Steep and slippery as it looks??

Easier to navigate than the 250 Land Cruiser posts.

Pretty nice video just released...

PS- Confused by thread title. Isn't this GX460/Prado 150? @GXO

The first post is from 2016. Only took us 7 years to fix it lol.

New to me GX460 bought in March, immediately started getting stuff ordered & sorted. Went with TE37XT 17x8.5 -10 offset in matte red, wrapped i285/70/17 n king coilovers n rears total chaos UCA, & CBI sliders. Loving this rig for sure.

Nice! A meatier aggressive tire would have really made those TE's pop IMHO.

Cleaned the GX

Yeah I totally agree. Will probably go MT first thing next year n bump it up a size... thanks

Here’s a quick picture of my ‘23. I wanted something for my short commute, but also for forest roads and trailheads. Have had it for 7-8 months, and it’s my favorite vehicle to date.

Welcome to the forum. Looks great! I like the subtle touches with the red recovery points and ARB skid. I've been thinking about trimming my front bumper. I think seeing yours may have sealed the deal.

Thank you.

I don’t do any difficult off roading, but wanted something to drive across fields, and be able to pull out with a tractor if I got stuck. I want to keep the weight down and decided against an aftermarket bumper.

The bumper cut was pretty easy. I just measured out the lines for symmetry and used an angle grinder. Probably took 30-40 minutes total.

Yeah, agree with GXOR1K. For some reason, maybe it's just the photo, but those tires look more like an all-season tread than the more aggressive tread of an AT or MT.

A rainy Plumas National Forest/Tahoe National Forest trip. Drove from Gold Lake to Bowman Lake mostly offroad with a bunch of friends. Things I've learned - a Subaru Baja can keep up if the driver is sendy enough and that you cannot keep up with a Rivian R1T if he decides he wants to leave the group for a second.

We also had an FJ Cruiser, an XJ Wrangler, an F-150 on 35s, and a stock Nissan XTerra. I also had a chance encounter with a rock (my fault) so I guess I have to chop the bumper now.

The Rivans are something else offroad.

The Rivans are something else offroad.

I believe it's due to their very low CG, considering all the batteries are on the floor board/pan/chassis.
Not to mention their gobs of horsepower!

Is there an "optimal" offset for 265/70/17 wheels to minimize rubbing? I think the GX is 25 right? Or -25? Trying to reshoe and at the same time not wanting to BMC. Bolt and fender massage is fine, but just wondering if offset would also help. Found a set of wheels that are 10 offset that I like but don't want to make things worse with the wrong offset.

I think you are correct, stock wheels are +25. You'd have to go pretty negative offset for 265s to rub the body mount. I'm running 0 offset 8.5" wheels with 275/70s and they don't rub on the body mount. The 4Runner TRD Pro wheels (all iterations) are +4 offset 7" wide. I ran them on my GX470 and liked them. They put the tires just about flush with the outermost part of the fenders. 0 offset will put the tires about 1/2" outside the fender flare.

I was looking at a set of 17x8.5 Kensei Roku HD wheels to go with 265/70/17 Falkens and want to minimize any rubbing body or not. They are 10 offset.
