    Towing with an '03

    The 03 should I believe already have an aux trans cooler. You are going to struggle on hills. My trailer dry is 3400 and with everything I have loaded it and rig to 5k.

    Front receiver

    Wrong. I’ve been running winches for close to 49 years.

    Front receiver

    Absolutely not. You might be able to get a fab shop to cut off the receiver and weld it up top.

    Another suspension question... Coils, Helper springs, Stock shocks?

    Yes there is a lot of posts on this. You will also need the upper dirty cones. I have two GXs. An 06 and an 11. The 06 has a lift and the 11 is stock height with Coil conversion. I tow a camp trailer and do not need air bag helpers.

    Front receiver

    And just so you know. I also have a 2011 GX460 and the front looks identical to my 470 so I will be ordering the same front receiver for it. And I can just swap the winch around.

    Front receiver

    Just provided some information in case someone is interested. I have been running a front receiver for quite a few years and have a receiver winch I have used many times. Usually it’s not for me but someone else in trouble or a downed tree. I have had many rigs with many winches so I understand...

    Black line Edition Crossbars

    Correct me if I am wrong. The black line has raised rails? Going in reverse here but there is lots of discussions of putting raised rails on the GX that doesn’t come with raised rails. The conversations are that the GX470 rails fit and also some rails off eBay fit. So why can’t you go to the...

    New Toyo Open County AT3 experience?

    I have always been a BFG fan. Ran many on Jeeps. But have read a lot about cracking. And they tend to run small in size. I have Toyo AT2 on my 460. I purchased it with them and they are at 8/32. They do pretty good in the PNW snow. I just put a set of Wildpeaks on my 470 and am extremely happy...

    Front Bumper WITH Receiver Mount for Winch or?

    I have seen a lot of people do stupid stuff. That doesn’t mean a product is bad. Means the person is stupid. It’s like someone coming in to ask why their brakes wore out after 200 miles. They didn’t tell you they ride the brake pedal with there left foot for an entire road trip. Be careful what...

    GX460 ECM Remapping for Regular Gas?

    I have been running 87 in my 470 since the day I bought it. And I pull a camp trailer. I use 87 in my 460 also. I tested a tank of high octane and did not find any difference in power or fuel economy while towing. This has been debated a lot all over every forum. If you feel better paying more...

    GX470 Wheel/Tire/Lift Picture Combination Thread

    The Gunmetal Grey TRD wheels I have do have a glossier finish. I like it personally. I didn’t want black because they look dirty all the time. No offense to those that like the black. Just preference. I come from the old school world of muscle cars and chrome rims.

    2010 Alternator replacement

    I am with you. I grew up with no money and in a farm environment. You did it yourself or it didn’t get done. Then I raced cars out of high school. I got into the construction building trades and built and wheeled Jeeps for 30 plus years. Now in my 50s I find it a pain in the butt to do the...

    Inquiry regarding towing

    Weight distribution hitch with an anti sway bar is your friend. My outfit can do 70 no problem and doesn’t move around on the highway. I try to keep my speed around 60 or 65 max for safety. Use a brake controller and if you sway ,manually apply the trailer breaks and slightly step on the gas...

    Inquiry regarding towing

    I tow a lot with my 470, I haven’t used the 460 yet. I have towed a mini excavator that was at maxing my rig and trailer out. It did it with no problem but I did not exceed 50 and did not take the freeway. I tow a 22 foot camp trailer with a flipped axle and over sized AT tires. I live in the...

    Front Bumper WITH Receiver Mount for Winch or?

    Even when I trail ran with my jeeps, my winch was used maybe 4 or 5 times in the summer months. Now in the winter with snow it was used regularly. Having it to remove a downed tree or coming across someone else that is in need is primarily what i use it for now. But I dont want to be without it...

    Snow chains for a GX470?

    I live in Eastern Washington and have all my life. I grew up using chains on a regular basis but my parents didnt own a 4x4 vehicle. I do have chains that will fit my rig but havent had to use them in years. I think the last time was a hunting trip and on forest service roads. Lowering your tire...

    Front Bumper WITH Receiver Mount for Winch or?

    Yes you can side pull with a receiver mounted winch. I have a receiver on the front of my 470 and the 10k pound winch with synthetic cable is 65 pounds. I can also use it on the rear. I have been an off road Jeeper for many many , almost 40 years and have used and had all types of setups. I...
