Well I have been following threads for about a year now and just recently made an account so I figured I would throw my current build on here. I picked up a 2004 GX 470 back in February of 2021 for 4k.
Right after taking it home I started the teardown to change the timing belt and everything that came off also got replaced. I spent the next 6 months just enjoying the best SUV as my daily back and forth to work before she got her first real taste of being off-road.
A few of my friends wanted to take a trip so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to break it in. We hit every trail at Nemo Tunnel in TN.
It crushed everything that I threw at it with no issues, even on highway tires. I followed a pathfinder on 35s and a Jeep on 33s everywhere. After this I knew I was falling into the modified trap. So I immediately started the hunt for 35s.
I found an almost new set of Falken Wildpeak 35x12.5x17 for only $300 on marketplace!
Now the GX is waiting for wheels and a lift and I am so excited for this journey.
