2007 GX470 - First mod?

[eddythedog]

I am hoping to acquire a 2007 GX470 (waiting for it to pass inspection) later this week or early next week. I'm excited to have it for the upcoming PacNW winter. Question for the experienced folks on what modifications or updates they would make as a priority for a PacNW winter and spring.

Thanks...Luckily for us out here in Oregon roads are very rarely salted. We don't get much snow and most areas don't use salt/chemicals due to the runoff impact into the rivers (we've got several species of salmon that are listed as endangered species). The GX I'm buying has been an OR vehicle it's entire life with a nice low 125K miles.

I'll look into Fluid Film. Next?

You may have more luck in the GX forum (120 forums). GXOR on FB is a good resource as well.

Fluid film + snow tires. But ask here instead: GX470 / Prado120

Good tires (will vary depending on intended use)

Appreciate the advice. I might leave the running boards on until I get some rock sliders (need to take a look at the past threads before jumping into this). As far as tires go, I'm going with BFG T/A K02's. Costco has a 150 off sale and they get really good reviews, so might as well go with them.
