Clay interviews his cousin, Amanda, who took the Croft's previous 2008 Lexus GX 470 sport edition and turned it into her awesome overlanding suv! This overland build is complete with roof top tent, air compressor, and more! She has driven this beauty in the Rebelle Rally and overlanded all 50 states including time spent in Alaska. (Hawaii is still to come ;)

Most undervalued and under appreciated 4x4 SUV on the market! Great rig

@KraziAzn2 5 жыл бұрын

the value is definitely coming up right now though

@jaysonlafaber2995 5 жыл бұрын

In Australia these things are everywhere, they are known as a LC Prado. In Australia we know everything there is about off roading and overlanding.

@KraziAzn2 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the scene is starting to pick up steam in the US. Over the past few years, Toyota's 4x4 has been going up in value verse 5-7 years ago.

Fellow built GX470 Sport owner. Best. Truck. Eva! Corners flatter on pavement than it has any business doing, and flexes well off. Provided you are not doing a LT suspension these are hard to beat.

Absolutely awesome interview.! My wife has caught the fever of overlanding and she is loving the rig walk around. Just bought 2008 nautical blue gx470 with all service records at dealer 2 days ago and she is ready for upgrades. Outstanding vechicle. Also have a 2004 v6 Limited 4 runner with 200k on it and it literally rides and functions like brand new. Can't beat Toyota 💪

Well known in other parts of the world as Land Cruiser Prado 120, this car is brilliant! and so does the Prado 150 coming after. Had the 120, now the 150 all with 3L 1KD FTV diesel engine. Really good and reliable machines. Congratulations on your rig, good stuff!

I might buy this model? I always hear people complain that their v6 rigs struggle once they are all weighed down with camping gear. So I'm leaning towards a V8 SUV or V8 truck.

We had one in the family years ago and I wanted to do things like this but back then there was no market for it and sold it for cheap for do to depreciation. Now I see these going up like the Land cruisers. Great motor with power.

What do you all do as jobs or career to enjoy a lifestyle like this? I need a new career path to be able to do what you all do and be passionate about it. My 9-5 as a Lexus parts adviser for 23 years is not a great paying gig and burning me out! Feel like wasting my life away everyday behind the dealership desk. Would love to get out and do this full time while there is time. But I do need a good stable financial earning. Love all your videos! Thank you and happy overlanding! 👍
