    Good price on a GX470?

    13K out the door for a no rust, no accident, white GX with 97K? Offer what ever you want, the worst they can say is No, but 13 large sounds like a great deal! I think white is an awesome color on a GX, just be aware some peeps are having paint peeling issues with the white paint. Moreover, I may...

    Grom VLine Group Buy 2nd Round

    I know a guy. ...but he is East Coast. If no one can point you towards a Cali expert you might be well served to start a new thread here. Also, I have seen discussion about Grom issues on lexusforums. My Grom VLine 2 i's only 2 weeks old and crashed often. Now, it will not even bring up the boot...

    If I Were to Start All Over Again with a Stock GX470, I Would...

    If I was to buy again, I would look for a GX470 with no navigation and perhaps no KDSS (makes buying many parts much easier and their is more non-KDSS armor parts out there).

    Thank you for your reply. It is the KDSS that is the problem, and while I thought I read every product description carefully, apparently part of this is my fault because 2/4 of the products say not KDSS compatible in the product description.

    Grom VLine Group Buy 2nd Round

    Just my 2 cents: I have a USA Spec BT-45 Toy in my 2004 GX470 and it works flawlessly I have a Grom Vline2 in my 2008 GS 350 and it's so buggy... crashes often...all I want to do is rUn Waze and Pandora....I emailed tech support and am waiting on their response. I still might send it back...

    Picking up an 06 Saturday. Input needed

    I recommend blue driver or similar OBD2 scanner to check for codes/erased codes and a digital paint thickness meter. Then, if it passes all that plus my visual inspection then I pay a mechanic 120 bucks to make sure. Several GX I looked at had the emission codes erased and my scanner caught that.

    3rd Gen 4R, GX470, 4th Gen 4R or 5th Gen SR5?

    GX470 Agree with Homer. All I'm missing is a 2010+, 8.2, 3.73 FJ complete rear axle with OEM e locker. Plus the GX470 is helpful in my experience in getting the GF to join in the adventure because she is not down with Army style Spartan camping. I guess she influenced me to get the GX...

I just researched online and called around. I found...

    School me on kdss (potential purchase)

    I have a 2004 GX470 with KDSS. I have a 3 inch Dobinson lift and it is my understanding that 3 inch lift is the maximum you can go with KDSS, but that is all I want amyway. As previous posters have said, make sure sliders and armor is KDSS compatible.
