Hi Guys,

I'm, or I should say my wife is the proud new owner of a 2006 GX470 with 75k miles and its in mint condition drives great interior and exterior are in great condition I was surprised when I went to test drive it on Tue.
Wanted to see if there is anything I need to worry about at this mileage? except for the gas=) took $75 to fill it up! It has no warranty on it, so just want to see if I should buy coverage?

thanks,

and here are the pics enjoy

-i flushed out all fluids with new (diff/transfer/tranny/engine/brake/steering) when i took possession of mine cuz i care
-nothing major until 90K (timing belt/pump)
-check your brake calipers as they tend to seize over time
-use premium unleaded dude like it says in your manual
-this sucker is essentially a land cruiser so it should last you well into the 200-300K range if you care to keep it that long

congrats!

Congrats on your new GX.

Can you do me a favor...Ive asked other members but I guess they dont want to get their hands dirty...can you measure the O.D. of your exhaust tip. I just had a 3" SLP tip welded on today and it looks smaller than the stock bolt on tip. Maybe because the stock tip is rolled?

Thanks and congrats again. I bought my GX last month and Im loving it so far!

Isnt that the OEM bolt on tip you have now? If so, I mean the O.D. of that, not the tail pipe itself. The O.D. of the tail pipe is 2.5".

Welcome to the club and congrats on your new GX. This is one of the best trucks out there. You and your family will enjoy it. As long as you keep up the maintenance, it will take good care of you.
