Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

mine is the bread winner so she can have whatever she wants...so long as we can afford it.

 

At this rate I feel like it will be a LONGGGG time before those drop to a reasonable price (for me). I’ve been keeping a close eye on those and the LX570 (the older model years) and it’s insane how much they are going for. I get it though.... they are awesome vehicles. I remember out here in CA when GX470s and LX470s were going for $6k-$7k all day in good condition, with lower miles. Now they are $12-$13k+ And high miles/beat up.

 

Yeah, it’s all stupid right now.

 

The 460 has more hp and torque. Is it the weight that’s killing it. Mine has the “eco” mode on for better fuel mileage and I have to press down a little more than I’m used to for mopowwwa. I’m on 275/70r17s now and don’t mind the feel. Maybe I should go with a 255/80r17 which is lighter.

 

My buddy just installed 285/70r17 duratracs on his 2010 GX 460 and went up the mountain pass this weekend and didn’t mind it one bit. Maybe I’ll stick with 33s.

I do prefer the classic look of the GX 470 but couldn’t pass up the deal I got on mine. $30k plus they gave me $15k for my Nissan Frontier which was paid off.

The a/c seats are a plus though haha

 

I only got 285/75/17 because I often go off-road and a buddy sold me them for a good price. Now that I have been running the size for the last year +, they feel almost too small. 35s aren’t out of the picture when I go to get new tires here soon.

Fuel economy is about my only complaint with the 285/75 size which is obviously to be expected. If I wasn’t going off-road often I’d be running close to factory size still, just with a true A/T tire.

 

What did you go with for the lift?

 

Suspension and brakes done! Now onto the radio, chrome/wood grain delete

 

time to cut those running boards off

 

Eibach pro truck lift and spc uppers

lift won’t be here till February

 

On the list, but not at the top

 

Eibach is good stuff, I have it on my Tacoma...it actually rides and handles better than it did with the ADS stuff I had on previously.

 

Are you lifted or running stock suspension with those 275s?

 

Wait a second. What happened to 35’s and LT!? You had me all excited.

 

Looking good!

 

Anyone have an audio "guide" on what to purchase for us non-nav folks?

May go with the Joying head unit although there are hella mixed reviews on it.

 

Dibs on your old unit

 

Lifted on Ironman stage 2 kit.

 

How do you like the Ironman kit? I’ve heard good and bad from a comfort perspective.

 

Crazy seeing so many modded GX’s now. My fellow brolanders!
