    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    Some progress on the modifications. Unpackaged the Becky and am impressed by the assembly quality, welds, etc. It is nearly finished, and took me about eight hours. Some of that time was removing additional items and painting the rear chrome piece, so maybe five hours if only doing the mount...

    Discovery 2 Vs GX470

    I own them both. A 2007 GX470 and a 2003 Disco II with a diesel conversion. I have also owned a 2001 and had a 2004 G4 too. Buy the GX ;)

    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    Cool to know you pulled that off. My concern was proximity to the suspension components. Keep us up to date on how it is working. And thanks for the stock suspension parts offer.

    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    You have a few wonderful vehicle in the garage for sure! 200 and a 460= perfect. The challenge is always weight, and I try to practice what I preach. . . I also really like the tire on the back, and it is just ok to install something where form edges out function in the purchase decision...

    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    Great vehicle! I have really enjoyed my time driving Prados, which is what prompted the GX purchase. I must admit, this was my favorite Prado to drive ;)

    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    When I was exploring Tasmania in a Prado, I took all the measurements, and the factory tire carrier does not translate to the Lexus. The entire door is quite different structurally, although the hinges are the same position. The Prado door is also recessed slightly for the mount and for the tire.

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    Did a little testing with the new iKamper Mini. Fairly light and compact, which I appreciated. Always fun in the snow :) This was a few months ago I also had the chance to stretch the G's legs a bit in the Sonoran Desert :)

    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    It has been such a long time since we embarked on a new project vehicle. Crazy to think it has been over 10 years since the Discovery I project and that I have been driving the G-Wagen for over a decade (finished that project over four years ago). So, in mid-2018 I purchased a 2007 GX470 as a...

    What is the best motorcycle adventure that you've had?

    I have enjoyed a few wonderful adventure in South America, but my favorite was a trip through eastern Colombia towards the Venezuelan border. . . that was when things got interesting ;) https://expeditionportal.com/dodging-gunboats-and-taming-elephants/

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    Oh, we can be almost brutal in our reviews (and have lost advertisers because of it), but we need to get our hands on the product. This article clearly states itself as NEWS, not a review, and not an opinion editorial. I am not trying to defend the article- maybe it truly sucks, but it was not a...

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    We avoid hearsay and speculation intentionally, as it never serves the reader. Companies go bankrupt all the time and we never really know the details about how they rise from the ashes. We have a responsibility as journalists, and as a site with millions of readers to avoid fake news and...

    Front Locker is it needed?

    If you are not rock crawling, save the money and use it for fuel to go someplace cool. The 4Runner has a very effective traction control system, and when combined with the factory rear locker, it is an excellent performer off-road. Use caution taking any advice on the suitability of a limited...
