Finally doing the highly discussed GX460 brake upgrade on the GX470. What a huge increase in braking performance and at such an affordable cost. I can't recommend this upgrade enough and it's something most can do and save yourself a ton of money! Let me know if you have any questions about the install or if I missed any details you need to complete your upgrade.

Appreciate you making these GX videos. My 470 gets lots of DIY love because of you!

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

You just made my day! Thank you so much for the kind words and it makes me so happy to hear feedback that people find these videos useful. Sometimes it feels like I'm just rambling to myself in the garage.

@theNiiicest 7 месяцев назад

i stumbled across your channel when i picked up my GX last month and have binged all your vids! keep up the great work man. looking forward to more awsome vids!

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for that feedback! It's awesome hearing these comments and knowing others find them useful. I'll keep making videos on the GX for awhile! I also have an awesome surprise for the community to announce in the next month or so 😎

@gps996 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so so much!!!! I've been wanting to do this for some time but had questions that you answered in this video. The GX looks great man!! Keep up the great work.

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

No, thank you for watching and supporting the channel! I'm glad to hear this covered all your questions and hopefully it gave you what you need to do it at home. I'll keep making videos as long as everyone keeps watching. It's been a blast being in the GX community...such great people on this platform.

@hccvad591 7 месяцев назад

Nice video install and what an awesome price you get there. I clicked on the link and the price just for the front brake kit and calipers is now $315, plus the $108 core charge. You got a great deal - must be a promotion of some sort.

@Awesomoto 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! It was a killer deal and I saw the price had changed. Keep an eye out on it. They run sales and prices fluctuate quite a bit.

@JeromyLukenbaugh 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! I have been thinking about doing this upgrade recently and also wanted to paint them all to match. Appreciate the detail in your video, it'll really help.

After watching this video, I decided to take on this project. I've tackled some DIY projects on my GX470 because of watching your awesome GX470 content! Thanks for creating fun and informative GX content that motivates me to get active, bro 🫡

@e60power1 6 месяцев назад

It's always great content with your videos. The only thing you have me wondering is, what if we could put the old fronts on the back??

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

That is a great idea!! I'm thinking the bolt alignment isnt exact, but a bracket might help adapt it. 🧐

@evanphillips6834 7 месяцев назад

Ugh watching how easy it was for you to remove all those bolts really makes me angry to live in the NE. Lol. Lots of envy no lie. Love the video, very informative. Watching the build slowly come together is amazing.

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Evan! It's been so much fun building this GX and slowly upgrading parts. It's very rewarding doing DIY work and saving money too. I used to live in PA, so I can sympathize with you on the rust issue as they salt the crap out of everything up there in winter.

@calebogden2161 6 месяцев назад

I just stumbled on your videos and watched your install of the aftermarket headunit. How has it been holding up and would you still recommend it?

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

It's holding up great and I still recommend it. The Apple CarPlay feature saves it for me and makes it worth it along with the large screen. The software user interface leaves a bit to be desired, but its the best option for the 470 in my opinion.

@87_North 3 месяца назад

Weird question but - If I upgrade the fronts first and not the rear at the same time (to save on intial costs) is there any issues with the fronts being a bigger braking system than the standard gx 470 rears..?

@Awesomoto 3 месяца назад

No there won't be any issues if you just do the fronts until you are ready to purchase the rear. You'll wear the pads in the front sooner, but not really an issues.

@nbtholl1 4 месяца назад

Don't forget to lubricate those rear slide pins. Gxs love to make the caliper pins stick.

@Awesomoto 4 месяца назад

Yes, great suggestion! That is the last thing you want after all this effort.

@deeperdadi5206 Месяц назад

Nice brake job on the GX470. Did you use the 14WA calipers or the 14WB? Do you know the difference?

@Awesomoto Месяц назад

I just looked up my order and I don’t see an indication of 14WA or 14WB. I’m not sure I know what the difference is. If you follow the links in the video description do you see any indication there?

@operatorlxix5839 15 дней назад

I know the 4th 4runner has brake issues with seizing but what's the issue with the GX?

@originevo8 6 месяцев назад

Are you using the 460 rotors or the 470? Someone else made an in-depth video between the two rotors where the 460 rotors are thicker for better cooling efficiency causing less brake fade. You didn’t indicate which rotors you were using.

@Awesomoto 5 месяцев назад

Great catch! Yes, also using the 460 rotors, but only on the fronts. The rear I stuck with 470 rotors because I hear they don't fit correctly and will wobble and give brake flutter.

@acorpse44 22 дня назад

Is there a reason other than overall project cost that you chose to refresh the rear brakes rather than replace them with the same 460 calipers as the front?

@kenalvarado8993 4 месяца назад

on the core charges how did u receive refunds on the front core when the items were the 470 not the 460 core items?

@Awesomoto 3 месяца назад

Sorry for the delay. They're not particular about the core returns. As long as you return the rotors, you will get the refund.

@fredcornelius9247 3 месяца назад

Does the new caliper use the old caliper bracket

@Awesomoto 3 месяца назад

Great question. Yes, its the old caliper bracket, which makes the install very easy.

@ferrariowner123 6 месяцев назад

First time anyone had said to leave the ignition on for bleeding the brakes. FUCK. Would explain why my front to rear bias has started to feel off.

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

Yeah that was something I wasnt expecting. Good thing is this bleeder kit makes life easy with bleeding them.

@Kingaliat305 2 месяца назад

Do you think the bigger calipers will clear 16 inch rim?

@Awesomoto Месяц назад

That I’m not entirely sure of. I think it would, but I’d want to measure to be sure.

@Kingaliat305 Месяц назад

Recent had my GX lifted and realized the current stock brakes are rubbing on the 16 lol. This will be something I keep in mind once I get bigger rims

@KGX470 6 месяцев назад

What year gx460 did you get the replace the fronts?

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

Great question. These are for 2010-2015 GX460s

@KGX470 6 месяцев назад

Advanced Auto parts had a glitch or something but the 460 rotors were like 80% off but didn’t get to order it. Smh

@lordlink1 6 месяцев назад

Dude 800 a month!!! If I drive conservatively it's 240 and I'm lifted with fat tires and RTT. I guess if i were taking trips every weekend it could get like that. I'm still looking for a gas saver though.

You gotta get a 2nd car. I got a lil VW Jetta I zip around in so I can keep my GX470. Well worth it 👍🏻

@Awesomoto 6 месяцев назад

Yeah if you have a long commute this can start to rack up the gas $$. I moved a few months back a little further from work and I noticed the increase in gas. Now that it's cooler here in FL I'll be riding my motorcycle to work.
