Default Put Rims On My Gx470 :D

I have 22 inch f5 racing wheels on my gx470 with lionhart tires i love the setup. Recently i also added ipod integration to it also its a 2004 so it was hard to find but thanks to GTA Car Kits it works it charges my iphone or ipod while playing music. Recently my speakers blew i bought alpine type r speakers and it sounds so much better. Then my subwoofer died on me so i put a 6.5 inch kicker sub in and the sound system is kicking.

The link is for the GTA Car Kit: http://gtacarkits.com/lexus_gx_2004_2009_car_kit.php
but you have to read carefully because you choose if it has navigation or no.
The installation video of how to hook up the Car Kit is here:

seems like the gta kits disable the factory cd changer. for a bit more money i would think the vaistech is a better option, allowing you to keep the cd changer and add a new ipod mode

vaistech or grom both far better then the GTA kit.

I have alot of possible comments on this thread, but I'll leave it to "only in NJ"

Any bets on when aftermarket speakers will blow the factory amp??

Nice looking GX!

Where did you get the chrome handles done and installed? I like those.

And I ws curious on the iPod hook up...which system did you go with? Can you control the song selection from the iPod
