-8" rear diff in the GX's, there have been failures from offroading, lots swap in the 8.2" rear diffs
There's been so much development of the GX platform for offroading over the last few years that there's very few things that would be a drawback for using this platform for offroading going forward.

I have a close friend with one. I think the 470 is a better buy than a used 4R. Just pointing out some differences. There are skid plate and slider options but not as many and sometimes not the material one wants. But I agree that things improved lately even in that department.
