    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    Better than mine. I get about 30k out of mine (650lb springs) but super easy to replace so not a big thing. Wheelers also sells the replacement bushing.

    Bilstein 6112 Dilemma on GX470...not as low cost as I thought

    I've got 6112 in front w/650 spings (had 700 but was a bit stiff with no front weight) in front and Dobinson IMS rear. I've very pleased with both. The 6112s have about 45k and have gone through one set of eye bushings. easy enough to replace, but they don't last more than about 20k-30k...

    120 series Photos!

    I have the Cross Industries Offroad 3rd Row tire carrier. I spent about two years with my spare strapped to the top of my drawers (different than in the pic) and hated the loss of functional space. I'm a much bigger fan of this solution for now. I'll try to get another picture a bit later.

    GX470 Interior Spare Tire Mount

    I'd buy one today if there were a reasonably priced option.

    New rear swing out, pretty cool design

    Looks promising. Interested to see the price point at which it launches. Hopefully not too close to the cost of a full blown bumper as that would make it difficult to justify.

    j0nny_gx's GX470 Build

    Did you actually cut the pinch welds off? Of so, how did you close up the gap?

    Builds Homer's 2003 GX470 Build

    I just went from the 700lb coils to 650lb coils (Wheelers Offroad) on my 6112 (47-284142) and so far I much prefer the 650's. I have no additional front weight and prefer a much smaller lift (1.5"-2"; low COG) than most. I was on the 700s for about 30k mi and the 6112 rubber bushings were SHOT...

    If you call Bilstein and ask them about the spring rate, they will tell you 700lbs.

    Replacing 2004 Timing Belt

    I couldn't agree with this more. This was probably the biggest lesson learned for me.

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    Is your intent to install these on the 470? Didn't think 5th gen sliders worked for our application. Pretty sure 4th gen did as long as no KDSS.

    Dobinsons IMS Vs. Bilstein 6112

    I'm in the same boat here although I have them on the bottom perch (2nd driver side). Always thought I was special being on the bottom perch and not wanting any additional height. Ride comfort has been no issue. I will say though that I notice the bottom bushing is starting to look pretty worn...

    An expensive day...

    Cam seals are not uncommon. Mine are very slowly leaking, but not enough that there is any noticeable oil loss between changes (5k). I will get this done next time I get the TB job complete (60k from now). The paint issues I'm dealing with as well. Although it is starting on my roof and my...

    Lexus GX470 CV Axles

    I did both at the same time, but honestly wouldn't matter if I did them together vs separately. It is easy enough to pull the CV... most time consuming part for me is getting the GX lifted and wheel off. I would say do them at your convenience even if it is not at the same time.

    Avoid Blizzard Pearl at all costs?

    My 05 is slowly showing signs of peeling/flaking. I'm trying to handle it as I come across it with touch up paint, but it tends to pop up in new places at times. In a few years, I'm sure I'll be looking at a respray to keep things looking presentable (which is really all I care about).

    Hanging stuff on the door.

    I was under the impression that the hinge was not the issue, but rather the seam on the door itself that separates with excessive weight. There are a lot of people who have mounted spare tires (>50lbs) and see a lot of sag, but I'm not aware of any seem failures with the latest tire carriers (JW...

    Replace factory alternator as a preventive step?

    I did mine when I did the timing belt (2nd time) at 140k as PM. Made sense since I was in there already.

    Nardo Grey Raptor liner complete! 2004 pearl white Lexus gx470.

    So, for the Pearl GX's with peeling paint (mine included), even if you recoat, raptor line, wrap, etc... without stripping down to primer where the paint peel/separation seems to occcur, what level of confidence do you have that it will not continue to peel under the raptor liner?

    New owner - what is your best mod?

    My Pioneer head unit & amplified stereo upgrade. By all means gets the most everyday use of all modifications I've made to the vehicle to date.
