Jane the GX470 (SOLD it already lol)

ReallY? i didnt know you could do that. It'd work with the Stock air controls upfront (H/N/L)?

If so that'd be sick

Also you know the relays that come with the tow package? I want to add a hitch and it's got nothing in the sense of connections underneath besides the pigtails on the driver side.

 

I heard it supposedly works but both myself and another guy couldn’t get it to work. I ran a Schraeder valve and just add air when needed. Just towed this trailer across country and it was maxed out on weight. Even if you can’t get it to work with the stock compressor springs are way better than the stock airbags.

 

That's my wife's face anytime I..........well........just anytime.

 

Join the club

 

I see. Well i dont plan on towing yet since i've got the tacoma for that but i was still curious if it'd still work.

I see you KINGS

 

I guess I should ask why don’t you like the coil springs? Is there a reason you want height control?

 

I dont mind them honestly, i just saw the dial and thought it'd be kewl to lower/raise the rear at will.

 

You aren’t missing out on anything. The only thing you will miss is the experience of a airbag popping on a trail in the middle of nowhere.

 

Cracked dash might be a freebie from Lexus..... When I purchased my new to me '04 RX 330 I was informed that a "dash replacement campaign" was in effect..... a few months after purchase my wife is driving a "loaner Lexus" and our RX now has a brand new Factory dash...all on Lexus dime.....

Just take a look on their "campaign site with your VIN #...... Momma might give you a "little leeway" with $$$ if you impress her with this

Toyota treated me like a King with the '02 Tacoma ; new frame, ball joints and spare tire carrier plus a "free ride" each time and Lexus keeps up that great rep...

OK ,Old Man off to bed...........

Good luck with the New Ride.............

 

Welpt that aint nothing i want to experience.

Thanks! I want to say the campaign ended in 2017. it probs doesnt hurt to drop by a dealer and see what they say though.

Im enjoying the ride thanks

 

Talked to a shop today about Timing Belt/ Water pump/ Tension / Idler / Cam/crankcase seals.

500$ OTD with me providing parts.

Should be a good way to make the GX to 300K without any issues

Dropping it off on Thursday

 

Just moved to Charlotte, NC. When are we wheeling that beast?

 

When are we wheeling my tacoma

 

URE apparently is the move. I’ve never been but folks say it’s a good time.

@Sandman614 lets gooo

 

Shop called yesterday (dropped it off yesterday AM) and confirmed that she would be ready for pickup today at some point.

After that job is done i'll probs get started on sanding/repainting all the wheels.

Then just drive it lol.

 

Got Jane back today from the Shop:

-Timing Belt
-Water Pump
-Thermostat
-Serpentine Belt
-Fan Clutch
-Crank/Camshaft Seals
-Oil Change while they had it lol
-Coolant system lookover

She drives much better knowing that im good for another 100K miles or so. Now to just drive around and enjoy that stock life.

Got some GXOR gear on the way (sticker and license plate cover)

 

2 Month Update:

Nothing of note, as expected.

Just graduated from the Columbia Fire Academy so her new job is taking me to my station every 3rd day. She's doing a good job so far.

 

Hell yeah, this things clean!

You're making me think i need to get a daily...

 

what did you end up paying to get all that done?

 

Super reasonable considering i paid for parts myself (~300) and had them do some misc stuff while they were in there.

1000$ +/-
