    Secondary air injection system finally took a dump on the GX so spent the evening installing the Hewitt Technologies bypass kit. Very impressed with the quality and instructions. And saved a lot of money!

    Maintenance update. While pulling the codes when the fuel pump went, we noticed a code for the SAIS. After installing the pump everything clear out until now. I proactively bought the Hewitt Technologies Gen II bypass kit but procrastinated until now. Great product, easy to follow...

    Trip didn’t completely go off without a hitch. Almost 5800 miles and fuel pump decided to go right before the tunnels on the turnpike. Could have been in the middle of the desert somewhere so I’m pretty happy about that. Also, my rear tank strap was on its last leg and broke while trying to...

    Still recovering from the trip and getting caught up at work so I’m late reporting on the trip. Had a great time in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Total trip was about 5800 miles and I haven’t tallied the fuel costs yet and probably don’t want to! Trip didn’t go off exactly as...

    To keep it legit, we are working on making our way through Utah with a pit stop in Co. Spent the night near Buena Vista but was in the low 20s the next morning so we pushed on to UT. Found a spot south of Moab near Spanish Valley. Spent the day exploring and checking out Arches Traveled...

    Been awhile but just finished a bunch of the milestone maintenance on the GX and trailer. Heading west tomorrow morning for 2 1/2 weeks to spend some time exploring southern Utah, AZ and NM. If I can get through the Midwest without being blown away, it should be a good trip. Timing belt, water...

    Made a little progress despite the rain today. Got the storage box and recovery boards mounted mounted to the roof rack. I’m using this mainly for tools, recovery gear, compressor, etc. too dark for pics but will post up tomorrow. Didn’t want the platform to be a permanent install so tried...

    As preparations continue for Utah, decided to pull the rear seats and start on a platform for the back. The plan is to create a few cubbies behind the front seats, carpet the back and attach anchor points. Starting with sheet of 3/4” BC. Cut it to 6’ but may need to take a few more inches...

    My rig had a complete service history when I bought it. 1 owner, always dealer maintained BUT no record of TB being done. Water pump at 115k. Plugs at the same time but no sticker for the TB. Thought maybe they had it done at a private shop since everything else was by the book every 5k. But...

    Your belt looks like it was in much better condition. I always had my suspicions that mine wasn’t done the first time. Looking at yours, I think it confirms it.

    All of this to finally make our trek out west in T-Minus 4 weeks. Have been trying to make this trip happen for several years and it’s finally a reality. Super excited to spend 2 weeks exploring in the teardrop and happy to have the GX current with maintenance. Everything is greased and...

    The belt was starting to Frey so I’m glad we got this sorted out.

    Been a long time without a post. Sold our house, moved, bought another house, etc. etc. So the GX hasn’t received much love. Now that we are settled again I’ve been playing catch-up. Wanted to log this as I’m reaching 200K and just completed milestone maintenance over the weekend. We were...
