Fluids. Changed all diffs and engine oil. Think it was all original w 123k miles. very glad the front dif plugs loosened without issue. Only a little extra grunt to get the fill broken loose, otherwise it was smooth. Think my actuator seal has a slight leak out of the transfer case. Everyone...

You got better results than I did with that kit. PO did a number on mine, I need to work through more grit. Nice job!

Well, I should start by saying I don’t use my sunroof at all, it doesn’t actually open since I bought it, So I took the redneck approach. I pushed the glass to max height using the 4 torx screws (probably not required) and then wedged some thick rubber grommets from my old suspension in the...

Mine too! hard to beat $200 wheels that look good

Finally installed my Dobinsons IMS a few weeks back. C59-302 springs on the front (2” stock weight) C59-505 springs in the rear (1.5-1.75”) with Firestone helper bags. the rear seemed to sit higher than 2”. Didn’t grab measurements from the axle to fender prior to install. Also cleared the...

Thanks for the feedback. From what I’ve ready Fox does require more service of between 30-50k miles which feels excessive. I also don’t put a ton of miles on a car annually. That being said, IMS doesn’t really provide a recommended rebuild interval that I can find. Pretty ambiguous…...

Hey Everyone, Bought an ‘03 470 and have been slowly making it mine, including adding some 255/80r17, and is now time to lift. I’ve been planning on getting Dobs IMS all the way around as I think it’s a good middle of the road option that is serviceable. I don’t need top of the line as I’m not...

I dont think so, I never heard back when I asked about it via PM

Thanks everyone! Seems like it’s operating as it should, and will monitor as I get into warmer weather and climb the passes out here in CO. I haven’t been able to get it on the highway this week with the holidays but I’m confident I’m getting a reading as I’ve seen as low as 55 in the AM and it...

Just installed my scangauge 2 in my GX470 that I've had for 2 months. I added the Transmission Temp X-gauge (TFT) which was a process in of itself. It turns out Toyota was in process of changing protocols between ISO/KWPS and CANSF, so I have the ISO/ KWPS protocol. None of the 4 listed on the...

Ooo rig looks nice! What sliders are those?

That’s what I was hoping to hear, and makes the most sense to me. It seemed like a bad “emergency” backup if the manual lock requires a battery/chip in the fob. I haven’t owned a fancy truck before though… I’ll pull the door panel when I can get to it and see what I find. Hopefully it’s obvious.

I was curious if it was that simple or if there’s some electrical ordeal with a programmed key etc. need to pull the door panel and see what’s going on. There’s no resistance (as if the lock were jammed) when turning the key. Key fob is kind of working again. Took it apart and added a little...

Hey all, Like the title says I’m locked out of my new to me 2003 gx470. The key fob still has a red light but I think the battery is going out. Easy, just unlock manually, right? No…nothing happens when I put my key in the door and turn it. I’ve tried holding it, turning both ways, nothing…...

Finally got my first GX. 2003 470 in Ash Blue Mica with 115k miles. Has some cosmetic blems but not bad at all. Drive train is immaculate and it is buttery smooth, definitely kept up on maintenance. Today, installed Grom BT3, removed old XM wiring that included the sketchiest charging method...
