I did a few things today. 2004 GX470 165K miles

1. replaced all three climate control servo (left (1), right (2))
2. replaced Transfer case actuator O-ring and join
3. disabled TPMS
4. installed LED interior light and running board

All went well, I am happy

Did you add a switch for TPMS disable?
Why not just get new sensors?

The TPMS flasing light is just annoying.
Yes, I did add the switch to disable the TPMS and wait until the next rotation or tire replacement to replace all 4 TPMSs.

Thanks

Been searching for a pearl white on gray/black interior 07+ for a long while. Finally found a CA truck with 107k, looks new underneath. I did the 08+ sport head/fog/tail/reverse light conversion, and had Exquisite Auto Spa do paint correction and ceramic coating along with 3M film on the head/fog lights

If there was one thing I could change about my GX, it might be a grey interior over undoing all the years of rust damage underneath, lol.

Do you have a guide for where the 6 points are?

Had the dealer mount new snow tires on 4Runner Sport wheels I bought for $100, had a key cut and programmed and put on new hood struts.

I believe there's a u-joint on each end and the slip joint for each driveshaft.

Yes, there are three U-joint/slip joint pair
One pair located at rear differential, one pair back of Transfer case, one pair in front of transfer case.
There are lots of information about lubing driveshaft.
