Nicely done. Great work with the drone footage. Some of the rocky steps looked significant, I’m a bit surprised a stock GX tackled them without a great deal of scraping. I’ve yet to do much off-roading in the GX, but my prior 4Runner (which was mildly lifted) saw plenty. GX looks very capable!

As you stated, kissing rocks here and there seems to be the voice of off-riading...

Thank you for your comments.

[QUOTE=460offroad;[url=tel:11134384]11134384[/url]]Hello everyone.

We are introducing a new youtube channel focusing on taking GX460's off-road. Please check out our first video. Please be sure to comment and/or add suggestion. Thank you!

Nice video! Commented and subbed. I was actually planning to hit a lot of these same trails with some friends in November. Did you drain your tank ie use gas from a gas can at all during your trip or was the gas enough in the tank?

Please see the YouTube channel there is an installation video about this particular bumper. It is by DV8. A review video will be shared after we get some miles on it.
