I only recently learned about these truly capable Lexus SUV's and I think your build is going to be awesome. Make sure to post lots of pictures!

Very nice! Andrew White is doing a video series right now in a GX470...rig seemed plenty capable.

I'm contemplating a GXOR build myself. I'll be interested in seeing what you do. Watched White's YouTube vids & several more & digging through FB GXOR & Lifted Lexus. Also IH8Mud had a good article on buying a used GX. Finally, FourWheeler Mag did their own build many years ago. I noticed you didn't have any armor on your plans. I figured I would have to start with sliders & then likely front & back bumpers (probably from Metal Tech 4x4) just to get all that plastic out of the way. After that, replace the rear air shocks-I hear FJ parts work.
