I notice in your review you said you had to trim it. Can you explain where and how much was required?

Hey guys. I'm in the middle of doing my lift and trying to put the KDSS into service mode. I found an Ironman PDF that shows how to put the Prado into service mode, by turning the shutter valves out 1.5-2 full turns, but my 2005 GX470 looks nothing like the photos. Can anyone who has done a...

Hey robert. Do you have a part number for the 6112 shocks and coils? Is it the same shocks for the 4Runner? Bilstein doesn't list the gx470

Matches 130: You said 3" lift including the tires right? So how much lift without? Also, "Second stop on the shocks." does that mean you can increase for more lift? I'm looking for 2.5-3" suspension lift before tires. I have a 2005 with KDSS. I'm thinking I might need to add a top spacer.

That looks pretty cool. I do have Bluetooth in my GX, so I can use my phone to make calls, but I can't sync my phonebook or use it for music. I wonder if something like that would interfere with the existing Bluetooth capability, or if that even matters?

I don't mind the stereo in my 2005 with Nav and Mark Levinson system (whatever the hell that is), but I do wish I could get my iPhone audio hooked in. CD player is toast so all I have is FM radio. Blah.

I think this is because they remove the wheels, remove the tires, powder coat, then replace the tires, balance and install the wheels. I'll be getting new tires, so I should be able to save a bit if I pull the wheels off myself, and get the tires off at the tire shop, but then I have a vehicle...

LOL. I was just watching youtube videos on plasti-dipping the wheels. Seems like people like it on the emblems and grills and such, and even paint over it, so they can peel it off after, but many people are experiencing problems with it eating clear coat and having areas of haze after...

Are those 33x10's? Can you give me the exact metric size and brand? I like them. Not too wide, but still tall.

Hey Dan. Who did your rear bumper? Also, do you have any pics of your truck with the powder coated wheels? I'm trying to decide if I want to powder coat or paint the stock ones or buy XD wheels. I'd rather save the money and put it towards other mods, but I'm hooked on the wheels.

Okay. Thanks. Not sure I wasn't getting notifications. I'm leaning toward XD Monster 18" wheels with -12 offset and Toyo Open Country MT's in 275/70R18 tires which are 33.6" diameter x 11" wide. My shocks look brand new. They are Bilsteins with Arnott labels and a UPC with a number printed...

Anyone have info on this 4" lift? I've only found info on 3" so far, but curious about this... http://extremelandcruiser.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=96&products_id=304

Thanks ROT. Might just do that. Steering is already a bit soft. No play, just very easy to turn the wheel. I have a feeling with bigger tires the steering will be a bit too wonky.

I'm wondering how the Lexus GX470 handles bigger tires without some kind of steering damper upgrade. Anyone running something for this? Just trying to plan my build.

Thanks TX. Hopefully I can pick your brain on the phone some time. With an hour left before we can take the car back, after some disagreements between the missus and I, it looks like we'll keep it for now. We got it below Kelly Blue Book value including taxes, so I'll give it a chance for a...
