What did you do to your GX TODAY?

I have OME 2895 coils in the rear with metaltech's coil spring conversion kit. In the front I have Bilstein 5100 struts set to 3/4 of full lift with stock coils. Soon, I'll be putting the OME lift springs on the front to get rid of the excessive dive and lift when braking and accelerating. I think I got about 1 1/2 to 2" all around but didn't measure it.

I've been eyeing some 18" BFD wheels so I ordered a set today along with 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers and black chrome gorilla lugs. I went with gunmetal wheels, I think it'll go well with Silver Pine. I'll post some pictures when it all comes in and I can mount the tires and install them.

Edit; the poster who asked the question has an 03 like I do. It should be very doable without pulling the console. I can't speak for newer ones though.

i replaced the timing belt and spark plugs on my GX. Has anyone ever noticed a negative difference in performance after doing this? My GX seems to accelerate slower...and gas mileage appears to be worse. I would have thought mileage should improve after new plugs.

Sure wish i knew why mine feels like the opposite. I have a obd2 chip that i haven't plugged in recently. I guess i should pop that in and see if there's anything else going on that i don't know about. Always a scary thing to check. "What you don't know, won't hurt you" lol.

no check engine light. would a warning light come on for all sensors or just some? like ones before or after the catalytic converter? i'm not that knowledgeable about those sensors and locations.

You're sure you used the correct plugs, tightened them to spec, and got the coils properly in place? Maybe try disconnecting the battery and stepping on the brake pedal to reset the ECU (you'll have to do relearns for the windows/sunroof, etc), so the ecu can relearn with the new plugs in place.
