Installed a heads up display in my GX this weekend. I wanted a digital speedometer, so I researched all the options. I ended up choosing this hud (US $111.60 For Toyota Prado Driving Screen OBD Speedometer Projector Windshield Car HUD Head Up Display https://a.aliexpress.com/_dVyguGx) The product was advertised for the Toyota Prado, but I thought I’d take my chances with it working with the GX. The hud functions perfectly. It is designed as a replacement for the drivers side A pillar speaker cover. I had to make a few minor modifications to make it fit and still isn’t 100% flush with the dash. The speedometer seems to be dead on after making some small adjustments in the settings. I added a few pics...
Since it is connected to OBD port, for those of us using the OBD module for auto mirror folding may not work. Love to give a try if that is the one you got.
Ordered Centric Premium front rotors and Power Stop pads. Records show our GX has had at least three front pad changes on what I assume are still the original rotors. Will knock it out on Friday.
Replaced the aftermarket front aftermarket stainless grill and lower grills with New F Sport parts on my 12 Premium. Had retired body guy do it. I think it looks much better. Pics to follow. They ruined the lower grills by drilling holes for the mounting studs fro the stainless covers.

Did you have the same problem I have with holes in the bumper? Post #28
Detailed it (yesterday). Haven't left our house in 10 days so decided to take it for a drive and saw signs for 87 gas at $1.60. Came back home and hibernated...
Buy the dips and sell the tips!
Received after market tail lights this morning and put it on without any delay since we are under "stay home" order Detail writing will be done later under "Tail lights" tread. Here is a quick view of result:
Front brakes done. They were done before our vehicle was put up for sale but I wanted to do them to go with a different pad and fresh rotors. Used Centric Premium rotors which I've used on many applications along with Powerstop Evolution pads. I run this same combo on my LS430 and they are great, nice firm bite and almost zero dust. The pads came with new pins and clips too. Will do the rears this summer.
Doesn't look like it but I can assure you that the lower clip is properly installed and oriented outwards. Doesn't really show it in the photo. Oh, the front rotors were a bit stuck which surprised me. I had two bolts and used those in the holes in the hat to pop the rotor off. Had them on hand from my LS430, same pitch and thread. If you need the size, you can search on the forum as a whole and find it.
