Vlog 98 - Falken Wildpeak AT4W 3000 Mile Review (Lexus GX470)
An extended 3000 mile review was required to ensure I tested the new Falken Wildpeak AT4W tires across various terrain types. The bottom line is that these tires are incredible! If you're a fan of the Wildpeak AT3W and in the market for new tires...you can't go wrong!

Well, I wish all of these vlogs were successful, but I'd be lying to you if I told you that was the case. Wrapping the hood was a complete failure, but a huge learning experience!

What an interesting experience to get to test out three different snorkel heads or as I said in this video way too many times..."Topper" (not sure why I decided to called it that).

Changing the valve cover gasket on the GX470 was a breeze compared to the M4 back in Vlog 31. For all those with oil in their driveways in the morning or burning oil smells after driving...check for a leak around your valve cover.

Vlog 69 - Lexus GX470 Gets Baja Designs Lights
I put a set of these on my 4Runner. I'm not impressed with their snow performance at all.
Did you take the intecooler off the J-pipe? What did you loosen under the intercooler?
I live in Cape Girardeau,MO. Too bad I didn't know you were coming. Coulda shown you some enjoyable backroads just west a little. Good review video. Thanks!
Great video. Planning on getting these. What’s your wheel & suspension setup? No rubbing? BMC for the 33s?
Price of the tires?
Great question! I can’t believe u left that part out. This 285/70/17 tire came out to $283 per tire. So looking at $1132 plus taxes. Install was free through discount tire.
Maybe use a slip solution. Or start at a corner and slowly smooth it out as you peel off the backing. Not sure if it’s the lighting but headlights don’t look as clear. I used the cerakote headlight kit on my GX and it turned out great. Future video idea
I should have applied wet and then squeegee the water out…then stretch from the center out. Great observation! I have brand new oem headlights in the background. I’m currently in the garage filming that video along with the Goliath Offroad Rock Sliders.
@@Awesomotosweet. Looking forward to the rock sliders install
Can’t wait to upgrade to these. I had the AT3W and loved them. Great video!!
Thanks Allen! 🙏🏻 If you loved the AT3Ws you will definitely love these! Excited for you to switch and feel the improvements!
great review, i actually are thinkin gof upgrading to these. I plan on going to 35s hopefully within the next 2 months or so.
You can’t go wrong with the AT4Ws. I think the only negative aspect I’ve seen on these tires is the increased weight. The thicker sidewall is mostly the cause for that, but I think it’s worth it. Oh man, 35s would be sick! I wanted to go that route here, but chickened out.
Great!
🤘🏼
My GX470 has about 12,000 miles on the at4w's already:, pavement,wet roads,gravel,mud snow I'm super impressed with them
That’s awesome to hear you’re liking them after 12k miles. I agree, they are very impressive!
That off road area with the sand and palm tree looks great, i'm in central Florida is that area close ?
Hey Charles! Yeah it’s black hole area on the east coast.
Great video! Makes me wanna go out and buy new tires!! Didja send this video to Falken??
No, but I should!
Personally, I love the look of the wood trim. Reminds me of classic cars from decades ago. I think it’s very classy. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
I'm looking for a CA emissions compatable tune for my 05 GX. Better performance and +2 mpg definitely worth it.
I think I have this exact problem.. which was proceeded by a funny noise underneath the car.. is this the same with an LX470.. I have the 100 series manual V8, and wondering if it the same process between auto and manual transmission?
Also. Your channel and videos are awesome
Does that Phenix touch screen need updates? If so how does it take updates ?
3years later. Is it still feeing nice? Not sticky. And not smearing ? Can we get an update
Just used this for my install. Nice job!
Hello mate nice video, i want to ask you.. i have a prado lc120 I removed the woofer before to order the new one. But i saw that min has 4 wire instead of your that has 2. Did you know the difference?! On speaker writes 4Ω/4Ω and the wires going on two side on my stock speaker.

Have you had any issues with the subwoofer hitting the paneling? Mine smacks and rattles like crazy
No I havent, but I could see where if the speaker isnt sitting as flush it could hit. Check to make sure you have enough clearance behind the speaker and that its sitting close to flush to the front of the box.
Do you have put Premium Gas going forward, after the tune ?
No you don’t have to run premium going forward, but the tune was created using higher octane fuel so it runs best on premium. I can’t speak exactly to what the difference would be, but I know that it won’t hurt anything.
Yoo what is that production value on the intro?! Love it!! Nice vid
LOL! Thanks Stephen!
Hey how much did you tighten down the nuts on the back side of the snorkel
The ones on the fender I tightened by hand, but made sure they were very tight so it doesnt come undone.
I just got this warning. Gonna check into it. Thanks 🙏🏾
Hopefully it was the same issue and you were able to fix it!
Ive got a joying setup, followed your lead here, but my camera wont work...I will reach out to Joying, but if you have any troubleshooting tips, let me know lol.
Hmmm, I'm not familiar with the details of the joying unit but I couldnt use the stock backup cam with my Phoenix unit. I think reaching out to them is the best bet to getting that information.
Booking appointment today. Thanks this was perfect review.
That’s great to hear! You’ll be happy with the improvements. I’m on mile 2000 of a 3000 mile trip for the holidays and cruising at highway speeds was incredible with the tune. No more gear hunting and cruise control is happy.
Do you still recommend the full oem set that you have the link to in the description? Awesome video btw
Yes, the oem trim is still worth the extra money. The non oem ones warped in the Florida heat after a few months and these still look new after almost 3 years.
Great, simple installation video!!!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Hey @awesomoto its been a year since i last commented are you still running this setup and is there a breather for the transmission front diff or transfer case And if so have you done those as well
Hey Ben, Great question. I'm still running the diff breather setup from this video. Yes, there are breathers for the transfer case and front diff which I havent done yet. They are a located much higher than the rear diff so I believe this is the main reason you don't see many adding an extended breather on those. I may add them since I go through some pretty deep water crossings here in Florida. Hope this helps!
i got the same error today. bmw has been nothing but problem. i will never ever ever ever buy a bmw again. they make the worst cars on the planet by far !!!! i'd rather get some chinese car instread of bmw
I feel you. BMWs can be painful...especially if you pay mechanics to do the work. I do all the work myself and save tons of money that way.
How come you ended up not doing the wrap? Changed your mind?
Yeah, I ended up changing my mind as I kept going offroad and felt it was just going to ruin the vinyl anyway. In one of my recent videos I failed at wrapping the hood, but left it on because even though it doesnt look good it will protect things, but it likely wont last long with trail riding.
@@Awesomoto gotcha. I've wrapped my montero with a partial camo wrap a couple years ago and just re-did it. Debating doing it on the GX, but figuring I should probably get a bumper first or it'll look a bit weird on mostly stock vehicle (other than 2 inch lift). Also do you ever go to Cypress WMA?
So bummed about the seat covers... I am happy you got them though!
Yeah I'm so bummed about the seat covers too. I love mine and they are still holding up after all these years...not sure why they stopped selling them.
Looks like like my DIY roof wrap job. The whole thing is a scam
guess i gotta wait for the 2nd run!
Im sorry you missed it! I just finished the laser cutting on the second run and next they’re going to powder coat. I should have these ready to ship by 1/4.
Just wanted to reach out and let you know the 2nd run just came in today and the panels are back in stock on the website!
@@Awesomoto oh sweet! ill order tonight!
@ Thank you for the support! 🙏🏻
@@Awesomoto order placed! cant wait!!
Dam it sold out 🥲
They’ll be back in stock in 2 weeks!
Hey Victor, just wanted to reach out and let you know the 2nd run just came in today and the panels are back in stock on the website!
Did you do anything to help with the rattle? I just completed this install and the rattle is driving me insane
I added some silicon to seal it up.
@ That’s a great idea. Do you have any pictures or videos of it?
No, but what I did was placed a bead of silicone where the speaker mounts to the box and that dramatically helped.
@@AwesomotoThanks a lot! I’ll give it a try. Thank you for all the great videos
@ Of course! Thank you for reaching out and support the channel!
Got mine!!
Glad to hear it! Thank you for the support! 🙏🏻 Let me know if you have any install questions.
Can I use this if I don't have the actual OEM tool holder inside?
@@ttksa470 You sure can! I designed it to work either way. The nice part about not having the tool holder is that you can create your own by mounting tools to the inside of this panel.
I just bought my GX a few months back and some of these molle panels would be awesome(moto)! I will be waiting for them to come back in stock
Congrats on the GX Nick! These will be back in stock in about 2 weeks. I’ll make an announcement on here and on Instagram when they are in stock.
Hey Nick, just wanted to reach out and let you know I just got a fresh batch of panels in today! So they are back on the awesomoto.tv/shop store.
Next time i come down to Florida i wanna go to the place were you did a little bit of wheeling
If you’re ever down my way, hit me up on Instagram and I’ll take you out there.
update on how the gorilla tape held up
lol, it’s funny you ask because I was just inspecting that last night. I ended up switching to Alien tape after 30 days because the Gorilla tape failed with cold temps. I’ve had the Alien tape on since and it’s been great! Do you by chance have a GX470? If so, I’m planning to make a bracket from the roof rack down to the snorkel to hold it in place without drilling.
Should I buy 110-220LBS front end load and heavy rear load weight, or Stock front and rear end load? about 2 inch lift.
I did the stock front end load and even have an armored bumper. I love the ride quality with it and was worried going with the heavy load rating as I've heard it makes for a stiff bumpier ride. I don't haul a trailer with my GX so I figured the stock load made the most sense for my use. If you are hauling a lot of weight, you might want to consider the heavy weight springs.
This is up there with window tint; although window tint is more straightforward, is still sucks! lol
Oh yeah I can imagine window tint being a pain!
Thanks for your honesty and candor with all of your projects. You've been an inspiration to try projects I otherwise would not have! "No shame in failure" .... 100% agree! I chalk it up to the price of education, ha ha.
Thanks Justin. I couldn’t agree more, education costs!
Hey man just wanted to say thanks so much for making all of these videos. I have followed every one of your speaker videos from the door speakers to the subs. My door speakers are sounding great now I actually used the DS brand 8ohm speakers for my 6x9s and 6.5s and used the SKAR sub like you did here. I am having one issue though the subwoofer makes virtually no sound at all now. It does move in an out when I tested it after installing but man its not producing any volume once I buttoned eveyrthing up and sat in the driver seat. I moved the balance all the way to the rear and there is literally no subwoofer sound at all. I wired eveyrthing up exactly as you did here in the video. I tripled checked all wiring. The sub is getting power as I feel it moving with the radio on theres just no bass what so ever. Is it possible my amp is fried just for the sub portion? Front speakers push good volume and sound great.
Hey SkinnySkinch! Thank you for reaching out and I'm thankful you appreciate the videos I created for the GX community. I'm sorry to hear about the sub acting up and you are thinking right in line with where my head is at based on the symptoms you are explaining. It could be that the amp channel that the sub is on is fried and why you aren't hearing anything. It's a little more of an advance electronic piece of equipment, but it would be interesting to see that signal on an oscilloscope to see if its even singing the audio waveform to the sub. If a flat line, then its certainly a blown amp channel.
@@Awesomoto Mannnnn I was hoping I was wrong about Amp being blown. My rear door speakers are also basically only words no bass or mid at all. I found a few on ebay around $500 with a $150 refundable core. $350 is still a lot for a 20 year old amp.
@@SkinnySkinchI’d say going with a new aftermarket amp would be a better bet than a questionable 20 year old amp on eBay. I’m planning to do an audio upgrade video in 2025.
@@Awesomoto Yeah you're right it's just such a bummer bc I just specifically bought all of this 8ohm stuff so I could maintain the factory wiring and amp. If I upgrade the amp I will need to run new wires to every speaker right?
@ Maybe you could put an inline amp on just that sub. I’ve seen people do that to get more power to drive that rear sub harder.
Wet it!!
Who cares this is your toy ! GX are supposed 2b rugged and yours looks the part!! .. buying the tool mole for sure
I completely agree! This hood will see sticks and branches on trails, so I shouldn’t get too carried away with cosmetic details. That’s awesome to hear! Thank you for the support! 🙏🏻 I’m restocking the panels and should have them back in stock in about 2 weeks.
Way to have the guts to follow through on the job and making a video of it! Props!
Thanks Kareem! I needed everyone to see that not everything goes according to plan in real life. It sure would be nice if it did! 😂 I think I’ll have success on my second attempt and I felt that I was starting to get the hang of it towards the end. Fingers crossed.
