2008 GX470 TPMS disable I pulled the red box under the glovebox apart and connected the blue & green/red wires inside the control module. I opted to not solder but just “clamp” the two wires together with solid wire.

Let me see: -You could easily have this bumper and a spare tire in the OEM location. Just depends on the tire size, but the OEM hitch takes up more room than the bumper. -You COULD bolt the rear plate to the frame's cross bar but I see no reason for it. This bumper bolt to the frame in more...

Came here just to see your homemade bed tray and what a great build thread! I gotta say I liked the blue better. It's all super clean though. I'm impressed

Why do you need to replace the transmission on your '09? What are the problems? I have an '08 and the transmission is my least favorite part of the truck. I'd love to swap out for the 460's transmission.

I'm just catching up on your progress. I recently installed DT long tube headers on my '08. I pulled all the studs out, cleaned them up and reinstalled them after the header was in place using a "star" socket. I put the OEM nuts on and torqued to spec. It was a huge pain in the butt.

Anyone that has an 06-09ish, Pearl White GX470 know our paint is s***ty. To help cover up most of my horribly chipped hood, give me a good sticking plane for the solar panel and add style(maybe), I opted to wrap the center sections in 3M matte black vinyl. It came out pretty good if you don't...

This is exactly what just showed up in my mailbox. Looks like it'll do the job just fine. Thanks.

What 90deg spacers did you go with? I'm about to install DT headers. Thanks!

I'll post up in my build thread when it's done. We don't have KDSS and will run the same sway in the back. It just takes different sway bar mounts on the axle side.

Every locking system has it's pros and cons. For me, having an e-locker fail in the LOCKED position requiring a late night of trail wrenching to be able to safely drive home on pavement (from Moab to Seattle) is a big con. It had to be manually unlocked and thankfully we had cell service to find...

I have a rear 8.2 and a front from a GX460 about ready to swap in to my 470. They have the 3.91 ratio and I'm adding an air locker to the rear.

I used this to program my torque pro.

IMO a higher amp alternator isn't for faster charging of bigger batteries, it's for powering all the electronics while the motor is on. Have you ever seen someone rev the engine up while winching? this is because the alternator isn't making enough amperage at idle to run the winch well. Now...

We have an Alucab 270 and love it’s quick, one person opening and closing. Don't even have to put my beer down.
