2003 GX470

[GX470fm]

Just recently purchased a 2003 gx470. Spot I got if from added a 2” old man emu lift, K02’s and TRD rims.
Trying not to spend too much until I know what I really need.
Bought some missing trim parts and got a frame adjustment to avoid slight rub on the drivers side.

What I did add within the first week was the Kaon Prado rear table and net replacement. Pretty easy install.


Baby steps.

Very nice start. Get out and explore/camp and keep it simple as possible.

If you go with 33” wheels you will most likely have slight rubbing when turning hard. Clipping back the plastic will help with noise but you may want to hammer back the pinch weld. I plan to do it once weather is warm enough for painting(maybe spring).

How do you like the ome kit how’s the ride?

Ride is great, can’t compare it to stock as this is how I purchased it. It feels natural for the vehicle although I am curious how a regear might improve the ride due to the wheel size. It has also come in handy due to the early big snow storm we had in Maine.

Slight update to the config. Made a bracket that fits in the seat mount for the box.
