Joined the club with a 2004 GX470 (non-nav) (1 Viewer)

[Article241]

Thanks to years of acquiring knowledge that all of you shared on this forum and others, I am finally joining the club with a 2004 GX470 from Georgia.

About 200k miles on it, no rust, clean CarFax and PPI, rear coil spring conversion with Bilstein 5100 all around (1" lift), 33" tires (285/70R17), and a recently serviced timing belt and water pump. No navigation system and the dash isn't even cracked.

Upcoming modifications list for the next 12 months (in no order):

• De-chroming (grille, window and hatch trim)
• De-wooding(?) door inserts
• Desert Does It front seat jackers (driver and passenger sides)
• LED bulbs for headlights (high and low beam) and fog lights (with proper adjustment)
• BlueDogDesignwerks' cup holders insert, and transfer case and forward switch panels
• RSCA, DAC and central diff lock switches regrouped on the same central console panel
• Double-din Apple CarPlay head unit, 360 camera, dash cam (2 channels), and USB charging ports
• ThoughPRO rubber floor mats (front and second rows, cargo area)
• TKO Fabrication wide sliders (local to me)
• 8" wide FN Wheels in matte gunmetal to better accommodate the 285/70R17 tires

Looking forward to get started!

you got a lifted one straight out the gate.

What double Din dash are you looking at?

I have looked at CarPlay options on Crutchfield, but haven’t settled on a specific unit yet.

My use case will revolve mostly on Apple Maps and Music, and as a display for a backup camera (although a 360 degree system would be even better).
