    Front Springs For Stock Ride Height

    Looking for advice on which light/regular duty springs to put up front to maintain both stock ride height and AS MUCH of the stock ride quality that I can. They’ll be wrapped around Bilstein 4600s. OEM is not in the budget. I’ve googled a ton and can’t find anything that doesn’t lift, or...

    Looking For Recommendation for Best On-Road, No-Lift Suspension

    I know, people keep asking this on an off-road forum. But for the relatively limited amount of off-road use (4-5 times a year) that my GX sees, I’ve always been perfect satisfied with the stock suspension. My stock suspension is beat at this point, so, what I’m looking for is something that...

    Los Angeles Area Stereo Installer?

    Hey, All! The Aux stereo input in my Nav-equipped 2008 died. Leaving me one step closer to having the headunit swapped out for something carplay compatible. My understanding is that replacement is a fairly straightforward process when using something like a Beatsonic adapter, etc. All...

    WANT TO TRADE: XenonDepot Backup/Reverse LED’s

    GX470 owner here with a brand new unopened set of XenonDepot Xtreme LED C-Series 921 T16 bulbs. These fit all GX460 back up/reverse lights. They retail for $50. I’d like to trade for some other LEDs of comparable quality (no off-brand stuff, thanks!) that will work on a GX 470. It doesn’t...

    New Calipers - When Should I Flush Brake System?

    (I posted this in the general tech page but have received no answers as of yet, and since the GX commonly suffers from stuck caliper pistons I’m assuming plenty of you have swapped your calipers out at this point) I’m going to be installing new calipers on all four wheels of my GX 470. I found...

    When To Flush Brake System During New Caliper Install?

    I’m going to be installing new calipers on all four wheels of my GX 470. I found good videos on how to flush and bleed, but I haven’t found a definitive answer on WHEN I should flush and bleed the brake system. Do I do it as I go along, after each new caliper is installed? Wheel by wheel? Or...

    Tire Replacement - 1 new paired w/ 3 old

    Stupid question time! I have a 2008 GX470 with Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires with a slow leak in one tire that I’ve tried a couple times to patch unsuccessfully and tire shops won’t touch it. Refilling the tire every day is getting really annoying but I don’t want to replace all four. Is...

    Steering Wheel Misaligned/Crooked Following Trail Run

    Did Broken Arrow in Sedona this past week and immediately upon leaving the rough stuff noticed my steering wheel was off by about 15 degrees to the left. Jumped right into a YouTube DIY about straightening steering wheel following poor alignment job, not realizing that the misalignment might...

    Help With Part Search

    Does anyone know what the below part (circled) is called and where I can find it (aside from the stealership)? I’m looking for the white plastic insert thingy inside of the metal thingy. The old one cracked and fell out and I think metal thing it was in is now the source of some obnoxious...

    Front Rattling - Brakes? Rotor? Other?

    I know noises are hard to accurately diagnose sometimes, but I've been hunting this one for a minute. It's a rattle from near both front wheels. When I go over even the smallest of bumps, it sounds like a metal lid jumping on a pot of boiling water, or like a few links of chain clanking. The...

    Poor/Sluggish Shifting Following Gibson Exhaust, Sliders and Bigger Tires

    I went from stock 2008 GX470 to the following: 1.) Metaltech OPOR bolt on sliders (150lbs?) 2.) Falken Wildpeak AT3 265/70/17 (weight vs stock duelers?) 3.) Gibson Catback exhaust (N/A) The shifting has since gotten weird. It’s poorly timed, sluggish and all around crappy. I drove the truck...

    GX470 Chirp/Squeak - Driving me NUTS!!!

    Let me start by apologizing if I've broken some forum taboo about posting about random noises on a 10 year old vehicle. I bought my 2008 a year and a half ago and have put on about 25,000 miles. Thus far the vehicle has been nice and quiet, with no offensive noises whatsoever. I understand...

    Gibson Exhaust Fitment Issues

    So the very first mod I performed on my GX470 was installing (myself) a Gibson Performance Catback exhaust. I thought I screwed something up during the install as the fitment is an issue. The exhaust contacts the frame where it tucks up over the axle, and the very end of the tail pipe is...

    Los Angeles Outiftter that stocks Metal Tech?

    Anyone know a Los Angeles Outiftter that stocks Metal Tech? I want the OPOR GX470 sliders Metal Tech has, but don't wanna pay $200 in shipping! Also wouldn't mind having someone install them for me since it seems like a special tool is required and even then it seems like a two person job...

    Curious Why So many GX's Without Sliders?

    Most of the GX's I see around on the forums that are lifted don't have any rock sliders. I was curious as to why? The first thing I did (even before lifting) my FJ Cruiser was put sliders on. They're way cheaper than having to repair a bad line choice. Lifting is so much more expensive than...

    Slow Speed Braking Pulse/Grab

    I'm experiencing an odd pulsing/grabbing when I slowly come to a stop. Like driving around a crowded parking lot. I don't feel it if I'm going faster than 15mph, but if I brake like you would when approaching a stop light, firmly at first and then as needed to come to a slow stop, it feels...

    Lithium Batteries Stored In Vehicle?

    Sorry, tried to post this in both the General & Electronics Forums, but I "do not have sufficient privilages". Anyways... I want to keep lithium batteries in my vehicle for two reasons. One would be a portable charger pack, you know for phones, etc., in emergencies. The other scenario...

    Prado 120 Gauge Cluster Swap Into GX?

    Does anyone know what this Gauge Cluster is actually called in the Prado? Or any idea what Prado trim level this came in? I'd love to find out if it can be swapped for the multi-function clock in the GX. It appears to be somewhat modular based on the line that crosses both right above the...
