I am starting this open discussion to document the issues with my GX. Hopefully it will be helpful for others. I have noticed an abnormal consumption of coolant (2004 with 204,433K). It's "winter" here in Northern OH and my truck sits outside. It's a daily driver so I have cold starts every...
Hoping someone can help me out.
So...I pressed the center differential lock button today (to actually unlock the differential). I went and pressed it again to lock. However, now it won't lock. I get a solid "VSC Off" light on, and a flashing light showing the differential (drive train) on...
Thought you all would get a kick. Friend and I got both the GXs in his garage for some work…makes it nice seeing two looks at every job.
I’ve joked with him we should buy a salvage one so between us we can part through it over the coming years.
Hello all! Im looking for some advice with our GX470. The vehicle is occasionally misfiring on cylinder #6. I swapped over number eight number six coil pack and it didn't change anything. The spark plug seemed a little fouled so I put a new spark plug in. My p0306 code went away but the live...
Hi All, just procured a 2008 GX470 with 160k miles and came with an Icon Stage 2 2.5in lift and Method wheels. Everything else is stock but will be looking to add a few things. Haven't been offroad yet and am new to the offroad world but totally looking forward to exploring the South West. I...
Selling a set of 5 OEM GX470 wheels with tires. These were pulled from my 2009 GX back in Oct 2023. Tires are 265/65R/17 Michelin X LT A/S with probably another 10k miles on them. The 4 main wheels are in very good condition; the spare is in slightly rougher condition and has a different...
Hey guys...I'm having a weird issue where I hear a beeping sound (ABS? VSC?) when I'm turning right from a stop, almost like a wheel is slipping, but it happens on dry pavement. The day before, the VSC lights came on, and I was able to use my OBDLink MX+ to clear the codes and the lights have...
Used servos I pulled from my GX470 during a dash replacement are listed on eBay, as a lot of four. One of them was clicking when I pulled them, probably the blend door servo. The others seemed to work fine, but these are sold as-is.

Hi I’m new to the group, I own a 2005 4th gen 4runner limited with the 2uzfe. I’ve owned the car going in 6 years with no issues other than an intermittent P0430 which usually went away so I ignored it. 5 months ago I replaced all the spark plugs with oem from the dealer in an attempt to improve...

I'm planning to buy some wheels soon for my 2008 GX and came across these wheels. I really like the look, can you guys let me know if these will bolt up to a stock GX? From what I can tell they should work but just want to be sure.

Looking to upgrade to a Land Cruiser/LX570 for the growing fam. Drives great, would not hesitate to jump in it for a 2,000 mile road trip. Quiet and smooth on the highway and never wheeled hard.

This morning as I was taking my daughter to school I turned the heater on and realized after about 20 minutes that the air was blowing cold. I turned the temperature to the highest setting and that did not help. I read a few forums and decided to run the diagnose on the AC system. I got code 21...
Proud owner of 2003 GX470 with only 76k miles - want to turn into overlanding beast and invest in it for the true long haul.
Super excited, and tons of wood to chop as I get started working on it. Any tips or must-have mods you all recommend?
I have owned an 03GX470 for a long time (years). It has around 300k miles. The steering is tight, the suspension is tight. It is totally stock and no replacement of any suspension parts (though I have done ball joints, etc.). But... I bought an 04, and it drives like an old pickup truck...
Been reading for a hour or so on the tire thread. About to go get new tires installed and looking at Toyo RT in 255 80 17. I have the 1” Dobinsons lift. What needs to be modified to fit this tire on stock wheels?
Edit: I’m currently running 275 70 17 KO2s with slight rub ant fulll lock in reverse.
I have for sale my 2008 Lexus GX470 with 148,000 miles on it. This truck has been extremely reliable in my time of ownership. If you are looking for a solid overlanding rig, first car for a lucky teenager, or a reliable daily driver, this would make a great vehicle for you!
