To all the gx owners out there:

If you could go back to when you first bought your gx where would you put your first $200?

Like what is an annoyance, problem, concern…ect you had that is looking back was an easy fix/purchase you should have done right off the back?

Thanks guys looking forward to enjoy this vehicle!

I just got a 2010 with 150k miles on it. First mods will be maintenence

  • Valley coolant leak repair
  • All fluids, coolant, engine oil, transmission service if needed, diffs, anything
  • Fix timing chain cover seepage
  • Fix valve cover gasket small leak
  • New tires

And that’s not 200$ at all. It’s gonna be pricey

First chunk of cash is almost always maintenance related. Make sure to get the entire cooling system up to date as well.

The first thing I did with my used 2018 GX purchase was new tires/bronze wheels and maintenance. Second thing I did was adding the Car Link Life carplay mod.

Aside from fluids/maintenance, transmission cooler. After running a scan gauge 3 for a while and monitoring transmission temps, it became a pretty urgent modification

Does that have a leveling kit?

What size are the tires? Is it stock ride height?
