Builds GXOG: My 2003 GX470 (6 Viewers)

[madtoy]

Ordered new front and rear driveshafts. No more vibrations is in my future now that the front diff supports are done.

Will be a fun wrenching day:
- Front and rear Icon extended travel coilovers/extended travel expedition springs
- Timbren bump stops front and rear (rear sway delete)
- New OEM CVs
- New OEM drive shafts front and rear

Then I get to save to do the exhaust manifolds, lower oil pan (little wet), and then long travel.

Getting close to not needing anything! woohoo!

So where do you buy all of your OEM parts from?

When you say expedition springs are you talking about the overland 3" multi rate springs?
I am very currious about those on the gx, I really want progressive springs for the rear of the gx so I do not need to worry about installing air bags on it to handle a lot of extra weight. I am currious how high the gx will sit with these springs installed and no weight in the back.

They finally came in from fab! Long travel Icon non-resi

The parts are now all here. Just need to get some PM done (oil and fluids) then swap all this stuff out, get an alignment with +5 caster, and pop on 315s or 34x10.50 BFG AT K02s and be done till the long travel savings is complete later this year.

Sitting in Trinidad post carnival looking at all the Prado 120s and loving my choice to get the GX version and build it. So nice to have such a risk pay off. Can't wait to get home and icon it up and get out and play. Thanks for all the posts in the forum, awesome reading over morning coffee . Attached is my FIL 150 Prado that first got me thinking.

You need a new grille Dan.
