    Power Stop Brakes Warranty Claims - Buyer Beware

    In late 2021 I purchased a Power Stop stainless steel brake line kit for my 2007 GX470 through Rock Auto and installed it. On 9/11/2023, I experienced a failure of the rear driver's brake hose where I lost a significant amount of brake fluid. Luckily I did not have a complete brake system...

    Harbor Freight 4x8 Trailer Rebuild

    I bought this little trailer all of the way back in 2015 to pull behind the Subaru Forester I had at that time. It was $250 from Harbor Freight and I spent around $250 more to put 3/4" plywood beds and sides on it. Since then we've made hundreds of trips to the city yard waste disposal area...

    For Sale  GX470 HVAC Servos

    Used servos I pulled from my GX470 during a dash replacement are listed on eBay, as a lot of four. One of them was clicking when I pulled them, probably the blend door servo. The others seemed to work fine, but these are sold as-is. Listed on eBay at the link below...

    Interior plastic grey trim paint match?

    Does anyone know of a good spray-can match for the interior grey plastic trim pieces in a GX470? Things like the center console, etc. I have some 3D printed switch panels on order for the shifter surround, seat heater panel, and panel left of the steering wheel, and want them to blend in with...

    Seat Covers - Ridies vs. LSeat

    I know this has been covered before, particularly in the 100 series forum, but wanted to also ask the GX crowd, and start a pool. My GX470 needs new seat covers. I had a half-baked repair/refresh done on the factory covers and it has not really worked out, so I'm looking at just outright...

    Drivers side electronic mystery module relocation

    I'm working on installing a custom relay box and bus bar under the hood of my GX to manage accessories (via OEM style switches). I know this is more work than a Switch Pros or Auxbeam equivalent, but I like the OEM-style look, reliability, and DIY-fixability of basic relays and switches...

    Low-cost alternative to Lexus GX or 100-series?

    I love the Autopian and a lot of David's pieces (including when he was at Jalopnik).....but really? https://www.theautopian.com/the-first-gen-chevy-trailblazer-is-a-great-low-cost-toyota-land-cruiser-alternative/ There are still quite a few of the proposed alternatives running around in my area...

    100 Series Sunroof Dimensions / Seal Photos Request

    Those of us on the GX470 forum have identified that the 100-series and 470 share a common part ID (63201G), but slightly different part numbers (6320160081 vs 6320160063) for the sunroof. The 100-series sunroof has a seal available separately for $80; for the 470 it's only available with the...

    Intermittent Key Fob Problems

    Has anyone else ran into (and solved) intermittent key fob issues with their GX? Both of mine work maybe 70% of the time. Usually they'll work great, but often the lock button won't lock the doors (the light on the key fob blinks red, but nothing happens). Sometimes the unlock button will work...

    Broken GX470 on Trail Mater

    Wondering if this is a forum member, based on the license plate? Also a very interesting failure - I did a bit of reading and found that this thing can happen sometimes when a diff drop is installed (at least in the Tacoma world). Would be interested to know a bit more, as I'd hate to to have...

    SHW Ultralight Drawers?

    Has anyone tried these? https://shwoffroad.com/product/gx470-ultralite-drawer-system/ They look to be a lighter (and cheaper) alternative than Dobinsons or other metal drawers. I was going to DIY a set of drawers out of birch plywood but this option would be marginally more expensive when the...

    2UZ Timing Belt at 20 years and 135k

    I helped a buddy change the original timing belt in his 2002 Tundra a couple of weeks ago, and found the old belt laying in my shop still today. Based on the inspection of this belt, despite it only being 30% over the mileage limit, it was NOT in good shape. There were a couple of places where...

    OEM Dash Replacement - Who's done it?

    Has anyone gone through the process of replacing a cracked dash with a new OEM dash? Mine is getting worse every day and it's driving me crazy. I've looked into the Coverlay, and they get mixed reviews and aren't that much cheaper than a new OEM dash ($300-400 vs. $600-800). I have some fear...

    High-Angle CV Boot Recommendations

    My inner CV joints boots are starting to split after 4-5 months and less than 5K of driving. I'm running NAPA/Cardone reman CV's with the HD thermoplastic boot. I have a 2.5" front lift without a diff drop (not interested in one due to losing ground clearance) and the inner boots are splitting...

    Help ID this bracket - lower engine/steering rack area

    I removed this bracket from my GX470 yesterday, when putting in a new steering rack. I must have come from somewhere in the steering rack/lower engine area. I could not figure out where it went when I put the GX back together, and am not sure if it intended to restrain an AC or PS line. Anyone...

    Prebent Rear Hard Brake Lines

    Does anyone sell these? I am having a hard time finding a set. These are the hard lines that cover the width of the rear axle. I went to install braided hoses yesterday and the connector one of the hard lines was rusted and will require cutting to get it out (not even vice grips could get it). I...

    GX470 - best shocks for 2" lift and maintaining rear airbags?

    Like many folks I've come to like the airbags on my '07 GX470. Mine is often used for hauling people and camping gear, so the auto-leveling feature is nice, as well as the option to jack it up 2" and improve the departure angle. We might also get a camper in the next few years, so bags would be...

    Builds  "Rednexus" - 2007 GX470 Build Thread

    I've been posting on here for a few months now, and decided to start a build thread. Some of these will be re-posts, others will be new material. We've been a Subaru family for a long time now, which was fine when we had one kid. Once we had a second kid, and he got big enough that we could go...
