So I did some work on the front end and had to get an alignment. Interestingly the print out I got, caster was blank. Which would explain why its rubbing really badly on the splash guard on the passenger side and on the side step on the drivers side. So I wanted to ask if there was a...

So in my gx470, my rear passenger window isn't working. The symptoms are that the driver's master switch and the passenger's single switch don't work. As in the window doesn't move at all with either. And the passenger single switch light will blink twice. Video evidence. I know when replacing...

Sorry for not up updating this post. But yes, I did figure it out and got it fixed. Turns out it was the rear cylinder leaking. I really kick myself in the butt for not noticing it when I was inspecting it. But I didn't get much of a good chance to look under it when buying (I later found the...

And a final update for anyone that comes across this in the future with the same issue. I ended up leaving the thermocure's rust treatment product in the system for about 3 weeks instead of an entire month because I was running out of patience. After draining and opening the passenger side...

I emailed a few different vendors about the listed compatibility differences and one that has replied to me said that ARB doesn't support Lexus. Which didn't answer my question. But after doing some more digging. It looks like the ARB kit won't fit without modification. So I'm probably going a...

I found a guy on the gxor Facebook group that bought the 5421110 ARB kit and he confirmed it doesn't fit. It looks like it'll work if you are willing to modify and maybe make an extension bracket for it.

So I recently bent up my stock "rock protector" and ding up the underside of my gx470 hitting a local trail to me. So it's time to upgrade. I've been eyeing the ARB skid plate for it's balance of full coverage, cost, and moderate protection. But I'm seeing some inconsistencies with listed...

So I need to bleed the brakes to my new to me gx470. But I live by myself and don't have anyone to ask to pump the brakes and operate the key for me while I crack the bleeder. I can maybe ask my neighbor if I really needed to. But I don't want to bother them if I can help it. So. I've always...

What did you use to reseal the drain fitting? I have both Teflon tape and rtv on hand. Just not sure which would be better. Also, for an update. I used thermocure's rust treatment flush thing. Going to leave it on there for like a month and flush. Will see where that gets me. My last resort...

So I bought this gx470 and am doing routine maintenance and want to change the coolant. Especially considering I didnt have any records for it and the coolant is a SOLID and THICCC brown and with as much rust particles floating as McDonalds uses in their fries . When I go to drain the block by...

244k miles, completely stock, one owner. It looks like the original owner was good on keeping up on maintenance initially. It was mostly all dealer maintained until the later years. I'll look into the shutter valves. But the underside looks pretty much untouched.

Hello! first post here and new to 120 platform and off roading in general. I bought a GX470 with an intermittent KDSS light. Itll usually turn on after driving for a few minutes and then stay on. But will sometimes turn off randomly. But if I power cycle the car. The light will turn off and...
