Hey everyone, I finally was able to get a couple things done to the new GX so I could take pictures. Took me 3 hours and 3 blisters today to take off an old, faded, gross clear bra. It's a 2004 with 147k miles. I'm a Toyota/Lexus junkie and I traded in a '13 Tacoma for this - no more payments!!!

Got any plans for it or are you leaving her stock?

I'll be leaving it stock. I've modded my past two Tacomas so I'm looking forward to leaving this one as is. I may mess with the suspension down the road if the airbags fail but won't be lifting it.

Very nice and clean. Looks like the clear bra did a good job protecting the front.

Thanks everyone. I really do enjoy driving it, even though I don't have full functionality of it yet. The volume **** of the radio didn't work so the dealer I bought it from had the radio sent back to the manufacturer for repair. Is the Mark Levinson system any good?

The only feature this vehicle does not have is Bluetooth, so I may look into getting an aftermarket setup. Any recommendations that aren't crazy expensive?
