Thank you SO much for your response. I presume the spring rate on the Moogs you linked to is similar to that found with the OEM GX springs? cuz they’re both V8s, similar front end weight I assume? I’ve already got the Billy 4600s in hand, but I appreciate the tip with the TRD take-off. Wish...

Upon further investigation, it appears that no one makes a stock ride height front coil spring for the GX470. I’ve googled the hell out of the internet, off-road forums, parts stores, etc etc. The only verifiable OEM equivalent I’ve found is just that: the OEM coil spring for $235 a piece...

Looking for advice on which light/regular duty springs to put up front to maintain both stock ride height and AS MUCH of the stock ride quality that I can. They’ll be wrapped around Bilstein 4600s. OEM is not in the budget. I’ve googled a ton and can’t find anything that doesn’t lift, or...

I know, people keep asking this on an off-road forum. But for the relatively limited amount of off-road use (4-5 times a year) that my GX sees, I’ve always been perfect satisfied with the stock suspension. My stock suspension is beat at this point, so, what I’m looking for is something that...

Thanks for the input. Using adapters and having two screens is exactly what I want to do! There’s a Pioneer carplay single din headunit with a large retractable display. I really don’t care about having two screens, since one is still needed to control HVAC, and the Pioneer screen will be...

Hey, All! The Aux stereo input in my Nav-equipped 2008 died. Leaving me one step closer to having the headunit swapped out for something carplay compatible. My understanding is that replacement is a fairly straightforward process when using something like a Beatsonic adapter, etc. All...

GX470 owner here with a brand new unopened set of XenonDepot Xtreme LED C-Series 921 T16 bulbs. These fit all GX460 back up/reverse lights. They retail for $50. I’d like to trade for some other LEDs of comparable quality (no off-brand stuff, thanks!) that will work on a GX 470. It doesn’t...

replacement plugs for...? sorry, never done this job before!

So I went with the gray coated Callahan calipers for the rear. And the red coated power stop calipers for the front. I also got the Stoptech (Centric) stainless lines for the front. Question: what are the rubber plugs that come with the new stainless lines for? I assume that they are...

(I posted this in the general tech page but have received no answers as of yet, and since the GX commonly suffers from stuck caliper pistons I’m assuming plenty of you have swapped your calipers out at this point) I’m going to be installing new calipers on all four wheels of my GX 470. I found...

I’m going to be installing new calipers on all four wheels of my GX 470. I found good videos on how to flush and bleed, but I haven’t found a definitive answer on WHEN I should flush and bleed the brake system. Do I do it as I go along, after each new caliper is installed? Wheel by wheel? Or...

ha! I just now posted a similar request for feedback about new/remanufactured calipers. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/remanufactured-calipers.1226205/ yes, it is my understanding that the gx470 brakes suffer from stuck caliper pistons that won’t retract fully. it already ruined a couple...

Looking to replace my calipers. Anyone care to share their experiences with either remanufactured or aftermarket calipers? REMANUFACTURED Autozone has “Duralast” Oreilly has “Brakebest” Summit has “ACDelco, Cardone & Raybestos” NEW Centric Posi Quiet Raybestos Element3 Powerstop StopTech is...

I put a set of Wildpeaks on my GX 30,000 miles ago they’ve always balanced just fine, the truck runs smooth and they’re wearing really well.

yes, the GX is full-time 4 wheel drive. wouldn't replacing in pairs also cause issues?
