    Sourcing and Replacing Upper and Lower Side Trim in Cargo Area

    that's what i was thinking as well but i wasn't able to find any that listed a GX470 anywhere near me. I ended up buying the two upper panels online after getting the part numbers from my local dealer. Not the cheapest route to be sure but certainly faster and easier.

    Sourcing and Replacing Upper and Lower Side Trim in Cargo Area

    My dog decided to express his displeasure with me by chewing up some of the plastic and fabric covered trim in the back on my 2008 GX470. He had almost ripped down the top panel on the drivers side but i was able to reattch a couple clips so i could drive without it flopping around too much...

    My GX470 has steel sliders and front and rear bumpers from Coastal Offroad that seem to be only be painted and not very robustly protected from salt or otherwise rusting. Last spring I lighted sanded and hit a few of the worst spots with some rust prevention spray paint but of course the rust...

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    disregard i spoke with the BlueDod Designwerks folks. Seems you need to remove the air suspension switch which is fine since mine is disabled.

    For Sale Free GX470 Parts - NOVA Area: Factory roof rack, 3rd row seats, non-nav stereo and Weathertech rear cargo area liner

    My 3rd row seats were removed before i got the vehicle so i'll have to check if those brackets are on the seats still. I know the 3rd row seat belts are still there because i pulled back the trim to stuff them back thru the holes so they didn't bounce around and otherwise get in the way. I'll...

    Spare Tire Swing Out Piston Question

    I've got the figure out something for sure before installing the new piston and quickly breaking it. Was thinking of trying to rig up some sort of steel cable maybe so I can remove it when I do want to open the door further

    Spare Tire Swing Out Piston Question

    Thanks for the advice. Can you give me an example of what one looks like? My swing out will open Past 90% to like 120 or something so I can see where the weight on it would snap the piston without something else to control it.

    Spare Tire Swing Out Piston Question

    Seems the piston on my spare tire swing out wasn't quite up to the task of controlling the weight since it snapped off after the door swung out and that was on level ground. Anyone have any experience with a more heavy duty piston i could add to control the weight, speed and travel of tire swing...

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    Got the tent mounted on the new Sherpa rack over the weekend. Glad I didn't end up cutting the rack at all to make it work with the mounted snorkel. The iKamper 2.0 definitely sticks out a lot more than it did on our old LC200 but it'll do. Now i need to dial in the Dobinsons MRA setup to...

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    Made a trip up to the AAOA trails up in Eastern PA last weekend and had a great time on the 6 hour tour with Offroad Consulting guys. No doubt the fresh 6 inches of snow made the green trails a bit more challenging then they might usually be. Was a blast though and definitely heading back up...

    Rack Fitting with Snorkel Help

    After another look and more detailed measuring I decided I'd rather cut the snorkel than the rack side panel and the windscreen. Not my best work but some black Gorilla tape will protect it well enough and it'll be pretty covered once I drop tent down on the rack. Eventually want to lose the...
