How’s the beam 398 central vac ?

Hello! What bumper do you have on your GX?

I'm having issues trying to connect my phone to the microphone. Do you have any vids or links that might help thank you

New to the GX/ off-road scene. You mentioned putting the transfer case back in high. Excuse the noob question but should I be doing that for any normal/ highway driving? Haven’t done any off roading yet and have always just left the transfer case in neutral driving around. Apologies for the newb question! Awesome video!

The road around silverwood lake is not off-roading.

Thanks for this! I’m a new gx owner . It’s so nice to see this work at a “regular “ guy level. I go thru the same “Hackery” because I’m too stubborn.

Yeah but what happens when your just gassed up your going 80 down the highway trying to drink your coffee and eat your donut and the semi next to you has a blowout and causes you to make a high speed maneuver? They don’t put sway bars on every vehicle just because its fun there is a huge safety feature you’re not addressing

Great video. I just finished this job and I have one extra tip for the top nut on the shock, which ultimately took a couple hours to sort out for the first one, while all the rest of the job took no more than 20 min per side. When the top nut is inevitably rusted in place and just won't break free, no matter how hard you try, and with much-o releaser oil, and trying every tool you have, you can use a nut splitter, available for about $18 at the local hardware store, to break the nut and then turn it off. A torch or cutter isn't really an option on the left hand side, because the shock is not far from the gas tank and just below the fuel filler line - not a good place for flame or sparks. You'll also need a 1/2" impact wrench and a 3/4" impact socket to do this. (1) Slip the nut splitter up over the nut, with the cutter bit vertical and on a flat side of the nut - you'll need a light and a mirror to see whether the cutter is approximately vertical and on the nut. (2)Using a socket and a standard ratchet wrench on the nut splitter, tighten the cutter bit hard against the offending nut until you can't really turn it anymore. This will hold it in place for the impact wrench (3)Put the impact wrench on the nut splitter on its highest torque setting and let er rip. If the nut splitter works its way up off the nut before it has finished cutting through the nut, then start at step 1 again and make sure the cutter bit is lined up with the cut so far. (4)once the nut splitter has cut through the nut, squirt releaser oil into the cut in the nut and wait a few minutes (5)using whatever size wrench will fit snuggly on the now deformed and broken nut, turn it off. Both of mine came off easily after being split. As noted, the rest of the job will take about 20min following the steps in the video.

Thank you!! Great video that will help us DIY people.

I might chop mine off, it sounds like a stock v8 ameran truck with it removed. That’s the tone I like because it won’t drone.

Look into the lens of your camera, not at yourself.

Tanks don’t use tires.

How many fricking times do you have to tell us about the damn clear coat?

What transfer case fluid I should buy to put in there sir?

Awesome video. Can you tell me what the bolts are called below and clips?

Looking at an 04 with 180k miles on it. Dealership wants $9,000. It is a GA truck, with an immaculate undercarriage. 3 previous owners, which is a little much, but none of them put a ton of miles on it. Still up in the air as far as pulling the trigger on it. What do you think?

Is it normal that the car accelerates in D and R. When I let go of the brake it pushes or pulls depending on D or R without stepping the gas

Thanks for the video. Just did the front brakes. One caliper bolt was on tight but a jack and a long breaker bar worked.

Hey, checkout Tinkerers adventure. He did a lot of tests on swaybars on toyota Ifs and found that removing just the rear sway bar actually limits your travel overall. He found that it's better to just have it on. But if you remove the front sway bar, you actually see an increase in both front and rear sway bar travel.

I did the same head unit but I have a Nav GX. I had to change out the Non Nav AC controller but with wiring it works great.

I see you’re trying to do your best with the knowledge that you have. although a lockwasher would never work like that there’s a reason it’s on the nut and not the bolt. And if you didn’t cut all your air lines and took your time, I have took these units off for a while now and replaced them and I have sold them up to $400. To individuals that would like to keep their airbags. That can’t afford the high price of a new ones.

Seem like this vehicle has some high and expensive concerns, no different from a Range Rover LR4...I have a 2002 RR P38 on its 22nd yr...not sure which one would cost me less between my p38 and getting a used GX470....

Hi this atoto is no longer available do you have an alternative model for apple play?

Even an idiot like me can do this!

Good one. Thanks brother

IMO the best bang for the buck mod is LED headlight bulbs. There are sets with Hi/Low beams for around $70 on Amazon that make a massive difference.

Must be nice to have money!

A lot a false claims in this video. Transmission, VVTI... Do your research people

I have a GX470 2004 How do you program the SWC to work? I can only do 1 function?? TIA

Great vid...Well done. Quick question: What happens in a torrential downpour rainstorm? My thought is that's a much more likely scenario to cause a massive amount of water ingress than spray from around the fender liner with tape. No?

I hope Fleshlight doesn’t sue

what year is the LX? any reason why you bought a rear camera for the front? do/dont they make a front camera? one without the backup guide lines

What a bullshit video! You will never do a brake job where the pistons are opened!

This is a really well done video, thanks for taking the time to present it comprehensively. I am an avid overlander and just purchased an '08 to do a build on. With such a wide variety of varying reviews on replacement head units, I am curious about your thoughts now that you've a year under your belt after install?

Where did buy that little mesh or you made it ?

This is an excellent video. It shows the full build, the smaller components in addition to the main pieces, and you explain why. Two things. I will not fix the flexible solar panel. I am in Canada, and the ability to place and move the panel and chase the sun is important. Second, when using double-sided tape, remove the protective paper tape after you have secured one side and roll the paper tape off as you roll out the flexible panel. Love this, thank you

Is that a screen in your head rest?

Good video ! Ty. I’m about to call them and get a price on 4.88s for my 5th gen ….

How are your 4.88 gears holding up?? We run the same diffs in the hilux in Australia i believe. Everyone reckons we will break them fisrt hard track. How are yours?

To much echo n your studio.

What size pipe wrench did you use?

I ordered this for my GX470 a couple months ago and I have not heard back from them since my original order confirmation. I've tried email and even calling and nothing.

I cannot for the life of me pop that brake line bracket.

the spring on the front breaks is in backwards/upside down

Your buddy is worthless as a spotter had you not made the right decision to back up and take another line he would had you on your top.

I want to thank you for posting this bro. Super easy. Thanks to you!
