When you replace, I would recommend Arnott's. They lock into the bottom perch unlike the OEM and most of the cheaper Amazon replacements. They also seem to be the highest quality out of the non OEM options. Here's a good thread to read through if you haven't seen it, lots of good info on...

And reading more there is actually a guide to replacing the dryer assembly. And I read further ahead to make sure I would get anything else in this post, hopefully all of this is helpful info and I'm not spamming the thread too much. But the assembly itself can be replaced, so it's not part of a...

Posting this in a separate reply since the pages are kind of big images. But here's a closer look at the system. I'm not sure how the desiccant and dryer and filter all play into each other, but there are torque specs for removal of them if needed. I'm not seeing any diagrams of the interior of...

This is actually an interesting question, I'm surprised I haven't ever seen it asked before but I'm assuming since most people get rid of the air ride it's never been something that comes up, and if it has caused problems it might have shown other symptoms like a dying compressor which again...

Awesome write up, I just replaced my bags with the Arnott bags so it really helped since a lot of guides don't bring up locking them into the bottom perch and then the top perch. My one piece of advice to add now that I've done it, don't bother with the drip line tubing or trying to use the...

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone may have done this before and would be able to give some advice. One of my rear license plate screws on my 2004 470 just keeps spinning, the bracket or holder or whatever you would call it that's in the door broke free. I've seen other threads on here and club...

Goodmorning GXOR, it's your friendly neighborhood noob asking for advice from many of you experienced experts. I'm planning on staying stock height for a little while since a lift can be a bit of an investment (also the air bags are pretty comfy for day to day) but once my tires wear down I...

Alright, posting a last update since I finally made a purchase in case anyone was wondering! Not sure if the thread will help anyone in the future, but at least they'll be able to see my decision making process at a minimum. Back to the 2004 I posted about. 120k miles, full lexus service...

Yeah that's what I was thinking when it came to the other issues. Looks like there's a good mechanic near me that specializes in japanese cars, mainly toyotas. If I get the truck I'll definitely give them a shout. Do you have any recommendations on where to get parts from online? I didn't...

Yes, that’s where I got all the maintenance records from that I mentioned above. I’ve been keeping an eye out for private sales, but as of right now there’s only a couple within a few hundred miles of me and they aren’t in the best condition. With the 04 they tried selling me extras but I...

Alright, update time for anyone interested! Went to look at the 2004 and it confirmed what I was thinking. The sales rep before I even mentioned the location changes said the guy was working at the local base down the street, so it was definitely an Officer and the sales rep also said the car...

Honestly I would be considering private sales if there was any within a couple hundred miles of me. 1 hour isn't too much of my time though, I just want to make sure I won't get there and it's trashed like the one I just saw. The one near me was really deceptive with the pictures, it was...

Thanks for the link! I have actually been reading that religiously since I started seriously looking into buying one though. I was just hoping some people would have anecdotal experiences or tips they could give. Anyways, I have an update already since I went to look at the '06. I think I've...

Hey guys, long time lurker and hopefully a future owner! Just looking for any advice here, recently 2 different GX470's popped up near me. One is a 2006 with 117k miles, clean carfax, two owner. The other is a 2008, clean carfax, one owner, at 75k miles. The 2006 has had all the major...
