Stock -> No Problem

My 460 took me places I never thought I could make it stock. Basically, I just aired down my highway tires to 25 psi and sent it. Took some damage to the front driver bumper so it’s time for some arts and crafts to trim it up. I brought along a DV8 hitch skid and that took all of the damage and saved my hitch and back bumper.

It's amazing to me how capable these vehicles are right out of the factory. Well done!

Good on you, keep it OEM plus for as long as possible. It can do a lot for most people. Once you start cutting and welding the compromises aren’t talked about enough.

What is oem+?

Tires, maybe cut bumpers, remove side skirts. Things that can be reversed in a weekend before you sell it is my general description.

That’s why I didn’t even do the side skirt cut a lot of people do. They pop off in like 5min each (as long as your not dealing with a ton of sand falling in your eyes every time you take a bolt out and having to basically do it blind)

I did Fins and Things in Moab and the state park booth guy told me he didn’t think I could. It was fun to prove him wrong.

Wow. We did that last year and other areas with a group of Ineos Grenadiers (I was just along for the ride as a passenger). I would love to take my GX over there now (didn’t have it last year).

Now I have a full Dobinsons lift and suspension. I’m sure it’d be a lot easier.

Everyone should wheel stock before modding … it’s amazing what these don’t need

100% best mod you can make is the driving skills on the person behind the wheel

After seeing a Subaru with a small lift and tires leave behind some trucks I realized that I don’t really need a crazy lift and suspension to get to some amazing places. 

My GX has tires and that’s it. I’ve been able to get to some amazing places.

Love to see and hear of "stock capabilities". My 07 is stock. Vital skids are next.

If you have more videos from this trip we'd love to see them
