    Never ever shorten the videos!!! I love the length and it’s very therapeutic to have a slower paced video, plus easier for diy mechanics to follow along. M539 productions and a whole host of other channels do long videos on a single repair just like this and I’ve never disliked a single one

    Hello AMD, I do not own a GX, but please do not cut parts out of the video even if other suggest. I appriciate the multi video approach to documenting a job. For us diyers, there is nothing like learning and hearing every step from a MDT like yourself. No one online goes into the depth of knowledge on video like you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all, you truly can't put a price on knowledge and experience.

I'd love to get my hands on the repair manuals for my 4Runner, but it appears that only certified auto mechanics can do that. I've changed the oil a few times, but that is it so far. I'll keep watching your videos and learning. Thank you!

    Jealous of that paint color. To me, it doesn't matter if the content is put into a single 2 hour long continuous video or split into multiple videos because the length of the content is the same. The pause button exists for those who can't watch it all in one sitting 😉 Whatever format is easiest for you and your team is best.

    Those wood side panels - always pull straight back parallel with the floor of the vehicle. It's tempting to pull up in the direction the vents face and if you do that you'll break a clip. The good news is that plastic takes the gel-style superglue quite well so it's not hard to glue them back on. They're still available through the parts system ($1700 each) but you can't really replace just one - you have to replace the entire set or the wood grain won't match. Which to be honest - on a 20 year old vehicle, an owner isn't going to pay that.

    Dash components used to be provided with no colour - black was what I used to see - so it had to go to the body shop for painting. I speculated that maybe they would provide factory coloured ones but maybe when the top up the part supply they only get ones designed to be painted - or in the most common colour (I do not know).

    I was going to buy a older GX470 a couple years ago from an non-Toyota dealer and knew the dash had issues. This one was cracked. I called Toyota corporate based on some posts I saw online and they told me if I bought it they would have a local dealer replace the dash at no cost. Not sure if they are still doing that.

    As a Lexus, if you ever do remove and break the wood trim bezel surrounding the radio. You can order the same trim piece from a Toyota Prado. Lexus discontinued the wood trim bezel. Honestly the one from the Prado is better because it’s not a wood trim, I believe it’s silver.

    The way that dashboard was decaying is an embarrassment for a Lexus. I live in Texas, and my cars sit out in the sun when I am at work. One of my sons had a IS250 and the same thing; in fact there was a recall for the door panels that were basically rotting/melting. The video is great AMD, but let's not ignore the elephant in the room. Lexus did some shady manufacturing with the interior plastics.
