I own 2….After diagnostic on 2003 GX470 304,000 miles I did new battery, tires, rims, back door handle, brakes, and that’s it…it has a couple small leaks but running strong.

My white 2003 GX has 340K and still going strong…minus a couple small leaks from hoses

I just bought an 06 black also. I’m already looking at every video I can find to get some ideas

Nice. We bought our 08 GX470 in 2010 that now has 180,000 miles. We replaced the air bags earlier this year with the Arnott bags from Rock Auto. We also replaced the headlights with new OEM lights. Best vehicle we’ve ever owned as it looks and drives like new (Nufinish wax at least yearly). Use quality synthetic oil and quality filters plus timing belt changes every 100k and it will last to 300,000 plus miles. Don’t forget the front-rear diff and x-fer case gear oil change also. Best SUV ever made.

I'm really looking forward to these episodes. We have a 2008 GX470, and I debate whether to do it myself or send it off to the mechanic. I enjoy how thorough you are in the projects and how well you explain it. Thanks again!

New subscriber :). I just bought a 2003 gx470 with 300k miles, timing belt was done at 290k. It looks good but the inside need some love, but not to bad, air susp is working great, no engine leaks. So far, I have two items I need to fix, the abs/vcs off code ( it looks like is just a speed sensor in one of the wheelwells) and one of the airvent actuator is stuck and needs replacement. Other than that, pretty solid

Passed by a heavily modified GX on the trail yesterday. Looks really good with wheel spacers and a steel bumper. Kind of a quirky design but very unique those GXs are. Best of all, it’s still a land cruiser underneath so you know it’s rugged and reliable (once you remove those airbags 😂)

I bought my '08 just a few months before yours. At

Since you’re upgrading your front rotors, i recommend doing the gx460 brake caliper kit. Gx460 brakes are a wider rotor and caliper is bigger. Bolts right on .I did it to mine and feels way better.

great vehicle for this kind of series. can’t wait for the rest of it.

Hello. I live in Russia. great car. Lexus is my dream. but unfortunately I can't afford it. Our used car costs about $25,000. it is very expensive. I work in the oil industry and my salary is about $1000 a month. On average, salaries in Russia are about 400 dollars. For us, such a car is a luxury. Thank you for the excellent review of an excellent car.

Always loved this gen. More Ducati vids, please!

Really look forward to this new series even though I don't have any skin in the game. Just so interesting to see how things are put together and problems solved (or not) across manufacturers. A big fan of the bike videos too. I still maintain you should have many times more subs... Thanks for all your hard work. Glad the Audi found a good home. How could it not?

Just got my 04! Great video 🎉

my 2006 has 227,000 odometer mini-overhaul on engine $3800, new Strut-master suspension $1700, new headlamps $360, rear upgrades slotted rotors & pads $318 and $800 fluid replacement on all 4 wheel drive/tranny components. $10,300 paid Dec 2022 (218,000))

I have a 2006 with 262000 miles and made a mistake replacing the rear air bags. When a front strut started leaking my mechanic replaced them with after market shocks and disconnected the electrical component. Now the air bags in the rear have overinflated and I'm looking possibly replacing the new bags with coils and new shocks. I should have been more informed before replacing the bags in the first place. Other than that, extremely reliable. The interior is still in excellent condition, too.

Awesome video. Subbed for sure!! Thanks for this helpful tutorial

IIRC, the 2UZ had a bigger displacement but uses a cast iron block but the 1 and 3UZ use aluminum blocks. They aren't essentially the same engine.

Mine is sitting at 244K. I replaced my air bags And that was not that big of a deal. I prefer the air suspension. Replacing the transmission fluid is debatable. I see more guys saying don't do it at that kind of mileage and thus far I have elected to leave it alone. If I did service it, I would just replace the filter and put in enough new fluid to get back to full. I would never try to flush it.

What a strange surprise! 😮
