Default Old/New GX470

Greetings all,

I have been a lurker on your forum for some time now while i searched for the right GX470 for me. That time has come and i am the new owner of an 06 Ash blue GX.

Thank you all for the very informative posts on these cars. It definately made finding a good car easier.

Regards'
SG

Congrats! Post pics.

We also want to know what upgrades you're planning.

Thanks man. Will get some shots this weekend.

First up is an upgrade of the Nav disc, and I am going to do some maintenance on it - filters lube spark plugs etc. then some new tyres, The previous owner was very good abt maintenance, both from the dealer at the last 10000mi ata garage so i`m hoping for little distress.

Would luv to get the T4R 18"s, otherwise i`d be tyre shopping.

As for aftermarket mods, we`ll see how it goes.

Do any of you guys take your vehicles on trails or road trips - if so where ? Anyone in TX?

Welcome and congrats. I'm 100% satisfied the way mines stand. I just added the moonroof wind deflector and the receiver hitch on mine that's all.

I'm assuming you want the updated Nav disc for updated road info. I dont think the disc update changes any looks of the maps to the newer graphics. Although I wish it did, not crazy of about the dated look of my 04 graphics

JuLeX47 - what model year is yours? The OEM rims are great, but i like the wider stance of the 18"s

ROSCOGX470 - The owner has the original 06 Nav disc, i just wanted the upgraded maps themselves. I jus t moved to TX so i`m relying on GPS till i get a hang of the place.

kphu - Thanks for the link !!!
