Greetings,
I recently bought a 05 GX470 w 164k miles and I’m completely new to the GX470 offroad/overlanding scene. I already slapped a set of FN FX Pro wheels and a set of Cooper AT3 tires on it. Between the 0 offset and the more aggressive A/T tire it completely changed the look of the vehicle.
Over the last couple months I’ve done countless hours of research reading the forums and I still have some questions that seem like they could use a year ‘2020‘ updated response.
My 05 has Navi with the ML sound system. I want/need to interface my iphone with the vehicle. Whats the best upgrade as of now, all the threads on this seem to be a year plus dated and the verdict was out on the telsa screen. Is the Telsa screen holding up durability wise and have the bugs been worked out? What about the beat sonic mva-81? Anything else worth condemning? Seems like a legit solution to get BT interface.
I want to also start doing some preventative maintenance on this tank as well. It has a s***load of dealer records but I haven’t seen anything on trans/diff fluid changes or thermostat or anything suspension wise ect. I know this is a beast of a truck but as a possible all these things haven’t been changed by 164k? I am coming from German vehicle ownership and the car would’ve fallen apart twice over by now.
I’m legit excited about this Japanese tank of a SUV. Its not perfect but so far its pretty badass.
