I've been lurking the GX/120 forums for a few weeks and finally decided to pull the trigger on 2008 GX470 Sport with 65K miles. I live in Colorado but flew to Atlanta to pick it up and drove home this week. The GX has a few blemishes on the outside that have been touched up, but the inside looks brand new. I also opted for a platinum 3-year 45K mile warranty.
I already have a full-size SUV (Nissan Armada), but needed something to replace my BMW 330xi (e46) since its way to small for my family. I have 4 kids that are all in Recaro child seats. The GX is my new commuter car and off-roader (mild). I've previously owned Jeeps (4) and looked at LR4's before the GX, but I wanted something dependable.
Issues so far....I just discovered that my manifolds are cracked. I did JBA long tubes and high flow b-pipes with cats and custom Uprev tuning on my Armada, which took me ~14 hours. There aren't a lot of options for the GX. Surprised there isn't someone selling a repair/performance package for the GX/120's. I had a bad blinker, and thanks to the forums I was able to change it in 5-minutes in the auto store parking lot.
I also discovered that my KDSS light isn't turning on when starting the truck. Anyone know where the fuse/relay is to see if it's bad?
I have warped rotors, so I bought new PowerStop rotors and pads while I was on the road home. Hope to install them this weekend if we don't get too much snow. The wheels were stripped and repainted by the dealer.
