The ULTIMATE Lexus GX470 OFF-ROAD/Overland Build (For Under $20k) Part 1

Before we talk about my exact build budget breakdown, which I plan on making an updated-for-2023 video for, let&discuss the basic considerations for building an extremely capable Lexus GX470, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tacoma-or other IFS platform- Off-road/Overland build. 20k may seem like a lot for all these modifications, and trust me, I have found ways to come in well below that, but if you compare the capability, comfort, and reliability you can get with these rigs compared to the cost of a brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Tacoma Trail Hunter, or Ford Bronco Sasquatch, the value for dollar proposition makes a lot of sense. For me, the value-to-performance ratio starts to get a bit skewed when you get into custom work or extremely expensive parts like front long-travel, etc. You can get an insanely capable rig with the basic stock control arms and parts, while enabling less costly maintenance, broad replacement parts availability, and simplicity of repairs. Remember: This is just PART 1. We still have a lot more parts to discuss to get us up closer to that 20k mark. If what you see in this video is all you need, things will be a lot cheaper for you. #toyota4x4
