Hey guys,

I've owned my 2005 GX470 Sport with KDSS (non-nav) since 2021, but have really neglected to do anything with it. This thread is to document my progress and to kinda motivate me to actually fulfill all the plans I have made for my GX!

So far I have replaced the factory radio with a Joying head unit and wired the backup camera. Wheels and tires are next! Any input and advice is appreciated!

The first thing I did was install a new Joying head unit. I still really like it and have had no issues. I also wired a rearview camera.

As far as the unit is concerned, I have no complaints. The screen is responsive and the wireless carplay works very well and connects quickly.

Looks good. What snorkel did you install?

It is an ARB Safari Snorkel.
