There's a lot of factors to consider when buying a used car. Your budget will plant you towards a GX w/ 200k+ mile, which is nothing if the truck was maintained properly. Try to find one with service records and maintenance of major components like the timing belt and water pump. No used car is...

So I'm in the middle of researching with the goal of removing my currently "close to tired" suspension and replacing the rear airbags with springs. I found a lot of info from years ago on the t4r forums, but would like honest opinions and real life experiences on the GX. It's a slow process with...

1) I just picked up an 06 GX as a family hauler, wife, one 2 year old and one on the way. Only had it for a few weeks so we will see how reliable it is, but it has the historical 2UZ engine. 2) I picked mine up with 94k, but I see a lot in the classifieds with over 200k. Just keep it maintained...

So what I did with the steering was buy a steering wheel cover. I wanted to preserve the steering wheel anyways and it covered the wood grain.

Since recently picking up the GX, I never liked the woodgrain trim. Yes, yes, it's a Lexus, I get it, and was targeted towards soccer moms and trips to the jewelry store. I had some extra vinyl wrap laying around the garage so I said to myself, let's give this a try. It's not perfect, but I also...

I took the rig down to the tire shop and found it two tires weren't balanced. After a rebalance, all is well!

I just picked up my GX470 a few days ago and am slowly learning the vehicle. One thing I have noticed is steering wheel vibration at 55-65 mph, any speed before or pass those speed, the truck drives smooth. I've been busy with work and haven't had the time to take a look at the tires closely...

Hey Guys, I'm new to the forum and a new GX470 owner. I pick up the rig in a few days and am more than excited. I'm currently also an FJ Cruiser guy, so I'm familiar with the shared parts and 120 platform, but wow the two rigs are so different! I think its the V8 and luxury/plush feel vs the...

Hey guys, I am new to the forum and was hoping this would a great place to get advice on my situation. I found an 04 LX 470 that I am thinking of purchasing. It has 115k miles. Timing belt amd water pump was changed at 95k. I made several phones calls to the dealerships where it was...
