That's what I thought, I had originally searched for a local shop that would recommend, order and install the parts but was unable to find one that had experience with a GX470. When I asked if they have any experience with GX470s they recommended I call cruiser outfitters for advise and as...
This order summary is from Shock Surplus and was reassured I would not need anything else for this install:

Hi captainva,
Just wanted to share what I cam across during my research which funny enough the same guy provided a year ago vs the previous video 3 years ago.
Hope this helps. Also, just because I'm OCD I am taking my ride to Shenandoah corrosion for under carriage tomorrow morning. Otherwise...
Happy Friday,
New to the scene and was turned on to this club by captainva from another thread on this forum. Looking to listen, learn and get to know local enthusiasts.
Cheers!
Just got back from camping along the Shenandoah mountains and wrapped it up in OBX - Hatteras Island.
For situational awareness, I had just picked up my 2008 GX470 dubbed "Valkyrie" by my 14 yr old co-pilot/navigator and had it serviced by local (Pohanka) Lexus dealer and checked out before our...
Gents,
I'll take the advise, no need to hit me head against the wall :)
You rock this site is incredibly helpful. Cruiser Outfitters were totally cool and they even said I should consider the other two options Captainva mentioned.
I was not able to fit in the tire swap as these tires are not...
Man I wish I could pull that off, just got the ride back from the Pohanka dealer were they fleeced me on the timing belt, water pump, etc.. service, I am heading out to a few camp grounds in the Shenandoah mountains by some lakes which should take us to North Carolina were we are cutting across...
So Bilsteins, what model? What springs or does it depend on the lift kit? How many inches and tire size would you recommend? Thanks in advance. I do not see myself exceeding the type of climbing that you did no that vid :p
thanks in advance
Cheers
Gotcha, so if I want to stay under 2.5 as to not adversely effect the ride quality, what would you recommend as from your rad video shows this thing is an absolute Billy Goat?
Oh and by the way we share the same Nordic Blue. I have my eyes on Method MR305 NV 17x8.5 0, KO2. I also agree that I...
Good looking out, I called and they were great. They work with Cruiser outfitter from UT. I told them I was looking at getting 35's and was thinking about going w/ Icon's or Kings 2.5 coil overs. They said after time they would wear out more quickly than an Old Man EMU. I think the icons can be...
I am a new member to mud. I picked up a GX470 and am looking for a reputable service shop in the northern Virginia Haymarket, Chantilly, Sterling area to give her a full check for hidden issues.
I am also wanting to get 35" tires, if anyone here knows of a shop please pass along their info and...
