From what I've heard the only way to go is OEM or Doug Thorley long tube headers. Dorman/aftermarket ones suffer from lower quality catalysts which fail a lot sooner than original equipment ones. I chose to go DT and happy I did, definitely advise you to do the same if you can.

I've got a good shop in Brooklyn that I have been going to for about 20 years. They know GX's, mine have been getting serviced there for many years. I can do undercoating there on demand if you'd like as well...

Literally looking for the same info as one of my OEM rear shocks finally started to show signs of leaking. OEM rear shocks from Lexus are $1k a piece which is basically the cost of an entry level suspension lift/shock set. Trick is, I want ro keep the rear air bags like the O.P.

I had this same issue on my 2004 GX. Ended up being a faulty amplifier. Repaired the unit by sending it to United Radio in NY and all has been fine since.

Looks fine, FluidFilm or similar will keep it in good shape for a long time.

My 2 cents is, make sure the airbags/shocks/struts/springs are in good shape, and tires... tires are pretty big on the comfort level in my experience with these trucks. I am on stock suspensions(with fresh rear air bags) and LOVE my stock size Michelin Defenders, absolutely great ride. I am sure...

Yes I am. Have been running them for a bit now. You can find photos and a pseudo writeup a few posts up in this thread. No issues or regrets, the truck is a beast, no lights, just added power/mpg(mine increased about 2mpg so far) same as @Rednexus . As a matter of fact I followed his insight...

BTW @04UZJ100 if you do some creative googling you can still get the spacers from different places. Although they have gone up in price since they've been pulled from Amazon/eBay/etc.

At least I am assuming its a ground wire? While I was installing my Doug Thorley headers last weekend I noticed a clearly crusty green wire hanging off my front left strut tower. I've done some cursory reading about the "Big 3" upgrade on the 120 platform but can't make heads or tails of it or...

Lightning strike?

Thanks for the input. Its a nice SOTP improvement with the factory catback and Y pipe. I'm happy with the LT's. Some photos of the install. I elected to do it myself because I had a friend who let me use his shop/lift/tools to do the job. Took about 17 hours taking my time to clean/soak the...

Threw on some Doug Thorley LT's this weekend onto my new to me 06. My good friend let me borrow his lift/tools for about 17 hours lol. Lots more photos. Might post more in another thread. Long job but happy with the results. Helped that the truck wasn't rusty and all the bolts/studs...

So jealous of the beautiful land you guys get to explore! It real hard to do in the NY metro area. Truck looks fire.
