I’m doing some research but can’t find posts on these universal rear shocks on a GX470.
These rear shocks seem to be extended travel that fit my needs perfectly, but not sure if they have the right eyelet bushings.
Bilstein 5125 = 33-230351
46mm bodies
10.2” travel
16.13” compressed length...
I’ve seen a few reports in GXOR over on FB of aftermarket UCAs nut backing out and causing the wheel to fall off.
Everyone suspects that the nut wasn’t torqued to spec and it backed out when driving.
One recommendation for an easy fix is to add a second nut, add blue loctite, and torque to 85...
I came across this product called Taco Tabs from Poly Performance.
The idea is that it fixes your alignment so that you don’t need to do an alignment because there’s no cam bolts that move.
Just wondering if anyone running the Taco Tabs on a GX470

Edit:…I should have searched...
I’m still running the stock oem H3 bulbs on my stock fog lights.
I’m hoping to upgrade just the bulb (not the housing and not add 3rd party fog lights) to an LED H3 bulb that fits into the stock oem location.
I’m reading comments and some people are saying that the H3 LED bulbs are not as good...
My stock oem CV boots are old and I've been offroading a little more again. I'm trying to figure out which cv boots to carry as spares.
I'm only lifted like 2.4" in the front and I have the diff drop installed, so I don't think the CVs are at a very high angle.
I'm trying to make this...
Anyone know or runs reinforcement boots/braces/splints/sleeve for the factory tie rods?
I ran into a YouTube video that the new Broncos are bending tie rods like crazy and after-market Bronco braces and/or splints are hitting the market for the new Broncos.
I'm wondering if that would work on...
Im leaving in a day for a one week dispersed camping trip and I just noticed an oil leak.
Im trying to figure out if it’s a good idea to clean the oil stains/drip before the trip or leave them alone.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the oil leak inspected or repaired today, so I have to go in my...
Here's another thread on how to spend more time on your GX470 adding valuable lipstick. Since I added Raptor lights, I guess I'm now on an LED light fetish! This will be like a series of posts as I figure this out real-time. And sorry in advance if this is too simple for the electrically...
Update 12/29/2021: On my 2003, I ended up tapping the a/c-heater fuse #21. The raptor lights turn on when you turn on the air (air conditioned, vented air, heated air). Lights go off when air is off or ignition is off. It looks like 2003-2004 have big fuses blocking access to the seat heater...
I was going to do a YouTube video on this, but I realize I don't quite have the following like all those good looking young YouTube people! LOL. Also, I didn't feel like doing a PowerPoint presentation and talking over all the costs I've incurred...that's so old school. And I don't have the...
I've been a big supporter of the 6112s as a great value option for the GX470. It's a 60mm body (equal to 2.6" diameter body) to hold more fluid. Also, it's a stronger shock (thicker rod) all around compared to the 5100. You don't have to rebuild the shock because you can't, so it will last the...
My Nitto Ridge Grapplers are 285/70R17 which translates to a 32.7" x 11.2" tire. For my next set, I'm contemplating the Kenda Klever RT 33x10.5 which actually are like a 32.76" x 10.46" per some post that I think I read online.
I have 17x9 wheels with a -12 offset and my current tires rub the...
I recently had new cats installed and today i figured out what was banging inside my passenger wheel well.
Does this look like the oem stock actuator for the stock oem shock?
Before I remove it, I figure I ask.
I just ordered two Denso O2 upstream sensors 234-4138 on Amazon. The product was described as Denso. I received two sensors individually packaged in a plastic bag wrapped around bubble wrap inside a yellow envelope. The envelope had home printed stickers that said "NEW" Denso O2 Sensor 234-4138...

I went to Mammoth Lakes, California (altitude around 8K feet) for 4 days. It was very smoky in the late afternoons due to the Creek Fire. On the last day I decided to check my K&N air filter and it was pretty dirty. I banged it against my tire to let a lot of dirt and dust come off the filter...
If anyone sees discount coupons or Black Friday sales or Xmas sales for offroading parts for the GX470, please post up here. I'm in the market for long-travel rear suspension parts and I just realized Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner. Also, some places are starting to...
I am contemplating a conversion to a long travel rear suspension for my air-bag tricked GX470.
This setup that I put together might have some issues. First, the combination of these Dobinson rear shocks and rear springs might not be really long travel. They seem medium travel like a 2" rear...
