I have lived in Eastern WA for 5 years and experienced the low trans temps while running the Hayden 678. My commute to work is 10 miles, but the trans fluid had troubles getting above 100. I switched over to the Hayden 698 this past December. Though we had a very mild winter I did notice a...

I wouldn't worry about it either. If you install them with the rear suspension loaded (tires on the ground or jack stands under the rear axle) and the they line up, you're good. I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but I aligned my sway bar with the lower control arms instead of the ground...

I spoke with a rep at crutchfield and he assured me that the signal to the 6x9 is full range. I went ahead and hooked up the crossover to that line and finished the install. Since I wanted to keep the mid speaker, I had to cut and splice the mid/tweeter harness. The signal runs through the...

I'm replacing the front speakers on my 2007 GX470 Non-ML. I bought Kicker 6x9" components with tweeters and crossovers. I noticed while removing the old speakers that the factory 6x9" had separate wiring from the mids and tweeters. They don't seem to merge, at least on the door side wiring. Will...

It is more than just dust & dirt. There is a bit of an oily consistency in it, though not much. It hasn't bothered me much in 5 years, but I figure I'd ask anyway.

I know this isn't 2019, but back then I paid $16.5k for a 2007 with 89k miles. Today I would definitely be looking at a GX460 because the market for 470s is ridiculous. The GX460 will be newer and have even more aftermarket upgrades available if that's what you are looking for.

They closed up because they were taking people's money and making up stories about delays etc. I never got my headlights and lost over $1000 and not able to get any type of refund because it was too far out of the order date for paypal. It was initially a 6 month lead time which turned into a...

This has been an ongoing thing that I've noticed since buying my 2007 GX470 five years ago. This soot builds up at the front of the intake manifold on both sides. I have already replaced the PCV valve and hose on the driver side with brand new OEM parts. I'll clean up the soot and then a month...

Late post, but back in June I upgraded to GX460 front calipers & refreshed the rears. I utilized Napa Adaptive One reman calipers, Brembo blank rotors (GX460 spec front, GX470 spec rear), Akebono ASP brake pads all around & did a brake fluid flush.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm just overly cautious since it's the first time it's been hit. Thanks for the explanation!

Unfortunate incident happened today. My wife had the GX out shopping and was hit by a distracted driver in a parking lot. Thankfully she is ok and feels fine so far. The truck hit directly on the rear swingout hinge of my Coastal off-road bumper. Upon inspection the hinge just has a few shiny...

The rear wiper was not making good contact with the glass even after changing wiper blades so I replaced the arm. Works great now. PN: 85241-60110

I don't remember where I bought it from, but it's referred to as an RJ45 UHF socket or passthrough. Just make sure you get the smaller Toyota style switch size.

5+ years on an ARB 47 qt that I bought used. When it's not in the vehicle on a trip it's in the garage powered up as a spare freezer 24/7. In the vehicle I used to power it straight off the agm engine starting battery, but now I run an Ecoflow River Pro and solar. I had initial regrets splurging...
