Toyota should go back in the past and put all 5 of these youtube links in the user manual for the GX. Thanks for the series man!

your skill set never fails to amaze me...electronics, mechanical, upholstery, I have no idea how you figure out how to do all this stuff but I love watching it! Great info, pacing and editing...keep 'em coming!

KZbin is my brain personally and has helped me bring my GX back to life several times. I'm sure he just watches and learns from others.

We have a 2008 lexus GX470. We are the second owner. We purchased it when it was four years old with eighty thousand kilometers. The vehicle now has two hundred and twenty thousand kilometers, and still drives like new. Two major repairs were the suspension air springs and electronic struts were all replaced and the timing belt and water pumps also. It's my wife's daily driver, and she wants to run it into the ground. Loved your video series. Thanks for making them. GX470 owners love to see these.

You may include 4runner 4th gen fans too because lots of engine and transmission applies to those as well some cosmetic…

It's all the little things, as well as the big things that count; and you got through plenty of each in this series. Well done. I look forward to the next project. Happy New Year!

You sir are an accomplished DIY person. Your vid’s should be instructional vids for Toyota/ Lexus. Thank u. I am amazed by your skill set.

Your window switch needs to be reprogrammed. Roll down the window that is not working holding the switch for 5 seconds (after it's down). Then roll the window up holding the switch for 5 seconds ( after it's up) and like magic the drivers control works again! God Bless

Hi Jeff! Unfortunately this problem is different than the routine window switch reprogramming. I wish that was it!

I really appreciate this channel. Just recently watched the transmission fluid video. Most helpful one I’ve seen. Not sure but I’ll prob have a mechanic do that 😂.I have an 09 with 157k. I recently became the 2nd owner. Do you have any advice on anything I should be concerned abt It’s got air bags in the rear (still working) I didn’t mess with the modes on it bc I don’t want them to fail 😂. I’m also thinking abt a rust protection kit (I live in the north east) great channel love the vids

I also have that exact same window issue. I just replaced both switches too with no fix.

Great video! You inspired me to fix my speedometer rather than sending it out. What sort of tool were you using when removing the stepper motor? I saw you soldered it off but you had some tool that was almost punching or clicking on the stepper motor to perhaps break the mounting tabs? Can you explain please

I enjoy your videos. Did you ever had to change the led bulb on the gauge cluster between 0-30 mile per hour?

GX470 👍👍👍🔝

How much did Lexus want for that window seal? The little reflectors on the bottom edge of the GX470’s were $78 each. Junk yard $10 each.

Hello, cool video, coming from your E39 project do you think E39 is a good first car in Europe in "practical enthusiast" theme? Like I dont want to get a civic, for safety reasons too, 1-2L more fuel consumption is bearable for a beautiful car and they are reliable if chosen wisely, am I missing some other good options? E38 would have been perfect, but at this point it's too big of a goal for me

why don’t you put an apple carplay adapter on that lexus

I have a GX 03 i’m having the same issue. My tachometer is not working the needles started bobbing and now it’s stuck on zero and also from 0 to 40 miles an hour is discolored. Do I need a new gauge cluster? Because I can’t do what you did to fix the needle. as for your window be in stuck is an easy fix anytime you disconnect,the battery, you have to reset the windows, and all you do is turn it to the on position and whatever windows not working hold it down five seconds and try rolling back up it should work again

I have an 03 and some of the LEDs were burnt out and dim around the speedometer I got a 08 speedometer from a wrecking yard for $150. I took all the SMD LEDS off the board and put them on my speedometer works great, I could have swapped the speedometer but I don't know how to transfer the mileage.

hey, sometimes the windows regulator switch fail in the door that doesnt work, just may need to the check the switch in the door that has the problem. you can swap them for a moment and try again.

I tried swapping the window switches on the rear doors and it still didn't work. Quite disappointing!
