Hey all, my name is Lonny. First I want to thank all the great member on this forum and more specifically those on the 120 section. All the great info here allowed me to be at peace by selling my wife's 14' Toyota Highlander Limited Platinun and get her into a new USED 2004 GX470. Searched for months, finally pulling the trigger on one located in Mississippi, we live in Indiana. It was quite the drive home but well worth it. I drive an LX470 and will hop back and forth between the 100 and 120 sections as I'll be doing all maintenance and mods.

2004 GX470 non Nav or KDSS
Blizzard Pearl
197k well maintained miles
TB/ WP recently done
Best of all, no rust!

nice looking gx. any plans for future mods?

Thanks!
Probably not too much as it's going to be pulling "soccer mom" duty for years to come. One thing I've been looking at it ditching the air suspension setup and converting. The rear end will drop after a few hours after the ignition is off. May be an easy fix with a replacement air bladder but I haven't looked at it yet.

You can just ditch it all and go for coils in the back. Easy, permanent, and cheap.

If you are just doing soccer mom duty with it, strutmasters.com has the coil conversion kit for 360$. Includes coils.

If it is just one leaker my truck came with a spare airbag that I will not be using. I don't know if it is good or not but you can have it for free fifty plus shipping. My truck has been converted.

Awesome! Thanks! I'll PM you. Everything I see indicates the passenger side only. I just haven't searched or researched if it could be leaking from somewhere other than the bag...i.e. a fitting or cracked hose/ tube etc. It's probably the bag though.
