the Mercedes G-Wagon I might consider it because they are extremely good off-road but it is just too compromised on the road to be a daily driver for me.

Great video. I am planning lifting my 08 gx470 with a few other modifications. Cant wait!! Your GX looks awesome. Thanks for sharing this video.

How much did it cost all in for the mods?

Nice setup. I'm also looking for a similar setup as yours. How much gas mileage has been affected on your setup?

They sell all the Prado front end parts as a kit & would be killer on that lifted 👍

Any BMC required for the 285s? What fender mods did you have to do?

Thanks for the video and info. Very well done. I see you added the KDSS spacer kit. Did you add panhard bar correction kit for the rear? If not, can you tell if the rear axel shifts at all?

How much did this setup run you?

Nice GX.
What trails are those in the Hill County?

Your GX looks good! I also have a friend that has one and it's making me want one. I have a 4Runner ORP right now and I might be selling it for a '17 GX 460 because my wife wants the 3rd row. I'll take the wheels and tires off the 4R and put it on the GX. My question is did you have to do a body mount chop to fit the 285s?

Would you mind sharing the exact parts/part numbers you used for the suspension? This is exactly what I'm looking for! Great job, it looks awesome!

How’s your ride quality, stiff, hard, medium etc????

Nice build. I live in DFW, what shop would you recommend for the upgrades?

Great review and great looking rig. Toyota FTW!

What did that road trip cost you, fuel wise?

hi bro. can you tell the wheels, tire size and what suspension you used

Any chance of a year review?

Is your spare tire the same as the one on the car and does it fit under with the hitch?

Black Blackline fam 🖤

Dude! I want to do this exact same set up. Thank you so much for giving me exactly what I need. Question 🙋🏽‍♂️. Did you do a body mount chop ? To fit those 33’s. I read most reviews, didn’t see this mentioned. Thank you.

Great rig. Did you get the offroad package with MTS?

IDK if missed it in the video, but how is the MPG with the new lift and tires

Which trim level you had before lift?

Loved the video man. Any new upgrades since? Any plans to make a detail about the lift and tire wheel setup?

Were you able to fit a matching spare in the spare tire well? Did the lift impact the parking/ lane sensors?

Do you put regular (87) gas in it ?

@JimmyReviewsCars One of the reasons I picked up my 460 is the ride and handling because it is primarily used for road trips. That being said, I would like to do some light overlanding since I live in the Southwest and a small lift like yours (along with the other mods) would be beneficial. My question is, how much did your alterations affect the road manners? I have zero interest in spending the money on these mods to get a little better clearance and a little better traction if it is going to result in the GX handling like a Tacoma.

The wifey loves her 2020 GX460. She said that she would get another one in a heartbeat if something ever happened to this one. She got it brand new, only problem was that the water pump went out at 47k miles and alternator at 55k miles. She purchased an extended warranty and it was all covered.

what kind of MPG are you getting with those wheels?
