    Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean

    Thanks for the tips. I plan to start the trip the last week of September with arrival in Tuktoyaktuk 10 days later. Will install the LRA aux tank in addition to some Rotopax because the range of my GX now is not going to make it to Eagle Plains on a full tank. I was planning to go in March...

    Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean

    Thanks for the suggestion as this is something I will need to do. There isn't reliable premium fuel available beyond Whitehorse so I'll have to use 87 Octane for a good portion of the journey in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. How is the LRA saddle tank working for you? I think I will...

    I have asked that question for people with portals but no one has responded. Supposedly, the ride should be OEM. I have heard that there have been some issues with the portals that nothing public. More like private campfire talk which gives me pause about taking the plunge.

    I believe the 74Weld portals already provided the lift so needed the Westcott collar/space to level the vehicle. Probably not enough weight in the rear to require higher rated springs.

    Hey Mark, How much does your rig weigh? I'm contemplating adding portals and a rear bumper but quite concerned about the overall weight. Thanks.

    🛠️ Member Build Low Cost - Improvised Drawer Options for GX 550 cargo area.

    I can answer this for you. It is a recessed power strip that plugs into your battery system like an Ecoflow or Jackery to supply power in the rear. You can find it here, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN533DYT?tag=lexusgx-20. There are other options of course. Mine is located on the right since...

    Groovywhale17 also had this drawer system completed by Overlander Woodworks. Here's the thread if you want some more photos of his setup. https://www.lexusgxforum.com/threads/groovy-incognito-ot.2982/#post-40189

    I paid $2,200 for my configuration which included drawer system and platform for batteries and storage boxes. Irwin can make a sleeping platform or whatever platform you want. Here’s a look at what I have.

    I would suggest Overlander Woodworks if your budget is $2,000 -$2,500. They make high quality custom drawer setup/sleeping platforms. Whatever you can dream up they can make it. They did my GX and other GXs as well. Look up their Instagram page for contact info.
