gx470

Hello all, long time member/lurker with my first real build on here. Please note that CK Excursions is not a business, just a FaceBook Page we use to showcase our adventures, check us out if you like. We have picked up an 08 GX470 with 60k miles on it. This will be our 3rd unofficial build in...

I'm interested in fabbing and mounting some aftermarket switches for lights, compressors, radio power etc up here and I'm curious if anyone has taken it on? My initial hope was that I could somehow use the existing g wiring that's in place. If not, where have you mounted aftermarket switches?

I think this just became available from Off-Grid Engineering folks. The pictures shows a very clean install with the battery mounted on the passenger side of engine compartment. Wondering if anybody has experience with this company or the actual mount. 2003 - 2009 Lexus GX 470 Auxiliary...

Hi all, I just registered recently, this community has an amazing amount of information, I'm seriously jealous of all the knowledge. I have a long way to go, never really modded cars at all, but hoping to get my feet wet soon. I just bought a 2005 GX 470 w/KDSS and 135k miles that I would like...

This will be my wife's daily driver with our two boys, 2/5 years old. Light off road, lake, wash roads and snow. I would prefer a 100 series for the looks and size, but in searching the last two months getting frustrated with the poor selection. Near by a local Toyota dealer has a 2000 LC with...

Not mine but a pretty good deal... 2003-2009 Lexus GX470 weathertech floor liners mats

Hey everyone. New to the forum and new to the GX world. Been thinking about getting one for a few months and have been creeping for awhile. After weeks of reading it's amazing how underrated these vehicles are. It's the typical "soccer mom" platform, but still great off-road capabilities...

If you're looking for a GX470 this is the one to buy. I purchased this car for my wife from the original owner - a doctor in Paradise Valley who always had it serviced at the dealership. All services on time, with a thick folder of dealer receipts to prove it. This is the rare, top end Sport...

Unless someone can talk me out of it I think I'll keep the air ride. It's going to be 95 pavement cruiser. Where's the best place to get quality replacement parts? I just got the truck and it needs some attention. The back right is dropping every time I park it. I'm assuming this is a...

So I just bought my GX470 around 5 months ago and have done some small upgrades such as Bilstein 5100s in the front, threw a roof rack on it and a set of General Grabbers. I am putting sliders on here in the near future and the build list continues to grow. I had an FJ that had a rear locker...

I had these springs custom made for my GX470 by Coil Spring Specialties in KS. We based them off a 2007 4Runner, V8, 4WD; then added 15% higher spring rate, 200 lbs additional load capacity, and 1.5" height. Net is, on a GX they ride quite nice and are a great way to dispose of the airbags, and...

Another forum I am on has a thread like this and I found it extremely helpful in picking tires and lifts. For those who would like to contribute, post your combination of the tire size/brand/type including lift and any modification to fender, running boards, liners or bumpers. If you have...

Hey everyone! Figured I’d share my very mild 2008 GX470. I bought it a couple years ago with 49k on the odometer and have been using it for mild wheeling and camping ever since. Prior to the GX, I had a 2nd gen Tacoma, a TJ, XJ, and CJ. 2008 GX470: Stock suspension SSO sliders (weld-on) T4R TRD...

As the title states, I'm looking for a CAD model of the GX470 that I can import into SolidWorks so I can play with bumpers, sliders and skid designs for it. I found this, which looks very accurate, but it costs $75 and I haven't looked into the program compatibility or how detailed it actually...

Preface : I was in Austin TX in 2011 and saw this funky looking Toyota with a badge "FJ Cruiser" on the back of it. I got back to Houston , and immediately bought one and the addiction began. I built it the best I could with the expendable funds I had , and took it to several parks , and...

My wife has a GX470 2006 model, it needs new shocks after 127K miles. She plans on keeping it another year and doesn't really want to pay for the Lexus replacements. Anyone install 4Runner shocks on a GX470? Any special modifications needed? Thanks

Hey there, I am looking at recommendations for Aluminum skid plates for a GX470 with KDSS. Thank you!

This is my first post on this forum as I am fairly new so I apologize for asking for help right out of the gate, however I am sure many of you have done this conversion, or something similar. Is there a good thread someone has put together on how to remove rear air suspension and replace with a...

My air coils in the rear went out a few weeks back, I replaced them myself with an Arnott coil conversion kit. It rides great, just as good if not better than stock. But Now I'm thinking of going a little higher. My goal is to gain about 2", nothing too wild, while retaining the stock struts...

Guys, been a LONG time since I've posted, and I've never posted in here! I've had a daily driver GX with KDSS for 3 years now, and like everybody else, my suspension is weak and an airbag finally leaks. So over Christmas vacation, it's all getting replaced and ripped out. I'm fairly new to...
