Lol broke it on the first trail first trip out. These guys off roading skills are on par with a 16 year old kid taking his dads truck out to a trail for the first time ever.
But they have 300$ traction pads! These "overland" guys are ridiculous. See tons of 4runners with those stupid $400 side mounts for the rear side windows. One guy had a single flare mounted to his. Just silly.
I'm picking up an 05 soon! I had happened to pass it by a few days ago before Christmas and it caught my eye! Gonna go check it out and this is all making me want it more! Hell yeh
Wow those GX470s really do rock! We need more well built off-roaders like them built in future. Wish I owned one🙏. Oh wait….I do! An 05 c/w 105,000 miles. It rocks bigly, love it! Paid $18,000 last year to replace my smashed 2014 Durango. Ya insurance sucks bigly thx to Lefty Ontario government destroying our insurance industry.
Did you bent anything on the front, maybe a tie rod? I don’t think the power steering overheating could be the cause. Either way love the GX I got an 07 with 230k miles and just added a Dobinsons lift kit as well 👍
I just purchased a 06 with 216k miles for 9400. Needs some work on the cosmetics side but I love the power over the 2019 Tacoma I just sold. The Tacoma with E rated 32s was a dog, even with my speed manual.
I bought an 04 GX470 from a customer at work for 2000 it has 330000 miles and still going strong. You can replace your suspension switch with this from toyota. It is a little pocket. 03-09 GX470 CONSOLE BOX HOLE COVER 58839-60040. Mine is stock with 285s on factory rims
Tymon -Did you put this all-black steering wheel on this and if so, where did you get it? Similar ones on eBay don't look the same with the black leather and black wood.
When is the power steering video coming out? I have the same issue with my 04 GX. I came here to hear feedbacks on the dobinsons suspension kit, but seems like you guys ran into an issue that I also have….power steering not completely working correctly. Looking forward..thanks.
PLUS this one- your o4 has the BARN DOOR-- the 460s most all have the two part lift and drop gate-- which wear out quickly and get in the way-- and FALL on you after a bit.. :) 470 is must MUCH BETTER!!!! I have one coming soon- and am having lockers put in front and rear, and an additional gas tank installed where the spare sits to give me 56 gallons instead of 23- also body armor, red dog bumper- and hitch mounted spare carrier.. oh- and updating the computer.. oh- and I almost forgot-- ARB dual Aircompressor and full hose kit MOUNTED under the front hood.. :)
@@mistafivefivesix check on here-- there is a place in Arizona that installs and sets them up correctly-- they go in the wheel well where the spare would fit- and are protected that way- gives you 56 gallons instead of 23. I'll look around for the link.
Get a 10.6 Tesla Style Screen from Phoenix Auto out of California. Had mine a year and their support was good and have not had any issues since my first month tweaking. Makes it like a new car! I have a couple of vids on my page and also have a 2004 GX that has almost the same mileage yours does.
