    Did I fry my ECU?

    I think I just did a very costly error. I purchased the Voltage Booster Pro and just received it via UPS. I'm looking at the instructions over and over. Note: these are the same for either the 5th Gen 4R or GX460, 2010-2019 which mine is a 2013 so I know I had the correct model/year. For the...

    Side window rain deflectors/visors, do they work?

    I just saw these on Amazon and have always wondered just how practical they are, and I'm only asking regarding our GX's not any other make or model vehicles because I know each vehicle will have it own wind dynamics which these may work or may not. Do they actually help reduce wind noise when...

    BFG 287/75R17 A/T's NOW Available, Thinking of selling my current BFG 315/70R17 A/T's

    Wouldn't you know that late last year when I had to replace my BFG 285/75R17 M/T's with the same make and size but going with an All Terrain instead of Mud Terrain, I could not find that size to save my life!! Not even the Mud Terrains. Nothing!! Just for giggles, after a post I responded to...

    E15 Gas?? Just how bad is it for our precious SUV's?

    Today President Biden just announced authorization of E15 gas to increase U.S. fuel supply and reduce prices. First off: THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A POLITICAL DEBATE OR THRASHING. I think we know where some of our views lie, so let's keep this civil and on post. Thank you all. Seeing this, first...

    re: Older GX's - Anyone replace the backup camera with a newer one with the limit lines?

    As the title says, I've been thinking about replacing the backup camera with a newer (Amazon?) one that has the limit lines on it. My 2013 is just the camera. And since I already have it remotely mounted on the swing-out of my bumper. Humm. Is it worth it? I believe it should just splice in with...

    Front Bumper WITH Receiver Mount for Winch or?

    Just tossing this out there to ALL the bumper manufacturers because I'm sure there should be some that would really like this feature. Have any of you ever thought about designing a front bumper with just a receiver? No space needed for a hidden winch or controls, just a receiver that's hard...

    Updating NAV?

    Has anyone bothered to update the navigation on their Premium or Luxury models? I'm sure some the early GX software is has some pretty out dated mapping. If so, is there an option other than the dealer for the CD or the ability to upload the software? Any other tips/tricks that can up updated...

    Mobile Cell Phone Boosters

    Often times when we're off roading in the middle of California and beyond, we either have very week cell service or none. I'm looking at cell boosters for my rig, something like the weBoost line of products. My criteria is I don't want a single phone cradle. I want the "RV" type that can connect...

    Speedometer Correction After Larger Tires?

    Just curious what all of you out there that have gone with larger tires are doing about your speedometers being off? After mounting BFG LT285/75R17 (33.9") size tires and regearing both front and rear diff's, my speedo is just about a perfect 10% off. Reading 50 mph on my binnacle, per the gps...

    GX sized Adventure Trailers & RTT's: Why/Why not?

    As most of you all have read already, we have an iKamper RTT that we love. But I have to admit since my rig is a daily driver, I really don't like having it on all the time. I also don't have an easy method to load and unload it or place to store when it's removed. Thus my wife and I are looking...

    Ultimate Trail Tool Kit (carry on for off road)

    This is something that I've been meaning to do for some time, put together a secondary tool kit to grab when I'm heading off pavement. So what I'd like to do is see what the consensus is on what and/or how many tools to carry along when wheeling/overlanding. I'd like to have a few categories...

    Auxiliary battery location talking point

    Okay, this is a talking point for all my friends out here in MUD. As (most of) you know I have dual Odyssey PC1200 batteries. Since Odyssey batteries are a little smaller, I have two of them stuffed in the factory location as seen in my build thread here: Builds - R2M 2013 GX460 Overland Build...

    So you want 35" tires? DIY article.

    So you have to have 35" tires... Despite the added strain on the front axles, longer braking distances, cost, poorer MPG and everything else associated with that size tire. In all honesty, the tires I have now on my GX (285/75R17 BFG M/T KM2's = 33.8" O.D.), are the smallest I've had on any of...

    How to add/make MaxTrax MKII mount to MetalTech rear bumper

    This is a real short and quick DIY to mount MaxTrax MKII's to the back of your MetalTech Lancer Rear Swing Out Bumper. One of the nice things about this mount is the way it's oriented, it does not act like a big-ol' wind sock when on the highway! First, you must have the dual jerry can mount...

    Upgrade/boost the front seat ventilation?

    I've done some searching here but can't find anything on this topic. About a month or so ago I did the Porsche Experience, here in Carson, CA. I was zipping around the track and other features that they have there having a good 'ol time (by the way, that is a REAL hoot!!!) and started getting...

    Has anyone re-purposed the ride comfort switch on the center console (upper right, 3 position switch) after gutting the stock suspension and adding a lift kit? Maybe lights, winch, air horn or??
