The only thing I wish I had is a locker in the back but havenÂ’t been stuck in the gx.

Thanks for the input. Guess I should clarify on the existing build of my 4runner. It’s a 97 with factory elocker and 180k. Fully built, geared, Trutrac front, 35’s tubbed and clearanced for full stuff no body lift. Armored, lotus axles, winch, etc. It works really really well for anything I have thrown at it. Just wanted to get thoughts on how a similar built GX would fair as a wheeler/ family camping rig compared to a built 3rd gen.
We have an 07 GX with 130k on it in great condition that my wife currently drives. ItÂ’s bone stock except for some RRW wheels and 265/70/17Â’s.
If we sold the 4runner and built the Lexus to the same level, would there be anything that you would still be left wanting? Brother has an 08 4runner and the ATRAC has surprised on a few occasions.
Stock for stock, I agree that a GX is a better platform but what about fully built with the current aftermarket support.
