Been looking into the possibility of 35’s on my upcoming GX OT+. Very minor lift required (2” up front. About .5” out back) to accommodate. A couple small brackets removed and slight trimming and it all fits very nicely. Far easier than what the GX 460/4Runner required.
Funny I am thinking of trading in my Gladiator for the GX550 I really like the Lexus experience plus how you get treated @ the dealership VS Jeep that couldn’t care less about the loyal customers, not to mention all the aluminium corrosion issues Jeep has failed to solve.
@@CoddiwompleOverland although when I saw your face when your wife said she liked those seats better. I realized how much you like your Mojave. Why didn’t you get a rubicon?
It's always a shame when you see a new GX 5550 OT without the available Rock Rails, if you get an OT, get with the Rock Rails.... anyone Know why these are on such back order, they still have 24 models in Build faze that wont arrive until 2025. Plus they are mostly all sold. In the used car market they going for 10k over window sticker and then some..... Saw an OT plus for 105K, some for 95K with like 5K miles.. yup no! I will wait, but I do want one bad!!
@CoddiwompleOverland very nice. I love the gx550 look always wonder how it would compare to where I've been with that approach and departure. I've done everything there other than dickey bell and Daniel
I figured the next trip you would need to have a Lexus and Teton X trailer instead of a Jeep and Mission Overland trailer. 🤪🤪. The Lexus seemed nice and probably will get 90% of the people where they want to go. Just a bunch of money to mob down the trail; so, many probably will never see the trail.
I’d stick with the Gladiator build. Much more capable. Although I am a Toyota/Lexus guy, have an 80 series Land Cruiser and a 5th Gen 4 Runner. Lol. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy your videos.
I love it when a manufacture takes the time to do this sort of thing. Thanks for bringing this video
Same here.
Good video!! I drove a GX550 a while back and really liked it.
It's nice for sure.
I LOVE the looks of the 550! Small lift and bigger tires would go a long way...
Yes, definitely
Agreed.

Thanks for the info.
Lexus forgot to invite me! 😭
Glad you enjoyed the GX. See, IFS can still be fun!
Yep, it was fun.
I took my GX 550 OT on that same course with Overland Experts. Love my GX 550!!!
Cool!

Cool, let us know how you like it if you trade.
Impressive. Especially with those street tires.
Definitely
Yeah I’d be down to see a swap, great video!
It's nice for sure.

@michaelptm2269 one of the big reasons was the Mojave seats...
Hi, what tire pressure were you running for this? Thanks for the video, very helfpul.
We ran normal recommended air pressure as they did not want to air down.

Yes, get the rock rails.
This is uhwarrie in NC? Ive been there a few times in my 4runner if so.
Yes it was

Second !! LOL - It was great that they let you pull the trailer on some serious looking trails.
We were surprised they let us.

They probably won't. In the end, we ended up still in our Gladiator and we are now back in the TetonX
Ok I struggled to click thumbs up for a Lexus! But….the video and review was great. I’m just an old jeep guy. Stick with the gladiator!!!
No worries the Gladiator is staying.
Love the video video but no way!
Right
Better price would help.
Yes
How much was your gladiator?
I think around 60k
@@CoddiwompleOverland the lexus is 80k plus. I bought a 21 rubicon AEV edition JL for 55k last year.
Thanks!
Oh come'on. Trade the Gladiator and take the Lexus over the Rubicon. Hahaha.
😂😂

I love my Jeep, but...
We love the GX550, but we love our Gladiator build a little more.
Makes my brain hurt. That is all
😬
First!
