Tried that and had no luck. Just got things figured out this afternoon. Thought the battery in the keyfob was possibly dead, so got a new battery. Still no luck. Grabbed my other key fob and viol'a - it worked. Lock/Unlock and it shut up. Just drove her around a bit with the new battery in...

Last June I picked up an '04 GX, and drove it regularly until late August. Had a family issue and had to travel up to WA for a number of weeks, and then was back and forth for most of the last few months. Last time I drove the GX was in the first week of December. When I got back a week ago...

Vlad - can you expound a bit on which tank you have, where sourced, and the investment? Sounds like 21 gal, nearly doubling the volume! Cool. Is it thick aluminum or is it steel, (or come with a skid plate/option for one)? Love to look at an option like this myself.

I owned a bike shop for years - sold both the Kuat and the Thule rear racks. The One-up racks are really nice, very light and have a great mounting system, but get obliterated if you get bumped in a rear-ender. The Kuat and Thule are a good bit tougher, but also weigh a lot more. If you get...

So - I was on I-5 South enroute back towards the Bay Area. Saw a Black GX that was lifted, had a recovery hook in the rear tow receiver. I passed you on the right side driving a white Ford Transit van - tried to get attention but you had a passenger in the front seat. Just wondering if it was...

So - driving down I-5 today South of Seattle, saw a Black, lifited GX that got off on an exit near Auburn... I passed you on the right driving a white Ford Transit van. Anyone on this forum?

I also posted this in the general tech forum - hadn't had a response from that, and since this is in my GX I was hoping someone here may be more likely to have an idea if I am barking up the right tree.... ... Recently purchased an '04 GX 470 with 208K miles. Overall in nice shape, a bit of...

Added myself - SF East Bay. Looking forward to lots of info exchange and even meeting up for some camping or just a day trip with some of you folks in the future.

Hi all, I'm a newb to these forums. Recently purchased an '04 GX 470 with 208K miles. Overall in nice shape, a bit of paint fade but I think it will polish out. I have noticed a low-to-mid frequency vibration. The sensation is that the entire vehicle seems to have a gentle pulse or thrum as...

Congrats! That light blue will be easier to keep looking clean than my Meridian Blue Pearl.... My Code Reader was purchased on Amazon for about $25 and does everything that I need it to do, as a 'home mechanic'. Allows me to ID the code causing the light/symptom, I can look up the code on my...

I always understood "no fault" to be considered when both drivers were moving and ran into each other. It was meant to reduce court tie-ups and each individual's insurance policy covered their own repairs... Being rear-ended by someone committing a felony (DUI) is not a "no fault" condition...

This is interesting... I just purchased an '04 and today felt a vibration that I didn't notice during the test drive - lower speed, not really in the steering wheel, though the vibration does kinda resonate a bit in the wheel. It pretty much disappears at around 45 mph - and most of my test...

Thanks for the info! I am in the process of putting a small house on a little piece of land near Sunriver. Been looking forward to exploring the area. Between my MTB, Dual Sport and now this little rig, I think I will have my bases covered to go play. I'm planning on about a 2" or so lift...

Thanks, I will probably replace the suspension with a 2" lift, and go to a larger diameter tire - in fact, I think you put a 255/75-17 on yours if I recall? How did they fit (if you had it that way) with the stock suspension? Any rubbing? While the adjustable height rear suspension works...

Well, things worked out and I picked up my new-to-me '04 GX this evening. I think I got a good deal, and drove it about 40 miles home. This baby really likes to cruise at 75 mph... A few of the stretches of road I frequent are enforced at around 60 so I'll have to watch it! Seller also had a...
