Vlog 91 - Motorcycle Hitch Carrier (Lexus GX470)
Way underestimated how much I would like this motorcycle carrier. It makes hauling motorcycles and dirt bikes a breeze and much easier than dealing with a trailer. The best part is you can take your vehicle light offroading with this mounted to your vehicle. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence for buying one of these carriers. Let me know if you have any questions I did not answer in the comment section below.

Where's the pin? Just tightening the two bolts isn't enough, it needs the pin.
LOL good catch. I was so focused on showing the plate that I had forgot to put the pin in first. So off camera I had to take it back apart to put the pin in. 😂
Are you still happy with your tune? Does your gx perform better... how about mpg?
Absolutely still happy! It drives much smoother now and a 2mpg increase.
@@Awesomoto sounds good. Might have to get one.
Do you have a link to order this type of tune?
@@jasonmears4393 I got this tune in person in the video. I believe you send your ECU to him and then he ships it back tuned.
@@Awesomoto ok, thanks.
Any update on how well this head unit held up after 3 years? Curious on the longevity
Good question! It’s still holding up great and there are a few quirky things with the button styles that I wish were different, but it’s still performing well all these years. There is a guy on Facebook who makes a software upgrade for these to make the user interface a little nicer so I think I’m going to give that a try. I’ll certainly make a video when I get that software.
Awesome! Thanks for the update. Instills confidence in me purchasing this unit down the road. Side note i am new to your channel and you earned yourself a subscriber! 👍
Welcome to the channel!! I greatly appreciate you subscribing to the channel. 🙏🏻
Lets see more bike content. 2 wheel fun!
Heck yeah!! 🤘🏼🥳
Thanks for the video. Do you know if the unit has wireless Android Auto?
@@aarondavis1096 Of course! Thank you for reaching out. That I’m haven’t tested, but I believe it supports both CarPlay and Android Auto.
That was sweet, would love to do this. I wonder if this will cause a mpg hit?
Wil this work for i3?
Clicking sound when I press on brakes bmw x5 2014
Great video, considering I'll be installing my new driveshafts tomorrow, so it's great seeing a preview. I'm wondering what would be the downside if you only made one mark with the paint pen, instead of three? As a matter of fact, what would be the downside of no marks, considering the universal joints are already installed on the driveshaft. Of course if you pull the driveshaft apart, it should be in the same position on the spline as when you took it apart, when you put it back together.
I'm a little late to the party, 3 years later and still enjoying this video. I will be doing this to my 2006. Subscribed.
Hi, great info video:) I just find it. I have problem with my bmw x3 xdrive and DSC controll lamp. question; is it the same system on a x drive system with the sensors?
Hey man love your videos. I was wondering how your Tesla screen was holding up. I’ve wanted to put one in mine for a while, but the amount of mix reviews online had me worried. Do you think I should make the switch? I have the Nav version of a 2003.
Dude this sounds amazing! I’ll be begging to ride this when I’m down next. Great install vlog
I can’t wait for you to take a rip on the bike when it’s done!
It’s looking so sick!
Thank you! Can’t wait to complete this build and show the vision!
I just purchased a LX470 yesterday, already had the vinyl on order and independently chose the same exact one from the same company lol I found this video researching how to remove the door panel trim pieces.
That's awesome! I'm biased, but I think you made a solid vinyl color/pattern choice. Congrats on the LX470 purchase!!
@@Awesomoto thank you, meant to say gx470 lol
Nice! Can you also post how to replace roof mounted rear screen monitor on the GX470?
Unfortunately, I dont have the rear screen monitor. 😢
I set up the sound system just like you did, but I'm hearing a popping sound, and the music keeps cutting out for a few seconds before continuing. Any idea what might be causing this?
Just wanted THANK YOU for all the GX470 videos you took the time to make and post. I have used many of your videos for work on my GX470. I'm guessing you do this as A Business, if so where are you located? I have A couple things I want to get done to my 2005 and would like to thank you for all that you have shared to everyone by giving you the work or business. Also from watching your videos I very much trust you know what you are doing. Please let me know and I will let you know what I am looking to get done to the GX470. Thanks
Which tune did you end up getting?
I’ve watched both of your videos on the window trim. Since Garage Alpha does not sell the entire set, would you recommend spending the $180 for a full OEM set from eBay??
Love your channel about the GX 470! In the future, if you have any questions about what to use for polishing or stuff like that, I recommend you look up project farms channel.😊
Put a rubber vacuum cap on the brake line. Save yourself bleed time
I couldn’t stop watching this! Super informative. Great work!
dose this have a backup camera or the ability to add one later?
Hi. Did you apply a primer or not? How does it hold up? What did you clean it with before painting? Thanks!
Did the LASFIT two years ago as well and have been perfect! Also the motorcycle NiLlight light mounts inside the fog light housing! I think that was Hawkeye Garage but brilliant and perfect! Thanks for all the great mod tips!
My M4 has a valve cover leaks right now. Got it diagnosed from BMW and they wanted to charge me $4900 parts+labor. Insanity. I unfortunately do not have a place to fix it myself nor am I confident in my mechanical ability. hoping to find a shop that will do it for at least half that -_-
what was your mileage at the time of doing valve cover replacement? Thank you!
100k on mine. Just went out this week, reason I'm here watching as well.
Shit on supra ! Lols mines off and on
Awesome mod man! I want to ask though, the black bulb where the wire attaches too that hangs down. Would that configuration work with a skid plate? I’m wondering how that would be when off-roading too.. regarding its vulnerability hanging lower like that. Thanks!
Great question and it's a concern of mine that I'll be keeping an eye on. I'm planning to do rock sliders and skid plates this fall so I'll probably revisit the exhaust valve when I do those videos. For now it's been out of the way and havent had issues on trails yet. I'm mostly in mud and water down here in Florida, so not as much rocky terrain.
Question? Does the screen work for back up camera ? Or is there another installation required ?
Great question! Unfortunately, it doesnt work as the voltages are different levels for the screen vs. OEM camera. I did a video on installing an after market camera to the head unit and it works great.
What was your process on deciding to do the premium fuel tune vs regular?
Premium fuel burns slower and in general cleaner. The main reason is that Phil recommended the premium tune as it is a more noticeable difference in performance.
Dyno numbers by chance?
These tunes is not mainly a performance tune. It is more to better drivability when adding weight and bigger tires. Just because a company has a dyno sheet means anything. If I hit performance headers I def would run a dyno with the tune and that when it really matters
I wish I knew a shop local to have gotten before dyno numbers, but I could do an after…not sure how much value it has if we don’t have the before to compare. I guess if someone else has stock numbers we could roughly compare.
how much does his tunes go for? Im debating on doing this too
nvm, didnt get to the part where you said the price lol
Great question! I paid $425 at the event for the tune.
I just got this issue since changing my TMIC to an aftermarket as my stock was leaking! I checked and mine still has massive vacuum pressure whereas others have said they have no/positive pressure. Would this still be from the PCV?
The way to check is to take off the oil fill cover and see if it goes away.
Planning on installing my spoiler this weekend. How has the flex glue held up for you over the years?
It’s held up incredibly! No leaks and it’s rock solid.
Did you ever figure out an option to angle the lights mounted to the roof rack down more?
Yes! I actually created my own brackets that I sell online now. Vlog 69 at 14:00 shows the difference in the lighting with and without the Awesomoto brackets.
How noisy are those tires ?
Very quiet! If you look up performance reviews, they are rated one of the quietest all terrain tires.
full skids but no sliders ...help me understand
We’ll get some sliders on there soon for him. I too need to get some. What sliders are you rocking on your rig and would you recommend them?
Hello, I think I have a problem with the abs modules, no errors or lights come on, the symptom is and when I turn on the windshield above 120kmh it stops, losing around 20kmh, could it really be the abs module? When I deactivate drybranking through coding it doesn't help me but I feel the car is a little stuck at the speed level, thanks for the answer, hugs from Portugal
Hey Tiago! Your symptoms sound like they are different from what I encountered, so I would say it's something else causing your issue. Have you resolved it yet?
@@Awesomoto Hello, yes friend, after a lot of research and no errors after updating the software on the whole car it remained the same, I remembered doing the test in progress with the ABS module turned off and it generated errors but none of what was expected I risked buying the abs module, I programmed it, it was resolved And that's when the errors generated, they were all resolved after 1 month 😅
@@tiagoalmeida2714That’s great! So it sounds like the abs was the problem all along?
@@Awesomoto yes and I thought it was the software or the reprogramming but in the end it was the module and nothing was wrong, only when it reached speeds above 100kmh the windshield wiper blades turned on, the car lost speed by 20kmh and it didn't warn the brakes on the rear light apparently and I called the I still deactivated draybraking but the car seemed to be stuck while moving, but it was really the module, thankfully the headache has gone away and even though I would brake on a descent and the car would stay stuck for 3 seconds and then move
Were you able to wire it without the control box? @15:25
It’s still on the list of todos lol. It’s just a little low on the priorities since it’s been working well with the controller for now.
yo I want the oil fill cap with the Castrol logo lmao. didn't know that existed.
lol!! I thought it was on all F8X chassis, but maybe not.
Did you put any sealent in the spacers so water doesnt leak from your roof? I see in the PDF in their page they have ome sealent in them, but it doesn't say to put any.
Yes, I added a clear silicone sealant. I didn’t do it at first and then read it months later in their instructions. I didn’t encounter any leaks without it over those few months, but it’s just a good safe measure to do
How awesome is that build, love the personal touches. Can't wait to add more mods to mine.
Right?! It’s definitely the most personalized GX470 I’ve seen.
I have the carven exhaust and it sounds just like this
That’s awesome! I’m glad it sounds similar.
Me too, I agree!! I have the DT headers and Y-pipe to install yet.. but I think w/ the carven it’s going to be way too loud. Maybe paired with this set up back to the stock muffler may be the move
I’m literally getting MBD tune on Friday, so hype
Heck yeah!! I’m getting tuned today and can’t wait!

I' at 10:15 sec, that's a lot of tire to shove in that wheel well. I want to do something similar with stock height. I did put Bilstein 5100 shocks and Metal Tech coils on the rear. Keeping front struts because prior owner just replaced them.
I’m shocked they got with stock suspension, but so happy it worked out!
