    hi all.... been a while since i've been on here, but thought i'd bump this thread up. my '06 with dobinson's lift and 285/70r17 wildpeaks is experiencing same issue described here. it happened after i ran into a curb HARD and had to have a tie-rod and steering rack replaced. one shop replaced...

    Replace tensioner and pulley with serpentine belt?

    hi all... instead of starting a new thread, figured i'd piggy back on this one. can you guys check these pics of my serpentine belt and tensioner? i feel like the belt isn't aligned right... would you all recommend replacing? also, what parts would you go with? oem?

    Yes OEM is always option #1... That's said, I replaced mine with Cardone 665235HD from Rock Auto. My friend did the same... So far so good.

    Opinions needed- GX470 as family carrying daily driver, too old?

    welcome nick! honestly, i think ebbs15 covered the bases well... but i'll give my perspective below. just for reference, my wife drives a 2015 GX460 (which we've owned since day 1, and have only put about 25K miles on), and i purchased a 2006 GX470 with 154k miles on it back in nov '18. my...

    Looks like I will be selling the 470.

    there's no way the 460 forum will be as good as us! they're all elitists (j/k!) sorry, i dont have a clue what to recommend for pricing... maybe just keep it? so basically, my wife drives a 460 and i drive a 470... my son will be driving in about 5 years, so my intention is to inherit my...

    non-nav GX needs radio upgrade

    i'm assuming this would work for you... but i did a full nav to non-nav conversion and then installed an android auto headunit from china. coupled with a carplay dongle, i'm pretty happy with it. a little glitchy at times, but miles better than the old stock unit.

    285/70/17 question/help

    similar to homers above... i can't speak to your exact setup, but here's what i'm running: - P285/70R17 falken wildpeak at3w (p-rated... not lt-rated) on stock wheels... these are roughly 33" tires per falken's website - dobinsons 2" lift - spc adjustable upper control arms - 1.5" spacers all...

    First Old Man Emu Lift - GX470 - too stiff??

    yah, i have a "medium" dobinsons 2" lift, with no extra weight... as soon as i got it installed, i felt like it was just right. i think you're only hope is that the extra weight will soften up the ride... because i doubt there is really any break-in.

    Hewitt Technologies - SAIS Bypass

    this was from another ih8mud thread... i was under the impression that the plates were more of e necessity if you have stuck open or leaking valves, and that perhaps you could get away with just the plug-and-play bypass. but clearly below, hewitt recommends installing the plates regardless...

    Replace nav touch screen in 2004 GX470

    i successfully did the nav to non-nav conversion... i'm not that adept at wrenching and never worked on car audio before. with adonis' help and patience (as well as some others), i got through it. if you take your time, and don't rush it, i dont think it's THAT bad. i'm not saying it's easy...

    White Knuckle Sliders on GX 470

    nice build thread! i do like how the WNO sliders are tucked closely to the body... but i have a couple young kids. do you think they kickouts in the rear provide enough room to actually utilize as a step? i only have a 2" lift, but i'd hate to have to help them in and out of the car everytime....

    JW Offroad Spare Tire Mount

    yah... i guess when it comes to the 120-series door failure and more specifically aftermarket spare-tire door mounts, it comes down to a few possible weak points: 1. door seam - from my perspective, this seems to be the most frequent issue... perhaps caused by the leverage put on the door when...

    White Knuckle Sliders on GX 470

    hi all... it's been a couple years since this thread was bumped. WNO advertises GX470 sliders now, and i'm assuming that more people are using them. any feedback?

    JW Offroad Spare Tire Mount

    right! okay, this makes sense to me... it's maybe not the MOTION of opening/closing the door, but the stress on the seem when it gets slammed all the way open. but if this is the case, don't you agree that the "tongue" support in the closed position won't really do much when it comes to seem...
