      For real tho 😂 my mom had a GX 470 when I was a kit for 370,000 mi & sold it only after the air suspension took a shit on her. It took me to soccer practice 9x per week & literally the only reason she sold it was the air suspension issues. If not, she’s still he driving it. Currently, it’s being wheeled hard somewhere in Cambodia 🇰🇭

    Dude...... Your giving away one of the best kept secrets! I freaking LOVE my GX470. I've had 3rd, 4th and 5th gen 4Runners. Each has its pluses over the others, but my all around favorite was the 4th gen. Now I have a GX470 and it is hands down the best! From the huge windows, to the side open hatch. Its checked all my boxes. Picked my 2003 up with 117k miles this year.

    I wasn't looking for a GX but was desperate after searching through dozens of used cars. I'm a former 98 SR5 guy and wanted something close but newer. Found an 03 GX470 with a stack of maintenance and repair logs from the dealer, 2 owners never wrecked. Oil stick looked new but was original. Trans was clean and beautiful. Runs like a scalded dog. Frame is black and clean. Air lift bags, diff lock works perfect. I feel I was gifted from the heavens. Thankyou! It's like 4 wheeling in a Rolls Royce. Camping inside is comfortable. Thanks to youtube and guys like you, I can manage repairs myself in most cases.

    I bought my 2005 GX with 190k miles for $4300 at wholesale, had every malfunction indicator light on, low power couldnt even get up to 60mph. Turned out to be a bad secondary air injection pump and i fixed it for $200, as well as leaky air bags, which doesnt matter as i was going to do a coil conversion anyways. Absolutely love it and sold my Jeep TJ because of it.

      Congrats on your purchase. I have an 09 GX! Runs like a beast. I was considering on customizing mine too. I just recently replaced my time belt and chain. (Kit). It cost me a $1000. But that’s normal because you have to change that every 60-90k miles. I just serviced all catalytic converters and that was a pain. It cost $4k with labor. In terms of customizing, why’d don’t you start off changing all the suspensions to a stage 3 kit. Buy a pair of nice rims from “fuel” along with off road tires. Change the running boards into a more aggressive black steel boards. Swap the old cold air intake into a stage 2 air intake for better hp and torque ($400). If you really have the money, get a brand new off road front steel bumper and rear off road bumper. I’ve seen custom bumpers where you can hang an extra pair of tires and store 2 fuel gallons which makes it more aggressive. Swap the old exhaust into a better one where you have better sound when you turn it on. I just purchased a Tesla navigation system and took off completely the old factory radio and gps. It cost me $500 but it’s a good investment. The A/C, heater, gps, radio, Bluetooth, etc comes all digitally. If your on a budget, 1.) tint the windows 30% all over, 2.) Install sun guards on the doors and sunroof, 3.) swap off the hood struts because their known to go bad. These are easy cheesy. If you need advice, let me know on what to recommend. I am starting this project too. It’ll be fun. VROOM VROOM#TeamLexusMafia#🔥👌🏼🖤

      My story is similar. I had an RX 300 in the Jeep Wrangler TJ. I loved how fun the TJ was but loved how comfortable the RX was. I never had to wonder if it was going to start. Now, we can go off roading and camping in our Lexus while the kids can watch a video in their leather seats. 😂

    Thanks for providing content on the GX470! It is little challenging to find specific information on this vehicle. The one challenge is what kind of octane do you use to fill up your vehicle? I've read some people use premium and other regular. I can see somewhat of a justification for better gas mileage and less carbon buildup in the engine, but does it really matter for this vehicle?
    Again, thanks for providing a video series on this vehicle and your experience with it! Can't wait for more content in the future!

    Yes!!! I picked up my GX470 after taking a family trip and realized that my wife’s 2017 Honda Civic was not going to cut it. So I started looking for a great used family trip/over landing vehicle. Looked at 3gen 4Runner, but my Toyota tech friend recommended the 4gen. Looking for a 4gens I stumbled upon the GX. Found one in Cali for $12,000 pick it up and drove it back to Nevada and enjoyed the whole trip back. I caught the over landing bug, and I’m already planning to pick a 2013 LX570 if we ever decide to grow our family.
