    Introducing the Mountain Passes Transmission Cooler. This replaces the OEM cooler but is 3 times larger at 11"x9.5". This is a plate and fin cooler from Hayden Fluid Coolers. The cooler is under $50 on Amazon. It is a quality Plate and Fin cooler, similar to OEM. NOT a poorer quality...

    Ego Crusher Build Thread

    I thought I would do a write up on my 2004 Lexus GX. I feel it clearly takes a different path then many people take with their off road builds. For me, I knew from the start that I wanted a more subtle look and also save weight as much as possible. I knew that added weight would make off...

    Mountain Passes Off-road Mini-Max Bumper

    Introducing the Mountain Passes Off-road "Mini-Max" bumper. This bolt on bumper is lightweight and very unobtrusive while providing the things most important for those that off-road. First, it has an amazing departure angle. The tubes are actually set slightly above the frame of the GX...

    GX470 etc. Parking Brake Adjustment.

    I am simply posting this as a reference for those that will need it in the future. This is not a difficult job IF you know which way to turn the adjuster with out taking the rear drum off. Most people should know that there is a Star Wheel adjust at the bottom of each parking brake in the...

    Colorado Meet and Trail Ride 1-14-20017+1-15-2017

    We are taking a group out to China Wall on Sunday the 15th. Also a family friendly dinner or drink on Saturday night. China Wall is not a easy trail and the weather will be cold. But there are bypasses for most the tough stuff. I was told a nearly stock GX did it with some scuffing on the...

    How to make block ice. Need a container that won't split.

    I thought I had found the perfect container at walmart to fill and make blocks of ice for camping. It was slightly tapered so the ice would fall out. It was just a simple (but thin) holder. Alas, it burst and now I have frozen water in my freezer. I need to make 1 quart'ish. blocks of...

    Removing Rear Bumper Cover

    I got a busy week. Leaving Friday to do two trails I have been itching to do for a while. I always worry about catching my rear bumper cover on a climb. I am doing Poughkeepsie Gulch and Black Bear. I have caught the trailer hitch before. That is fine. Anyway, how hard is it to remove...

    Proper "C" load tire pressure question

    I am running 265/70/17 KO2 C rated tires. Discount tire recommended 50 psi. I was worried about ride quality so they said 42psi was ok. Today I noticed they were set at nearly 50psi and the ride even offroad was fine. They say I can go under 20psi offroad which seems crazy to me. I used...

    Recovery Straps and Accessories

    For years I have carried a 9000lb rated self retracting tow strap. NEVER EVER needed it. It been banging around in the back of my truck and now GX for years. Kinda a good luck charm. Now with the new GX I am thinking I really should get a real recovery strap. The GX it has two loops on...

    Confirm this is normal for DAC

    Loud, Constant ABS pulsing, Very Annoying. I tried it on a very mild dirt road downhill. Perhaps it was just that the hill was only mildly steep. I would much rather just use 1st gear in 4WD Lo then this feature. Is this normal. I don't see the attraction.

    Sealing holes for the Slider?

    What would you recommend. You are going to use some cutting oil to drill with. So paint won't want to stick at the beginning. It's going to be COLD tomorrow during the install time. I am thinking of just leaving them for a week or two then cleaning them after it warms up and THEN dip paint...

    80-90w API GL-5 vs the Recommended 85-90 GL-5

    I have a whole bunch of 80-90 GL-5 from when I owned my 06 Tundra. I remember back then having a hard time even finding 85-90w stuff. Is the 80-90 OK for my GX's front and rear Diff?

    Lighting the Sliders

    The GX has two lights for the running boards (front and back). I know this is not "cool" but I would like to put a string of LED lights under each door. Light the step/slider for my family. I have no idea where to get the stuff I might want/need. I figure I can just extend the wiring for...

    Help me Decide for my mild Lift Gx470

    I can not decide. Why is this so tough? o4 GX470. 2 inch lift. Mostly my Second car for Daily Driver. But also the Family/Baby Mobile. I live in Colorado. Want to go back to do the 4wd trails I used to do. I have used Yokohama Geolander AT-S in the past on my Tundra. Good tire. Not...

    Spare tire slightly Smaller and the GX Diff type.

    So I know the center diff is a Torsen. I have no idea if my GX470 has a LSD on the rear. Lets say I have 4 265/70-17 on the truck and I need to go to the spare that is a 265/65-17. With a open differential on that axle I would assume I am ok. But with a LSD I know this would be bad. Whats...

    Builds  Colorado 4wd Trail Build

    First a little background. I used to own a 2006 Tundra. Great Truck. Totally stock. It was really too big for local trails. Used to take it all over Colorado’s 4wd Trails just for fun with the Ex. To keep the story short, wife left and I decided to get rid of the truck just to keep...
