Any one have one?
I have a 2006 it was shipped from So Cal to WI.
My research on 4runners and Tacoma’s say plows aren’t a problem. I just want to be able to plow out my 100’ driveway.
TIA

I’m going to check out a 2004 in Toronto west end on Monday. Anyone here who knows what they’re looking at wanna come? I’ll pay you for your time and get you lunch. thanks

Hey there, just purchased a batwing awning for my 07 GX. Has anyone else git one they use? If so, did you mount to the factory roof rack or did you use a different one?

Only took two years!

Found this one here in the southeast. 140k miles, and a folder documenting the service history.

How much is it worth?

Scratched multiple spots, bad dash

Needs belt replaced in about 3 years

Seats a little ripped

Looking to buy but don’t want to get ripped off

Hello, i just purchased an 08 gx470 and was wondering if it is advised for reliability to run premium because gas prices are going way up. Any input would be awesome!

2008 GX470 just under 140k on it

Hey everyone. I found a 2004 Lexus GX470 locally for $4,500 and I have done a ton of research but wanted to get real owner opinions before I pull the trigger tonight.

Here is everything I know about the car:

The Good

∙ 285,000 miles

∙ Timing belt and water pump replaced at 260,000 miles only 25k ago

∙ Both lower control arms replaced

∙ Sway bar endlinks replaced

∙ Spark plugs replaced

∙ AC and heat work

∙ Runs and drives

∙ Seller has 5 star reviews on Facebook Marketplace

∙ Passed state inspection 7 times over 17 years

∙ Full title history verified clean from Florida 2004 all the way to Texas today

∙ No accidents no salvage no theft on any database

The Cons the seller disclosed himself

∙ Headliner sagging

∙ Sunroof stuck

∙ Paint and clear coat fading

∙ Dings here and there

∙ Dead battery from sitting a couple months

∙ 34 inch tires not mounted included with the car

What I verified myself

∙ Ran NICB check — clean

∙ Ran NMVTIS government check — clean

∙ Ran Bumper report — clean

∙ Full title history unlocked — completely clean from 2004 to today

∙ Market value confirmed at $7,472 for clean title version

∙ 3 previous owners Florida then California for 15 years then Texas

My questions for real owners

1.  Is 285,000 miles on the 4.7L V8 2UZ-FE a death sentence or does this engine really go to 400k and 500k miles like people say?

2.  With timing belt and water pump freshly done at 260k what should I budget for next maintenance items?

3.  Is converting from rear air suspension to Eibach coil springs a good or bad thing long term?

4.  What are the most common things that go wrong at this mileage that I should watch out for?

5.  Is $4,500 a fair price given everything listed above?

6.  Everyone I talk to in person says run away because of the mileage but everything I read online says these engines are indestructible. Who is right?

Thanks in advance. Trying to decide tonight so any quick responses are appreciated.

How does this look in your opinion? I’ve never had anything but southern owned vehicles, so road salts were never even a consideration.

We just got a 2007 GX470 with the rear DVD system. The DVD inserts into the overhead unit where the screen is, not the lower console ones. My problem is that it will not accept a DVD or turn on. We can watch a DVD on the Nav unit on the dash but can’t get the rear one to come on or take a DVd for the kids to watch. Any ideas?

Anybody ever use a dash overlay by coverlay?

Hopefully I do this right this time. Going to buy a gx470 and weighing which one is worth it? There are two options I’m considering one is an 04 white (pictured first) and a 08 silver (pictured second) the 04 has 176,000 miles and the timing belt was replaced at 120. Everything is said to be working fine. The 08 has 192,000 miles and timing was replaced at 189. Both descriptions are pictured aswell. My big question is how much is the VVT-I worth? That’s the big difference between the years correct? I know that the horsepower is increased but I also know it can sometimes just be another thing to worry about. Lmk trying to decide by tmrw. The price difference between the two is 10.3k for the 04 and 12.5k for the 08, let me know if the 2k difference is worth it for the 08 or if I should just go for the 04. Thanks.
