AC compressor is out. Going to get that replaced. Shop also found a cracked exhaust manifold, seized eccentric bolts (P/O said he always kept up with alignment, which must have been a lie) and a few other things. $12k to address it all...... For those of you that have dealt with the cracked...

Helpful, thanks!

Awesome thanks. I feel like I’m hyper-aware of every single little noise on these 20yr old rigs 😂

@Green4Gulf - Is the consensus that this is okay? I have the exact same issue (RPMs go from 500 to 700 for a bit when idling, but stops when the climate is turned off). Is this normal or does it indicate a larger problem? Thanks

DITCH LIGHT WIRING UPDATE I figured out the best way to wire these Auxbeam ditch lights so that they're only able to turn on when the truck is on. It's funny, a lot of people I see that offer advice just say something along the lines of "you wired it wrong". ok thanks.. Anyway, here's what I...

Yeah I thought about that as well. How hard was it to take the frame off the seat and fit it to your boxes? I was also thinking about just finding a 3rd row at a junkyard near me so I don't have to ruin my third row.

DITCH LIGHTS Ditch lights done....for the most part. Will add pictures in a bit. Mounting the CBI Offroad brackets wasn't too much of a pain - I like that they're solid-mounted and not on the bottom of the hood. Wiring was a little tedious but nothing crazy - the toughest part was getting...

Starting this thread so I can document my ownership with a new-to-me 2006 GX470 (133k). I've been looking for a GX for about a year and a half, and recently found one that I was really fond of so I pulled the trigger. Previous owner might see this, what's up man. When I purchased the GX, it...
