I've posted this before, but I wasn't really ready to sell it back then. However, it just doesn't meet our needs anymore, and I am finally accepted that it is time to sell it. I've lowered the price a fair bit for a quick sale, as we found what we want to replace it with (AWD Transit)
Here is a 2006 GX470 that has all the modifications done that you want in a GX Overland build.
-Rear 8.2 E-lock
-Front electric Dif Lock
-Center dif lock
-4wd hi and 4wd low gearing
-Re-geared to 4.56
-Landcruiser E-Lock switch
-35" SST Pro tires
-Full size matching brand new spare tire on rear bumper, 0 miles
-Engo winch 12k with synthetic line
-Iron Man Foam Cell Pro suspension
-Aftermarket control arms
-Full aluminum skid plates
-Full independent secondary electrical system
-House electrical distribution panel
-House battery (for lights, radios, fridge, usb charging)
-ARB Fridge
-High output alternator
-Custom baltic burch rear drawer and fridge slide system
-Metal Tech bumpers front and rear
-Fuel holder on rear bumper (for two 6 gal tanks)
-Red rock lights- come on with open door, unlocked doors, or switch on/off
-Trailer brake
-2" trailer hitch receptacle with 7 pin trailer connection
-Roof rack 4'x8' using factory attachment points
-FoxWing 270 degree awning (this thing is super cool)
-Brand new awning cover
-Sliders (included but not installed)
-Weather Tech floor mats front and rear
-Switches for front, side, reverse LEDs on center console
The "less than perfect"
-Front Driver Axle boots are split. Will need to be rebuilt or replaced
-Rubber around the windows are splitting and peeling (new ones purchased and included)
-Trim on lower pax door is loose in front half of pax door (just needs new plastic clips)
-fist sized dent on back corner pillar
-rear tail light has heat damage (a car parked behind me caught on fire, this was only damage)
-Has some "pinstriping" from brush - shallow scratches on both sides paint
-Navigation control unit was removed- so no nav
-Transfer case leak (common issue, easy fix. I just top it off occasionally)
I bought this in 2014 and started the build when I only could find 5 other GX builds in the country at the time. This GX had the first commercially built/bought front and rear bumpers for a GX in the USA- by Southern Style Offroad (then Southern Style Speed) installed at the Overland Expo in 2014 in Flagstaff, AZ. Those have been since replaced with Metal Tech bumpers front and rear. They are far superior bumpers and are made down in Oregon. Installed and modified for 35" tires by the workers at Metal Tech.
This is a 227k mile vehicle that was used off road, so it has some wear and tear. It is, however, built solid and has lots of life left. It has many trips multiple hours away from the closest road and many miles away from any help (has been into the Maze section of Canyonlands multiple times) and has many more trips like this left in her. Only left us stranded once when the idler pulley squeeled for a few days and took out the aux belt. My fault for not fixing the pulley when it was warning me with the noise. It does go through a front axle every few years due to the high angle between the front dif and the drive knuckle. I have a few axle cores that I would include in the sale, if interested, to be used for a rebuild. The GX gets regular full synthetic oil changes, and the last timing belt/water pump was done at 180k miles. This has been a bullet proof workhorse for the past 10 years, and we'll be sad to see it go.
The reason for the sale is that our trips have stopped including offroad adventures into the middle of nowhere, and are now focused on the kids' bike racing around the state. As much as I hate to do it, it looks like my future is Van Life at bike trailheads for the foreseeable future.
Asking $15,950. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I'm also open to offers, but I won't give it away. I'm willing to do a video chat walk around or provide more pictures upon request also. Bike rack not included. Still being driven, so miles (currently 227,000) will be going up.
