I'm defintely not doing that with the GX, it is fun though and it is able to do it.

I wonder who did it, would love their report back on the landing cause it looks like was going to be painful.

This was my second run up the dune, I actually got more air on the fisrt one (but the landing felt painful so I slowed down the second time). This is why I have the 4Runner and the GX is still new so it will be nursed.

That GX is in trouble. There's no way it's coming down without some sort of damage. I believe in the GX (in terms of structural integrity) more than most other trucks, but it's not designed for that kind of impact. I am assuming the landing is soft to medium sand as that's what it looks like.
