    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.

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

    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.....:thumbsup:

    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 :cool:

    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...:fistbump:

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

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

    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 :cool:

    Dropping it off on Thursday

    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.

    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.

    1000$ +/-
