@SalsaRed is right about the motor. I too wish I could get the Prado 150 diesel but I should be grateful to have the solid V8 that it does have, it along with the 6-speed transmission are huge upgrades over the 4Runner. The hardest part about owning this truck is trying to keep myself from building it even bigger than I need it to be simply because I can haha. Great stuff, would love to see a follow up to this down the road, maybe a video touching on mods owners regret or what would they have done differently if they could go back in time. I know I already wish I could have done some things differently on mine.

Thank you for the excellent comment; I agree with the “regret” mod follow up video lol. I already regret the tire size and the insufficient lift that the Ironman suspension provided. Oh well, we live and we learn lol.

@texlee1640 3 жыл бұрын

@@CoastalGX My Ironman FCP's were suggested to be set quite low from the factory, I had to go back twice and adjust preload to get the desired height. Unfortunately it has somewhat adversely effected the ride quality up front in comparison to how it rode initially. While I like the quality of the kit overall, I think I'll eventually be moving to an extended or long travel setup instead in the future. Bigger meats are always enticing but they come with drawbacks and you usually have to change/mod/upgrade three other things in order to make way for the one, lol.

@CoastalGX 3 жыл бұрын

Tex Lee did you gain more lift after the adjustment? Do you think I might benefit from that? I still get some rubbing and I feel like I need to do something about this.

@texlee1640 3 жыл бұрын

@@CoastalGX I definitely gained more clearance above the tire in the front after adjusting the preload. I did it more for look and balance than clearance. I have a BMC and decent trimming in the front along with the bumper which also helps. I haven't had any rubbing with 285/70's on -10mm wheels. When I make the jump to 285/75's it's very likely that I will have some rubbing. What size tires are you running?

Awesome video. Some really cool stuff. Never thought a GX could be modified so well. I have a few questions: when lifting, how does that interfere with the factory hydraulic lifting mechanism (high, neutral, low). Also have u guys installed front n rear lockers (and cost pls). How does GX perform in snow?

@CoastalGX 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there; the GX has an airbag option. The hydraulic system is probably the KDSS and all you need to do is take a couple of steps in turning the screws on the kdss system before and after the lift install. I haven’t looked into getting lockers, but I imagine they cost a pretty penny. I barely had the chance to drive it in some snow a few weeks ago and it performed very well. Join the GXOR Facebook page and you’ll find just about anything topic related. Thanks for commenting!

@marcochavanne 2 жыл бұрын

They don’t really need lockers unless you’re in nasty stuff. ATRAC is amazing. I’ve had double locked rigs but got over a few tough obstacles today in low with the center diff unlocked just using ATRAC. Work even with tires up in the air. Stick below 2.5” of lift to use the KDSS system. Treaty Oak Offroad has KDSS spacers to level the bar post lift and prevents KDSS lean. I am a big fan of the air bags. Airbag Man in Australia makes 2”’lift bags for the rear. Rear shocks are fine to retain. Slap some Dobinsons +2” front struts on and you’re set.

Had a super clean one owner (we were the second owners) 04 470 a few years back. 75,000 mi. Transfer case actuator seal was faulty/leaking on that year. 700 bucks to have the transfer case dropped and seal replaced. After that, car was amazing. 600 bucks to do timing belt, water pump plugs and wires at 95k. Sold it and picked up a clean 2010 460 w/ 95k. Overall, the 460 is nicer, but the 470 was superb in its own right. Slightly dated as opposed to the 460, but in hindsight, we would keep the 470 instead of moving on to the 460. If you can find a clean 470 specimen, jump on it! Just beware of the transfer case seal on earlier models.
