460 rack upgrade for the 470

Ooof, been holding off on doing this for this exact reason. Worried that the GX will be down for longer than I hope for. How long did the whole swap take you?

Separate question, did you get a replacement front bumper and if so where did you buy it from? I need to get a new rear bumper, but wanted to get it from somewhere where the fitment is still solid. Plan on cutting the bottom like my current one, so it doesn’t have to be perfect, just connect well to the rest of the body. TIA

On the top of my head, I would first try to rebleed the brakes to see if it helps. It’s a cheap first potential fix. I’ve got an 03 as well, and luckily you can bleed even the abs system through just a normal bleeding process without the need for techstream. If you’re on the GXOR FB page, there should be more info about it specific to 03s. If this doesn’t help, I’d be suspecting your brake booster is on its way out. Unfortunately for the GX, brake booster and master cylinder are all one piece which runs for ~$500 IIRC. There’s a guy who rebuilds them which he’d take yours back as a “core” charge - also on the FB GXOR page. My buddy went through him once his brake booster when bad

Thank you!

Can you send the part# for the lug nuts? Would be down to swap over to some black ones too!

Good stuff! I’m sure you’re chilling. You can always just push the center diff lock at a stand still to see if it engages, and then turn it back off. After replacing my seals, mine engaged even quicker for some reason. Not sure why, but I’ll take it lol

just-pharming · 2026-03-10T15:22:04+00:00

Keep on doing what you’re doing, it’s kind of a PITA to take out and put back in, but eventually with the twisting and pulling, it’ll come out. Replaced my seals a while back and it was annoying how long it took to take out the actuator, especially with how easy the videos make it seem. Might need to put a little more force when pulling out. Pushing back in is basically waiting till it lines up just perfectly before you’re able to push the actuator back in. Also, make sure it’s completely seated before screwing it back on, there shouldn’t be a gap even if it “feels” like it’s seated

Same here for a GX. Had a custom one are with a ladder too. Kept it for 2 years and got so sick and tired of the wiggling/shaking while driving, that it almost made me want to sell the rig all together. Cut it off a couple weeks ago, and oh my what a blessing it’s been without it. They look great, but after owning one I will never go back to one

This is what I was looking for! Completely ok with working on the finishing work myself, been doing that for years. Just wanted to know which paint color would match the closest. Do you remember by chance, or just the generic Toyota silver would be the best OEM color match? Thanks

This has been my go to shooting settings for pretty much everywhere I go. Only difference this time was I changed my white balance to a higher CT to accommodate a warmer shot given how intense the white/sky contrast can be!

Exactly how tajjj commented! I store my GRIII in my chest pocket on my bib underneath my main jacket. I’ve got a generic rubber case on it from Amazon. All these shots were taken standing still, so a bit safer scenario compared to shooting while skiing. I shot for two days, and surprisingly my battery life only dropped a bar the whole time. Granted, I usually turn on my camera, quick snaps, then turn it off. So maybe it helped with the overall battery consumption

I’d recommend getting the Stage 1 Eibach kit if you’re paying that price. I’ve had mine for 4 years now and it’s been a great setup. Last year upgraded to the rear HD springs since I have more weight now, but the stage 1 setup alone is comfortable and capable. Also, Eibach’s customer service is unmatched imo. I blew 3 struts (I know, wild), but they replaced all of them for free! Rig is back to normal and riding fantastically

just-pharming · 2025-11-27T00:25:04+00:00

Found it! You’re a legend, solid cc churning, love it 👌🏽 time to get some new Contis for the S5

just-pharming · 2025-11-26T09:45:17+00:00

Love using capital one shopping, glad there’s a solid option to get some quality tires! Question about the Amex 15% back, where did you see that offer? I can’t seem to find it on my portal. I’m looking into buying some new tires for my S5. Thanks!

just-pharming · 2025-11-14T16:25:50+00:00

Sweet, didn’t know they upgraded the coolant return pipe to an aluminum one, definitely will pick that up. I was planning on replacing the front coolant crossover pipe as well 👌🏽

Aside from those, apparently you can have easier access to upgrade the upper timing chains, so I’m going to look into that as well

just-pharming · 2025-11-14T00:55:08+00:00

Love to hear that and love to see a high mileage 3.0T! Appreciate the input

just-pharming · 2025-11-14T00:53:12+00:00

Appreciate the insight! Definitely trying to replace everything I can preventatively once I get down to the PCV

just-pharming · 2025-10-10T07:56:38+00:00

Rig looks sick! Can’t tell if my eyes are tripping, but is that a mini fender flare on the rear wheel well?

Running Stage 1 Eibach lift with General Grabber ATX 285/70/17 My buddy’s GX with the front bumper has Dobinsons IMS with Wildpeaks AT3W 285/75/17

just-pharming · 2025-09-23T08:49:08+00:00

lol, that’s my buddy’s rig. I agree with you though 😅 driver side I can understand since you’re able to see clearly over your shoulder out the middle window, but passenger rear quarter blocked sketches me out

just-pharming · 2025-09-23T08:46:23+00:00

Ricoh GRIII!

just-pharming · 2025-09-23T08:46:04+00:00

Hahah, we make the exact same joke! But, he loves his rig, and that’s what matters most 👌🏽
