Just following up to say THANK YOU!! Awesome job diagnosing the problem guys. I purchased complete front hubs from Blue Pit Bearings, installed them and the GX470 is once again quiet as a church mouse.
I’ve had my 09 GX470 for about a year or 9K miles, and it has been the most quiet vehicle I have ever owned. It has 142K miles. Until now....In the last three weeks it has developed a rather strange droning sound emanating from the front of the car. It gets louder as speed increases but does not...
Well the new replacement light arrived and looks decent. Lit up bright when tested on the bench. However, the screws holding the OEM lamp to the spoiler appeared welded in place as they were so tight. I’ve tried lots of persuasion to get them out. Steady pressure with a #2 screw driver, has...
At some point in the future I will likely remove the running boards and improve its off-road capabilities. For now my wife has stolen it from me as she loves it. Luckily I still have the Wrangler and Samurai for more aggressive off driving. I agree on the more red/blue/green colors schemes as...
I did find this light on the "SpoilerLights.com" link provided by binaryaudax which I am going to order tonight. Definitely worth a shot. Cool they provide all the measurements and so many pictures. Hoping it works perfectly! Lexus GX470 Spoilerlight | Type: SL-03609-E -...

Lots of hits on eBay for sellers from the UAE, United Arab Emirates when I searched the part number provided. Makes sense as there are probably tons of these rigs over there. I agree going OEM and keeping the stock plug seems ideal. I could handle a $100 for a Light about the...
Oddly my 2009 came equipped with a shattered, clear 3rd brake lamp assembly. It appears it is an LED unit and very expensive at that. $229 from Lexus. I have a factory rear spoiler and it is situated on the spoiler rather than on the body.
I laughed when I saw complete new spoilers on eBay...
Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker, finally got an account . Read 12 pages of the “What have you done thread”....today alone. LOL

Looking for tech support, mod ideas and parts. Definitely a great community...
