    So... We Bought a Bronco

    I've owned a GX for 10 years and have a 2023 Tacoma. My 20 year old older GX is still a much quieter, more refined vehicle. Its been a really amazing truck and it's the only car/truck I've ever owned that I can without a doubt tell you I'll never sell.

    2004 GX470 Non-nav conversion

    I’d have to do some digging, it’s been a few years and it’s currently in winter storage. Yes, as far as I remember all the functions work except the clock and the outside temp I believe. I haven’t driven it since October so I’m not too sure.

    2007 GX 470 Issues

    How can a shop not see that you have one side that has negative toe and one side that has positive toe (both out by a lot) and that’s probably your issue over camber. .30 toe on left front and -.30 on the front literally has your wheels pointing right. No wonder if wants to go that way. The...

    2004 GX470 Non-nav conversion

    I have a good ML amp I would’ve sold you for $200 if we had compatible year trucks. Also, yes, you could’ve done a Phoenix audio Tesla style screen. I have one in my ML equipped truck.

    GX 470 Repair Costs from a Toyota Dealership

    Yes, you’re referring to what most dealers have gone to now-a-days, and that’s the parts and service pricing matrix. I don’t particularly agree with it but my name isn’t on the building so I just deal with it. I’ve been in the business a long time and I’ve never worked at a store that would...

    GX 470 Repair Costs from a Toyota Dealership

    I’m sure the brand images have changed over the years. The last time I put a CV or complete axle in my truck was over 10 years ago now.

    GX 470 Repair Costs from a Toyota Dealership

    Good, I'm glad you got the issues taken care of. I made an edit to my post about CV boots. If it's a bad leak and it's been leaking for an unknown time, replace the axle. If its a small leak and the joint still has grease, re-boot it. I've had a NAPA premium axle in mine for 10 years, and my...

    GX 470 Repair Costs from a Toyota Dealership

    Theres a lot to unpack here in your very incorrect advice. I'll break it down as the resident toyota tech and OG GX owner, Tacoma owner, and FJ60 owner. 1- Your parking brake diag may be correct but don't forget the vehicle is in NY. Rust is a real contender and can make adjustments very...

    03 GX, no/very little sound from radio. (ML/Nav)

    I get nothing at all. I have rear seat audio but no rear seat entertainment. IE; no flip down DVD.

    03 GX, no/very little sound from radio. (ML/Nav)

    Yes. All systems show OK. Weird additional fact I figured out- all the song titles that display with the radio presets are the same titles from when the radio stopped working last year. This issue is a doozy. I may just do a Tesla screen and be done with Nav/ML.

    03 GX, no/very little sound from radio. (ML/Nav)

    So the sound in my truck stopped working. You’re probably typing “replace the amp” right now. It’s not the amp. I swapped in a known good one. If I change the input to CD and crank it waaaay up, I can get a little tiny bit of sound from the speakers. Both radio fuses are good. Amp cooling fan...

    GX470 Wheel/Tire/Lift Picture Combination Thread

    My 33” spare rubs the crap out of my panhard. Been fine for years.

    GX470 Wheel/Tire/Lift Picture Combination Thread

    Made some changes to the rear. Rear setup is now long travel with Dobinson 677’s, extended brake lines, and custom valved Radflo’s and resi’s. I need to let the rear settle a bit and then make some coilover adjustments on the front.

    Is this Chinese all aluminum radiator IT?!

    I have what I would consider a much better quality mishimoto aluminum radiator in my FJ60 compared to the Chinese one here in question. I got 2 years and 3,000mi out of my first one before it started leaking, but they have lifetime warranties. Never in my life would I put an all aluminum...
