Good Afternoon,

I would like to have some recommendations for a used GX 460 Base we purchased.

Lift Kit
Bummers (Front/Rear)
Best Tire size BFG A/T's
Roof Rack with Tent
Aux Fuel Tank

Hope everyone has a great day.

to confidently overland all all the gx needs is a quality set of all terrain tires.
The vehicle will likely go more places than a lot of peopleare willing to take it stock, so the rest is just camping gear...

get out there and enjoy.

Define "overlanding"...trails only? Crossing creeks? Crawling rocks? How long? How far off the beaten path? Specifically where geographically are you planning to overland? Will you be alone? Only person or only vehicle? All important questions to.get the most bang for your buck...

Looking for quality accessories at a reasonable price. Will take some time to acquire parts, but will totally be worth it.

not per your list, but heres my 2 cents:
might depend on if youre going with another vehicle in the group. a winch or tow straps? maybe an exhaust jack? A couple 4" ratchet straps, the really long ones? A couple cans on the back might be better than the aux tank. can help others, can also take the cans to the station if the tank runs out, etc. point is they are portable, the aux isnt.
how about a couple front/rear view cams on suction bases? nice to see the wheels & ground when in a new path.

You should direct most of the off-roading and overland Questions to https://forum.ih8mud.com/
150 series specifically =)

I would look thru the https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/ you'll get real world input from people who actually use their vehicle regularly for this purpose.
