Vlog 94 - SEMA 2024 Recap (Toyota LC250 ROX)
SEMA 2024 is in the books! What an incredible show this year and so excited to do an Awesomoto product reveal. The Toyota booth was top notch this year and feature the Land Cruiser ROX edition and the 4Runner TRDSurf edition vehicles. Since SEMA, there is rumor that the ROX Land Cruiser could be a production vehicle since they received an outstanding response from the public. The overland culture at SEMA continues to grow and it makes me excited to see the growth. I'll continue to bush the Awesomoto brand and will bring something even more special to SEMA next year!

Mine had a leak on that area, should I he worried about? How should I know if my transfer case is broken?
Great info. Just bought a GX you have been a great source of info. Thanks
I just found your video looking up snorkel reviews for a Subaru of all things. Thinking of adapting the one you have for a baja. Good video!! Also a Florida man. Love it.
Awesome
12:18 You know what brand of bumper that is?
A couple people have asked me the same question. It’s one of the more unique bumpers I’ve seen for the GX470 and I struggled to find any markings of the manufacturer on it. It’s probably worth messaging him on Instagram. I reply if I can find out who makes it.
Yeah, toyota definately had the best showcase. Great recap!
I agree. Toyota just gets it. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Wassup, how are still liking the phoenix?
First riced out gx lol
Any wind noise?
Checking in to get an update on the Phoenix Automotive Head Unit Install. I know it been several years. Do you still recommend it.
Super clean car man, just picked a 04 up today, meticulously maintained and 1 owner, gonna have some fun with it
I have the Foxwell NT510 code reader and it does let me know its the left rear sensor. How's the ATE part holding up a year later?
finally!!
Right?! There are more products in the works too!
congrats
Thank you! 🙏🏻
So rad!!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
hype dude!
🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for putting this out! Second job youve saved me trouble on.
Thank you for the feedback! It’s great knowing these videos help others!
I went with the YotaMD case and it’s fantastic
I almost went YotaMD. Maybe I’ll get one for my spare key.
I had to get the same Amazon key fob cover replacement, not the best quality but haven’t broke yet. 40$ for a single fob cover is crazy, I would want 2 covers, ajt needs to do better. I do recommend your Molle grate. I got mine in the first run and love it. All kinds of storage uses and very sturdy mounted to the plastic back door. I have a bag that holds my car battery charger and other items attached.
Hey Chris! I agree, the Amazon ones work well for the price point. Wow, I can’t thank you enough for supporting the brand and purchasing a molle panel! 🙏🏻 I’ve been having fun mounting different accessories to the panel.
What a great video, thank you! Sorry if I missed this in the video itself or in the comments, but will this mod work with standard OEM size tires and rims, or does it require a rim upgrade?
Thank you! I appreciate that! 🙏🏻 Great news! These work with the factory wheel setup. Even though I have aftermarket wheels they are still 17” like the factory configuration.
@@Awesomoto That's fantastic, thank you for the confirmation. I'm going for it!
We need gx video😢
I agree!
I was going to buy this a while ago, but I decided to get a remote start system, and that one has its own fob for the doors. Great vid though!
@@GD3tyrone Remote start sounds nice!! How do you like it?
@Awesomoto I love it. Specially for WA winters.
Very cool little recognizable upgrade
@@bachmannate Right? Such a nice little upgrade.
When the OEM case cracks and you just have the post left the key will not work. The electronics within the key (I guess) communicate with the ignition computer and will not let it actually crank the truck. BTDT. This looks very sturdy and like it won’t fail for years.
@@elizabethjudy6340 Yes, you need the electronics so it can authenticate. I agree, very sturdy design and should last a long time.
You can rub the chip on the dash and it will start, obviously this is a nicer solution
Do you think it would work with a door mounted (like the ACC Becky) or swing-out tire carrier (JW off-road)? Trying to plan ahead
You chose not to use the weather stripping.
nice.. good luck with the project. your air pod filter is messing up with your air to fuel ratio.
I’m late but I really like this video! So…I reached out to Goliath hoping to get the bumper YOU excited me to BUY!! I really want a center guard and headlight hoops! After digging around online. I found a guy, Maciek Michalecki, that has the ABSOLUTE MOST SICK bumper I’d seen😱😱😱 I was IMMEDIATELY ready to pull the trigger and possibly even drive down from Lake Junaluska, NC! After the generated response from my request…it’s been crickets from them… I was so STOKED to see that protection but I guess I’ll have to go a different direction because those guys at Goliath ghosted me. Glad you had a good experience, bumper looks Great! Thanks for all your GX content
Glad you have had good experiences with those splice connectors, I have not! They are almost outlawed with anyone I know, but the rear tail lamps have actual solder tabs at the back for adding wiring without harming the original loom. I know its solder but its handy enough, food for thought, love your content, keep it up
Hello. I parked at home after a day of errands. Grabbed a snack. Then 20 minutes later was going to go again. Nope. 2004 gx470. Started, sounded fine. But wouldn't go into drive or reverse. Just sat thete. No movemment even when pushing the gas, got plenty of vvrrrm, vvvrrm. But wouldn't pop into gear. I did hear some grinding when I put it back in park. Its at the shop now. Towed. I'm on a very small budget. Does this sound like a possible easy repair? **FYI... I have a small brake fluid leak. Not sure if that's related. ***Also a fairly substantial (I"m assuming) transmission fluid leak over the last few months on the ground where I park my car. I assumed it was brake fluid initially. But now think its transmission related. Any ideas on the possible problems? And costs? Thank you in advance. Also, I am the only owner. Drove it off the lot 20 years ago.
I put 33s on my 470 and the braking has been extremely sketchy ever since probably gonna do this.
Hi, I have the problem everting it’s work but don’t have sound 😰😰
I purchased an 04 GX and it seems the owner I purchased it from followed this channel pretty extensively. It has the phoenix automotive head unit and the seat covers. The speakers are done as well but for some reason the speakers in the back and sub don’t work the front speakers are super quiet and crackling. Upon looking at the amp after checking fuses (they were fine) I found a radio speaker running from the amp towards the back of the vehicle. I’m wondering if there was an attempt to wire the sub into the amp directly and if it was not wired properly that it would cause these seemingly brand new speakers to not work or be quiet. The other thought the amp half blown or something. (Yes I messed with the eq and balance and nothing changes other tone and shape of the front speakers)
0:22 bush whacked 🌱 🥊
Can that head unit compatible do 360/panorama virtual camera view? ...I've seen the same unit advertised around and some places suggest that it is (needs four cameras installing).
Hi! Do you have any problem with the OEM ML amplifier with skar rear subwoofer and 4-door speaker you replaced? Thank you!
Hey there! No issues, they are still holding up great after several years. I should note that these aren’t a big upgrade to the sound and are more of a replacement for those looking to replace the old speakers. In the future (probably early next year) I plan to take out all the speakers and the ML amp to replace everything with a 4 ohm setup for a big upgrade in the sound. If you are just looking for replacement speakers, I still recommend the setup I did in those videos.
@@Awesomoto Really appreciated the response. Also, do you have any experience with a secondary air injection system? I do some research and OEM parts will cost around $600-$700 and aftermarket will cost #300-$400 less. I picked up the 2007 Gx470 for cheap yesterday because the secondary air pump needs to be replaced to pass the smog check. Thank you!
@@baone6273 Of course! Glad you reached out. I personally don’t have experience with replacing that yet, but something tells me it might be inevitable as I’ve heard others with the same issue. I’m in Florida, so I’d probably not replace it immediately. From what I’ve read it doesn’t impact drivability, but is an issue for emissions. I know it’s a little more for OEM, but generally I go that route. Let me know if you plan to tackle the job yourself and if you need a second opinion on approach to replacing.
Hi, question I do have 06 GX470 with 93k , but never been charged transmission fluid, do change it now or it’s to late?
It’s never too late. I’d do just a drain and fill, but make sure to use genuine Toyota transmission fluid. It’s the best you can put in this transmission.
@@Awesomoto thank you, I finally finished the drain and fill, and I will redo it again after 6 months or 30k miles and keep doing this 4 times
Lexus and yamaha, best of both worlds👊🏻
I couldn’t agree more! 🤘🏼
Has this gone up in price since you did it? I also don't see the core refund noted on the summit website 😥
Hey Krunckap, there’s a chance the price went up since the video. Try adding the items to your cart and it should show an itemized breakdown with a core charge and reimbursement details for sending the old cores in.
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?
Thanks you! Great question, I’m not sure if it would help or hurt mpg. I’m assuming there may be a slight HP increase not restricting the exhaust flow, but I assume both mpg and hp changes are negligible…maybe?
Wil this work for i3?
There’s a chance! I’m not familiar with them, but I wouldn’t put it past them to use the same sensor on all models. For the price, it’s worth a shot.
Clicking sound when I press on brakes bmw x5 2014
Hmmm, that’s odd. Are you getting the same drivetrain error? If not, I’d say it’s likely something else. Sometimes a rock can get wedge between the brake dust shield and the rotor and can cause a strange noise. That’s easy enough to check/fix at home without going to the dealer.
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.
