So I need a new Left Rear Passenger door lock cable. Not the latch cable, the lock cable. I love Toyota products but after years being a motorcycle mechanic I am flat out spoiled by the ease of finding and identifying parts for motorcycles (Harley not included, they're far worse than anyone) on...
Bought this off Amazon for my GX470. It's stainless steel, then I powder coated it to match the truck - Pearl White with a Semi-Gloss Black lower panel. Went to install it and it DOESN'T FIT!!! Couldn't return it since it was coated. Problem with it is that it's right up against the bumper when...
So I bought a silicone hose kit from HPS, figured now's the time since my truck's apart for the rebuild anyway. I know where 5 out of the 6 hoses go but cannot figure out where this last one goes. Here's the kit:
I've done the heater hoses and the small one that goes to the oil filter...
Just ordered my MetalTech Goblin Stage 1 front bumper. I want to fill the spots for the fog lights and light bar but the OPOR lights offered by MetalTech are really rather expensive:

So back on November 12th I hit a deer on my way home, about 5 miles from the house. Pretty good amount of debris, headlights were broken but both still worked fine, did notice a trickle of coolant so we left the scene immediately as it was 15-deg outside (and it was night) and I didn't want to...
My 2007's ML speakers are blowing one by one, probably just due to age, I haven't been beating on them by any means, I mostly listen to frustrating talk radio...
In any case, when I looked at the cost of replacing the speakers with OEM, it was absolutely ridiculous, so I began researching my...
2007 GX
Rear height sensor broke so auto-leveling wasn't working. Bought two brand new sensors and set them up to length of old ones and adjusted slotted nut height until I got 20.75" center of wheel to fender flare on both sides, cycling the manual switch to "hi" and "low" several times to...
So, I've already replaced the bulb in my driver's side heated seat button. After fumbling around in the dark in search of my center diff lock button (mine's an '07 so by my left knee), I noticed the only button illuminated in that cluster is the heated mirror button. I also noticed my DAC button...
So, I watched this video the other day:
Got to thinking...if Toyota knows the height the check tube needs to be at operating temp (versus the 104-113deg window we all deal with now), can an aftermarket tube or pan be made such that fluid levels can be checked at operating temp? For instance...
Replacing seized front calipers on a friend's 2007 Tundra SR5 5.7L 4x4, and the short length of hard line they used that actually screws into the caliper is so rusty one even broke in two trying to remove it. I want to replace the rubber hose while I'm in there, does anyone have the part number...
Buyer Beware:
2006 Lexus GX470 only 24k miles
In case anyone here was eying this, there are a few things you may want to know:
I test drove this truck during my search. The guy is a flipper who bought it from an NYPD auction. The miles check out (only 21k back in November when I drove it) as...
Hope this is the correct forum for this, it was either here or "General" or "Workshop", but I feel penetrating oil is essentially a tool for getting troublesome bolts out so...here I am...
Years ago I came across a website (which I can no longer find) where a fella did some unbiased experiments...
Just a heads up, I changed my original ATF the other day after reading everything I could here first, and was expecting a potential fight with the pan bolts based on other members' experience with their rigs. What I found was actually the opposite, as all of the 10mm pan bolts were loose enough...
Bought an '07 a few weeks ago from a dealership in Colorado (I'm from Ohio). The truck is from Houston, the dealer travels to Houston once a month to buy clean GX470's to resell in Parkersburg where folks can actually benefit from the 4x4.
So far:
- Ditched the 3rd row
- Installed rear spoiler...
