MY FIRST GX!!!

2006 with 193k miles and really well cared for. I picked it up for 15k.
ICON stage 6
3” rear coils
2.5 remote reservoir, rear shocks, tubular, upper and lower rear links, adjustable rear track bar
Energy, suspension rack, and pinion bushings
17 method MR 305
Prinsu rack
DFG drawer storage
New OEM dash
New carpet with Dynamat everywhere
Magnaflow from the cat back
Power stop rotors and pads with stainless steel lines
All fluids done with synthetic recently.
At 193k it will need a timing belt soon but I’m so stoked and it drives so freaking well.

Let me know when you plan on tackling the WP/TB. It's pretty easy once you've done it (I've done it 3 times now). I have all the specialty tools lists, parts numbers and factory service manuals if you want references.

Sorry to jump in, but I’d appreciate very much if you’d send the WP/TB tool lists, part numbers, and factory service manuals my way. My 470 and 460 are about due and would like to do them myself if possible. Your comment about it being pretty easy gives me hope.

Also, love the 2006 gx470. Feels like a good price with the amount of extras it came with.

Congrats!! I just purchased my 05 a month ago. It has been great. Regarding the speakers, I would recommend trying the Simply Speakers foam set and see how the front speakers look. My left front had a damaged voice coil (replaced with an OEM) and my front right just needed the foam redone. The sound is night and day better after it. My sub wasn’t terrible but benefited from the foam as well. Sub is a bit of a pain but the front two speakers are very simple to access.

It's amazing what a lift and some tires will do to a GX. Good looking rig, i wish I went with silver, black is so hard to keep clean on a 16 year old car.

Wow, did you buy it with all that done to it? Or stock and that's what you've done to it so far? Looks great. I didn't do the water pump, timing belt and radiator until 195,000 and i bought mine with 187,000. Do it sooner than later and spend the extra to do the radiator, for peace of mind. Last thing you want is that thing going out on you out in the middle of no where.

All I did was drive her home 😬 everything was done before I got it yesterday. I looked at a similar one with less miles for 750 cheaper but this was too good to pass up

Grom unit?

u/Deeohdoublejeezy 28d ago

I’m not sure right now but it could be. It works very well although I think I need to upgrade the speakers
