Howdy folks,
Last weekend I picked up a 2006 GX 470. Ash Mica Blue over Gray, just under 108k miles. It will become my wife's DD, which I'll borrow occasionally to drag my toys around.
I bought it in Marietta, GA and drove it four hours home bouncing on the rear bump stops (not fun). That afternoon I took it straight to my friend's house where we removed the failed bags and replaced them with new coil springs and new shocks.
This site has already been tremendously helpful, both for pre-purchase research as well as looking into mods and upgrades. I'm looking forward to spending time here!
