    Bison Gear vendor - Fair Warning / Caution

    Figured I would share experience here: I bought a few things from Bison Gear, who makes a lot of very custom stuff for GX. The parts themselves were of acceptable quality, but the customer service was insanely bad. I'm used to really great service from aftermarket vendors, but figured I would...

    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    Good news - did it!!! Thank you for the idea and extra push. Got out old MBP 2012 and it worked beautifully immediately - believe it or not dealer quote for doing this job for me...$350. But the software is slow, and it takes an hour or two with two guys (at least on my '03, some other years...

    I didn’t even think to try an old device. Planning to just surrender and take to Toyota dealer this week Might try that as last ditch effort.

    Top hat stuck to shock mount

    Well for those who might be curious, finally got mine out after hours. Not 100% sure the straw that broke camels back - I was soaking whole thing in WD40 and PB for hours, and reattached shock only to pull on, tried lots of banking around w mallet. When it finally broke free I took a...

    Seeing Double!

    Thought you all would get a kick. Friend and I got both the GXs in his garage for some work…makes it nice seeing two looks at every job. I’ve joked with him we should buy a salvage one so between us we can part through it over the coming years.

    New GX470!

    Funny enough the shop who did TB accidentally punched thru my perfectly healthy radiator. Replaced it with Denso free of charge, was grateful they made it right and got a preventative swap out of it!
