    Always hot, under dash fuse?

    haven’t been able to find an answer on Google, and the weather is nasty today. So I can’t go check. Are any of the fuses under the dash always hot? I have some LED strips mounted to flat stock to make a little camp light to mount on the back door. Wired them to an on / off / on switch for...

    Awful suspension squeak

    Trying to chase down a terrible suspension squeak that has my GX470 sounding like a jalopy. Had a Lexus shop swear up and down that it’s the sway bar bushings. It’s not. I pulled off the KDSS front sway bar and the bushings. If someone stands on the passenger side rock slider and bounces a...

    Yet another wire gauge question

    Hey Y’all, I’ve found a lot of great information from this forum for wiring the battery to the winch control box. Where I’m a little confused is the wiring between the winch and the control box (3 cables for me, apex badlands 12K synthetic winch). My control box will be in the passenger side...

    What is this ground cable, and can I extend it?

    I’d like to use the dead space behind the air filter box to put my winch control box. This ground cable is in the way. It like to extend the cable so that it can be ground in the same space, but tucked out of the way. Can I use any wire of the same gauge to extend it a bit?

    Winch + bumper on stock springs - how bad is it?

    How bad is ~170 pounds of extra weight on the front end with icon coilovers using stock weight springs? I have Saturday and Sunday to install my Lil B’s bumper and winch. Shops won’t be open on the weekend to swap springs on my coilovers, and I’m not comfortable using the cheapo spring...

    Help with TIS

    I paid for 1 month of access to TIS, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get any half way decent information from it. For example, I got new weatherstripping for the back door. A search for “weather stripping” yields no hits. The repair manual sections for back door components...

    Rear door not contacting weather stripping

    Figure I’d move this from the what did you do today thread to it’s own as I troubleshoot this issue. Noticed very wet carpet in the rear after heavy rain and decided to troubleshoot. Pulled everything out of the rear area: carpet, trim panels, etc. Water seems to be coming in from a few...

    Tow package parts check list

    Hey Y’all, I’ve added a Curt hitch and 2” shackle hitch receiver to my 2004 GX470 for recovery purposes. However, I’d like to have the option to tow if I need to. My 2004 is February production. I know there’s a cutoff in 2004 where some of tow parts changed over. I read this post over on...

    Adjustable rear control arms and pinion/driveshaft angle

    Hey Y’all, Tried installing a set of Dobinson’s adjustable rear lower and upper control arms today, and realized I’m a little out of my depth. Got a few questions about the adjustable arms before I proceed. My understanding of the purpose of adjustable rear arms is to help correct the pinion...

    Turn signal rapid blink intermittently

    Got a weird one. The other day my driver side blinker started going very fast. Figured a bulb burned out, but then the blinker went back to normal before I got home. Today…same thing. I’m going to grab bulbs for front and rear because it’s cheap and easy. Any thoughts on what else could...

    Too many ring terminals on battery - already have a switch - suggestions?

    Hey Y’all, I’ve got 4 ring terminals on my positive terminal on my battery. Aside from looking terrible, I know this is not the best way to wire stuff, but I’m not sure what the better alternatives are. I have the following 4 devices connected directly to the battery: - auxbeam switch panel: 1...

    Hey Y’all, I’m getting ready to install some chase lights on the back door, and I want to run wiring along the underside of the car to my switch panel in the engine bay. I have an idea for how to run wiring from the chase lights into the back door then into the trunk area via the existing...

    Rear door hinge torque specs - GX470

    Hey Y’all, I purchased the JW Off-road door shims after having the Becky tire carrier installed. Installing the shims seems easy, but I can’t find torque specs for the bolts that attach the hinge to the cargo door. Given the added stress on the sheet metal from the tire carrier, I don’t want...

    Door mount tire carrier (Becky and JW off-road

    Question for those of you have a door mounted tire carrier like the Becky from acc garage, jw off-road, or bison gear. Does it make a ton of noise? Just got the Becky installed this week - I love this carrier and the look - but there’s this concerning (and somewhat annoying) metal fatigue /...

    Been searching Google all day, and can’t find a single result that’s relevant to my question. I know someone out there has installed HID lighting ballasts without wiring them to the battery terminal for power. The only options I can find for connecting HID ballasts for power are: Connect...

    Taco tab question

    Hey Y’all, Taco Tabs got here yesterday. Since I’m replacing my front LCA this weekend, I figure I’ll install these, too. The instructions are straightforward, but where I’m unclear is the alignment. Taking the truck Tuesday for an alignment - do I bring the extra tabs with me to the...

    Hey Y’all, My Midland MXT275 arrived today, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to wire it. The plug it comes with is for the cigarette lighter and has an in-line fuse. I don’t want to use the GX’s cigarette lighter. It’s already used for my phone’s mount (powered mount that auto-locks...

    Check fluid levels every Saturday before running errands. 3 weeks ago noticed the level in the overflow tank was barely above the low marker. Been checking it daily since then. Always check cold, after the car has been off overnight. The level is fluctuating between the low and the full mark...
