Here are some cheap and easy ideas/mods for your new GX: Here's a great center console tray. You'll need to use a heat gun to flex the sides inward just a wee bit, but it works great and better than the factory tray...

I just use "0000"! 😁

Custom length cables fornmy winch install. The look and feel great. Also showing what you should get for a fuse hllder. Thanks to the car stereo world for that.

Not sure if a seat swap is possible, considering the wiring required from the head unit to the seats. They would have to have the same head unit and all connections. Note, I'm referring to the person who'd be receiving the seats with the...

You could swap the exhaust tip, for one that is turned down.

Yeah, I have a Pak Mule and can load it so that the barn door still swings, but there is some packing management involved. I'll actually be getting a swing hitch in the near future which will illiminate that issue, and may even reduce the...

You can definitely open your rear door with a hitch carrier on a GX. I use mine for one very specific purpose. FYI, that's a $50 Harbor Freight ATV carrier, which just barely cleared the rear door. I've since gotten a nice aluminum carrier that...

Driving dynamics and COG are also better with using the back vs the top.

All valid points, however for me the benefits outway the cons. 1) less height and drag added to the vehicle (I find that even ski racks to the roof for carrying fishing poles adds drag and decreases mileage) 2) Added weight is kept low...

See a lot of those hitch carriers. Only issues: DON'T FORGET IT'S THERE when backing up!!! Can't open your rear door, but as a consolation, you do have access to the rear window. Hope you're not also wanting to bring along a couple of bikes too...

I wondered about the PT 4wd. Now it boils down to - what else could you do with the extra money you'd spend on the LX? Is that greater than the extra enjoyment you'd have driving the LX? You can't really go wrong.

I just picked up a 2023 GX460 with 13k miles and I'm digging it so far. I'm glad to see people are enjoying their OTT Tunes because I had one on my 4runner and loved it so I was hoping I could expect the same with my GX. Cheers

WARN on all of my quads. My father still has a nearly 45 year old WARN on an old Chevy pickup …IIRC.. it is a M8274 that he still uses all the time and works perfectly. Looks like model in this article...

I'm confused... where is the magnesium chloride coming from?

Hasn't let me down yet. Funny thing, I actually had to use it on our seven day camping trip a couple weeks ago. We were just about to the Sierra foothills and stopped at this gas station to fill up and let the grand kiddies stretch their legs. It...

I have had smittybilt stuff before and never EVER again.

With all due respect, how much was your winch? It is a 10k lb winch, right? I couldn't get all the winch info off your photo. My winch on Amazon was less than the current price of $576.19, since I purchased it seven years ago. But still, it's...

I am going to put a badlands synthetic rope on it. There is a $500 delta on the VR10 between steel and dyneema.

Nice looking drawers! There's lots of posts regarding this, some on top of the third row, some with the third row remove. Personally, I prefer keeping the third row for whom ever the future owner may be even though I never use them (maybe twice...

When you say, "...going over bumps.", what kind of bumps and how fast? Slow rolling speed pumps and driveways or cracks, dips and rises on the highway? Can you make it rattle standing next to the car, with all the doors open (to hear the noise)...

Hi all, just picked up a 2023 GX460 with 13k miles and like it a lot so far. However, I've noticed an intermittent rattling on the passenger side while going over bumps in the road. I can't quite isolate it myself and I just moved to a new town...

I was referring to the O.P. :). For family camping it is hard to beat a trailer - certainly love ours and being able to keep the inside of the rig un-cluttered with crap. If it's just me or me and one other person, we bring hardly anything and...

This button was different in pre 2020 models so not sure if attached service manual applicates.

Sorry for the miss-post Rednexus. Another great thing about a trailer is that everything is already packed, e.g. pillows, sleeping bags/blankets/sheets, etc., ALL cooking supplies including fridge, camp chairs, and any other ancillary is already...

You DO have the synthetic, right? I've had both, currently mounted is a SmittyBilt X2O-10K (waterproof), and I'll NEVER have wire cable line again on a winch! Between the weight, wire splinters, not floating (when the line is in the water), and...
