I like that you are using the GX as it is except for a few mods. I see a lot of GX owners with all the lifts, lights, etc. And they don’t drive off road like you do on a daily basis. To me is keep it simple with a quality built truck like our GXs. Keep up the great info videos.

We did go out tryin to rock crawl. But we had some pretty gnarly rocks and lost of washboards, they did great. KO2s are legendary though
@@D.Dragoon It really varies. But the sand is not your typical beach sand. Most of it is pretty fine. As far as rocks go basically the same as everywhere else there are sharp ones and round ones. But they do have what's called slick rock. Which is super grippy rock and it's dry but when it's wet it's slick
Thanks for the review. I will join the others in saying that this is a real test of your vehicle. Will be interesting in a few years if the shocks are still good.

I know lifts are your pet peeve but have you ever driven a GX with a lift for your use case? I live up a washboard dirt road too (Colorado) and I find that it is MUCH more smooth with the lift and new shocks. Perhaps it’s just the sidewall with the larger tires but I love it. I have no idea what the reliability will be compared to the Tokiko’s.
@dereksfoster99 Frankly, fat tires are the cure for washboards... anything with fat tires makes that air cushion bigger... lifting the GX460 will fit fatter tires but at the expense of that stock balance I adore... the GX550 seems to "fix" this by allowing for a fatter tire at stock 550 height... that's something very exciting about the 550 to me 😃
A very small lift with bigger shock bodies makes such a big difference… stock it just doesn’t have much uptravel in the front, and the shocks last a long time but they just aren’t big enough for that magic carpet ride on washboard
Washboard roads are typical in any desert road. The roads to Chaco Canyon in New Mexico are REALLY bad with washboard roads. Most people are driving 10 mph but I float on top of them doing 40 mph in my 80 series! You should mount 65 series tires. A little more sidewall is nice. And it'll fit in the spare location too.

@freezerlunik Airing down does NOT make for a more comfortable ride, that is keyboard offroader mythology. NORMAL/DOOR psi makes for the most comfortable ride. A fatter tire allows for MORE (not less) air... ie "airspring" which is why Jeeps with fat tires ride the best on washboards. Nobody "airs down" for a "smoother ride" around here. Fat tires fix the probelm. The GX550 gets way fatter tires than the 460 all while being at stock suspension geometry... that will mediate the washboards. Airing down is great for getting more traction, but it makes ride quality even worse on washboards. You ride on a cushion of air that dissipates through your sidewalls... the more air and the more sidewall the cushier the ride.

@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD Thanks, E-rated 10 ply sidewalls are as tough as it gets. I've avoided E-ratings in the past as they are ALOT heavier than passenger tires and can harshen the ride. Unlike you, offroading probably accounts for 5% of our GX' use and that is me being honest with myself. I've found C-rated tires to be a good compromise... though I know that I'm putting myself at greater risk on trails, especially notorious areas like the razor sharp cinder rocks near Cima Dome in the Mojave NP.
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD the Jeeps today are very reliable. There is also a very popular RUclipsr who is pro Toyota has to admit that Jeep are more reliable off-road than Toyota because of their strength to deal with rough terrain. And when I say, Jeep, I mean the Wrangler and the gladiator.
OEM tokico shocks dont compare to sway away, king, fox, and icon. That Toyota is not built any better than my 2015 f150. 157,000 miles and absolutely abused offroad and non of those failures have happened to my truck. I guarantee Id blow those shocks out. KO2 wear fast and chunk out bad.
@1FiftyOverland That's keyboard offroader talk. Toyota doesn't put King or fox shocks on any of their Landcruisers or Landcruiser Prados or FJs or anything other than American sticker packages like "TRD Pro etc" Tokicos are absolutely top tier... they're not painted "neon red" so the masses don't get triggered lol... Most people have no idea what remote reservoirs are, or shock fade, and will never experience shock fade in their lifetime... remotes are only good for airborne desert racing where fade becomes an issue. Almost nobody does that in real life even out here in the desert where people actually can. Marketing and hype and neon has long infiltrated shock absorbers. When Toyota engineers make their best SUV (Landcruiser) they specify Tokico or KYB and that's not by accident 😉 Glad your F150 made it to 157k. But these Toyota's go to 1 million. And we are offroad daily, not occasionally, the use and results in this example speak volumes to the quality.
@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD Keyboard offroad talk? Guarantee I drive my f150 harder offroad than you do your Lexus. I 100% guarantee I could get those tokico shocks to fade and blow, and not from jumping it at all. A few Toyotas have made it 1 million miles and you fan boys think that is every Toyota. The vast majority of Toyotas don't make it past 300,000 miles. Toyota fanboys are funny lol.
@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD let's do a direct comparison, my f150 to your gx. Looks like you live in either the Nevada, Arizona, or California desert, which is only a few hr drive from me at the most.

@cardp17 These aren't "trails" these are our ROADS out here 😉 ✌️
OEM tokico shocks dont compare to sway away, king, fox, and icon.
That Toyota is not built any better than my 2015 f150. 157,000 miles and absolutely abused offroad and non of those failures have happened to my truck.
I guarantee Id blow those shocks out.
KO2 wear fast and chunk out bad.
I call bullshit. F150 built as well as a GX? What are you even doing here😂
@1FiftyOverland That's keyboard offroader talk. Toyota doesn't put King or fox shocks on any of their Landcruisers or Landcruiser Prados or FJs or anything other than American sticker packages like "TRD Pro etc" Tokicos are absolutely top tier... they're not painted "neon red" so the masses don't get triggered lol... Most people have no idea what remote reservoirs are, or shock fade, and will never experience shock fade in their lifetime... remotes are only good for airborne desert racing where fade becomes an issue. Almost nobody does that in real life even out here in the desert where people actually can. Marketing and hype and neon has long infiltrated shock absorbers. When Toyota engineers make their best SUV (Landcruiser) they specify Tokico or KYB and that's not by accident 😉 Glad your F150 made it to 157k. But these Toyota's go to 1 million. And we are offroad daily, not occasionally, the use and results in this example speak volumes to the quality.

@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD Keyboard offroad talk? Guarantee I drive my f150 harder offroad than you do your Lexus. I 100% guarantee I could get those tokico shocks to fade and blow, and not from jumping it at all.
A few Toyotas have made it 1 million miles and you fan boys think that is every Toyota. The vast majority of Toyotas don't make it past 300,000 miles. Toyota fanboys are funny lol.
@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD let's do a direct comparison, my f150 to your gx. Looks like you live in either the Nevada, Arizona, or California desert, which is only a few hr drive from me at the most.
Bro, where do you live? looks amazing.
