    Intro and First Question ... Headlights

    Rock Auto also sells the Depo headlights. If you wait for a sale, you can usually get a set of the Sport headlights from Bell Lexus for under $500.

    Charcoal vapor cannister - aftermarket?

    I started getting this same error again after replacing every part and evap hose I could. I really need to do a smoke test but I’ve been lazy and I’ve never done one before. One thing I notice but probably just a coincidence, error seems more frequent in colder weather.

    DIY Non-Nav Harness Extension

    Eldar is from Europe and sometimes difficult to contact, but if you’re patient he usually does get back to people. It takes a few months, at least, in my experience, but the harness is wonderful for those of us not clever enough to do the wiring ourselves. The email I used to get in touch with...

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    Not sure if this would help, it’s a thread specifically about harness for this conversion. I’m not an electrical guy so I paid for one https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/diy-non-nav-harness-extension.1355429/

    ASFIR 4x4 Skids are back

    I had the Asfir gas tank skid already installed so I can’t help there. But I do recall the transmission skid was a pain to install anyway, and I think I had to drill one hole in my frame. I wound up keeping the gas tank skid but sold the others, they were a major pain to take on/off and I don’t...

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    I got a 2008 climate control off of car-part.com a few months ago for $80 shipped including the metal brackets. Resold it easily, first time I ever made money from the gx.

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    I don’t believe there are any lights. I got a refurbished amp off of eBay, I can’t remember all the details but the install notes referenced a fuse to check if no audio even after swapping amp. Mine worked so I never looked. I’ve also had an issue where I can hear audio, but barely, even at max...

    Eibach Options

    I’ve been running the Eibach kit with adjustable rears for a few years, it’s been great. I didn’t want a big lift so I used the lowest setting. Actually adjusting the rears is not easy, at least in my experience with the wrench Eibach provided but that’s about my only complaint. I did also...

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    Not sure if it matters but I got a SKF front from rock auto and it’s made in China. I haven’t installed it yet, could be perfectly fine.

    GX470 Trans Fluid Drain & Fill Tips/Write-up

    I have seen many transmission fluid questions over the years, the general consensus seems to be exchanging the fluid(drain and fill repeatedly or at each oil change for a bit) is safe. Flush is bad. Some folks leave it be but that makes no sense to me, I don’t think the lifetime fluid thing is...

    Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough

    Sorry, my contact with him was a few years ago. It was not super fast, but relatively steady and I got the harness in a few months. There is another nav thread here where someone shows all the necessary steps, what to buy, etc. Hopefully someone will start making these, the conversion really is...

    GX 470 FSM .pdf for download?

    I have a 2008 and the files are fine. I know the older years have a few differences but for the most part these are what you need.

    2009 GX470, Eibach Stage 2/Load leveling sys rear, FJ steelies, 275/70r17?

    I have the Eibach rear load leveling kit and up front the Stage 1 kit. I installed many years ago when load leveling kit first came out. I run 265/70/17 and have had zero issues rubbing. I didn’t have to adjust anything, not even fender liners. I have aftermarket wheels that are -10 offset I...

    GX 470 FSM .pdf for download?

    I use the front crossmember which I *think* the FSM is pointing too. It is under one of the factory skid plates but I cannot recall which off top of my head. Anyway, if you get under the gx and look it’s fairly straightforward where to jack. I just did this a few weeks ago, the skid plate...

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    I am fairly confident my gx has more rust on one bolt than you have on your entire vehicle.
