Sold my Red GX a few short years back, had withdrawals since then. Looked for 2 months or so another one, had a few deals not make it for different reasons, even lost out to BenzilDawg"s GX on this forum by like less than a day as the current deal I was on was not looking as good as it sounded. BenzilDawgs GX was every bit worth it compared to the GX"s I saw in the previous weeks and I just should have saved time, gas etc. looking elsewhere. I really wanted a black or dark blue nautical Metallic with dark gray interior. preferably with non nav for an easier sound system upgrade.
So finally, I messaged with another GXOR member who was selling his for a few months it seemed. Sked what his lowest price would be, agreed on the very friendly price and drove 3 hours and bought it. There is literally no rust on the underside, interior is great shape, no exhaust leak at the manifold or underneath, no sunroof assembly intermittent noise while driving, some rattling speakers, and what looks like a new dash, soft to the touch, no cracks, beautiful! So I settled on the silver and so far loving it. Needs attention to an item or 2 but you know how that goes. here is a few shots of when I picked it up, Got a set of 4 Runner wheels on it, didnt like it like I thought, then got a pair of used Icons which I love more than I thought I would with the stock size 265/65/17 Michelins on them. Dont know how much of a "build" I am goimg to do as far as lifitng. I am trying to stay stock height right now. Have a pair of 4runner struts and rear shocks with 500 miles that will go on next maybe. Having a slight vibration at 40/50 mph and again at 60 acting differently on different highway pavements. I like the stock suspension but if the fronts are worn ill have to replace.
