Hello All,
I believe this is the appropriate forum for a (specific) new member intro. So, greetings!
We just bought a 2003 GX 470 in pretty clean shape, about 168k with the belt/pump done in the 70's (miles that is
)
We're close to Seattle WA.
Anyhow, really enjoying all the info here on common problems and challenges (e.g. I'm reading up on 2003 Nav mod options, like the Grom unit vs. a DIY delete).
Also enjoying reading about the range of aftermarket options and mods. Really reminds me of the Subaru WRX/STi community. Very technical and entrepreneurial!
A really simple (hopefully) question for anyone in the region with a similar vehicle:
Who are the good indie shops and commercial modders in the Puget Sound region? For my prior vehicles, it was super-helpful to have someone who can help with maintenance and modding strategy. My brother suggested any 4runner or off-road shops as a starting point. We already have a great general mechanic nearby; Lexus dealer is a bigger trip. Wondering in which areas we really need more enthusiast (or at least specialized) help.
Any tips appreciated!
Cheers,
David
