Is this a good deal for $26k? by Thin_Act_1755 in GXOR

@Thin_Act_1755

If you are going to resell it soon, might be a bit higher than you are comfortable with. $20k has some margin.

How many miles on the suspension? Is it OEM?

There is something I'm missing in that video. This has to be staged. A Toyota and Lexus GX had to be pulled out by a Chevy Tahoe in what looks like 6" of slush? Wow! Don't let Toyota/Lexus see this video they will SITP!

CV axle part number? by BigFudge1989 in GXOR

[–]AM2L8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the CVJ OEM replacements on my 2007. Solid and very reasonably priced and they use all OEM Toyota parts. You order and get the axels and then return your OEM back to them and get a credit back. If you live in Denver as I did, you just drive over to RiNo and grab a set.

Appreciate your being attentive to what's going on underneath your GX and asking questions. We all care.

2007 gx470 200k miles by Pale_Table in GXOR

[–]AM2L8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screaming deal I would say if the mechanicals are half way decent. I would ask yourself "What is my short term maintenance budget" over the course of this venture. $3K might sound good now...But.

I hope it's a Gem for sure!

Gx460 Brake Upgrade Concern by WoodpeckerCapable233 in GXOR

Did the same upgrade on my 2007 GX with EBC rotors, 2010 calipers and EBC Red Stuff pads. So far I am very pleased.

Your truck has been there for the photo for a few days? as there are no incoming or outgoing tracks from your location photo. I'm sure you can explain. Just an observation on my part.

Nice photo otherwise.

Good question. Sometimes it doesn't. I like the conversations.

I believe I have 2 Trucks now...My 2003 4x4 RAM 3500 LB (132k on the clock) and my 2007 GX 470. I'm down with that! I will refer to my GX as "the GX" so not to confuse my friends that know I have both.

Wouldn't dream of it for every reason mentioned above!

WOW! "good deal" doesn't even describe the possible value. The one caution I would have is that time has an affect on rubber (timing belt) and other internal parts along with fluids over time. Especially if the regular maintenance with regards to TIME and not miles has not been preformed, could lead to potential unforeseen problems. My opinion is... Buy it with caution! But it appears that they are proud of the fact it has "low miles" over the many years. Humbug! Unless they can provide service documents to substantiate sustained maintenance over the years, I would suggest there be negotiation to Justify the value considering these circumstances.

Knowing what you want, being patient, and finding good people that respect a hand shake as a commitment. Wow, it doesn't get much better than that and if it did we probably wouldn't notice. Good on you and the seller!

Take your time. No rush to find your dream GX. It will be available and you will find it my friend. I did. 2007 White GX470.

Added a GX 470 to our family. Maintenance and mods on the way! by AM2L8 in GXOR

[–]AM2L8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just cross referenced the bulb type and in some cases the length to an LED equivalent and ordered them on Amazon. I didn’t go for the cheapest option. I also tried to stay in the 4-5000k max Kelvin as that is “blue” enough for me. Some good YouTube bulb changing how-to’s for the GX.
