I can’t wait for you to take a rip on the bike when it’s done!

Thank you! Can’t wait to complete this build and show the vision!

That's awesome! I'm biased, but I think you made a solid vinyl color/pattern choice. Congrats on the LX470 purchase!!

Unfortunately, I dont have the rear screen monitor. 😢

100k on mine. Just went out this week, reason I'm here watching as well.

Hopefully this helped!

Great question and it's a concern of mine that I'll be keeping an eye on. I'm planning to do rock sliders and skid plates this fall so I'll probably revisit the exhaust valve when I do those videos. For now it's been out of the way and havent had issues on trails yet. I'm mostly in mud and water down here in Florida, so not as much rocky terrain.

Great question! Unfortunately, it doesnt work as the voltages are different levels for the screen vs. OEM camera. I did a video on installing an after market camera to the head unit and it works great.

Premium fuel burns slower and in general cleaner. The main reason is that Phil recommended the premium tune as it is a more noticeable difference in performance.

These tunes is not mainly a performance tune. It is more to better drivability when adding weight and bigger tires. Just because a company has a dyno sheet means anything. If I hit performance headers I def would run a dyno with the tune and that when it really matters

I wish I knew a shop local to have gotten before dyno numbers, but I could do an after…not sure how much value it has if we don’t have the before to compare. I guess if someone else has stock numbers we could roughly compare.

nvm, didnt get to the part where you said the price lol

Great question! I paid $425 at the event for the tune.

The way to check is to take off the oil fill cover and see if it goes away.

It’s held up incredibly! No leaks and it’s rock solid.

Yes! I actually created my own brackets that I sell online now. Vlog 69 at 14:00 shows the difference in the lighting with and without the Awesomoto brackets.

Very quiet! If you look up performance reviews, they are rated one of the quietest all terrain tires.

We’ll get some sliders on there soon for him. I too need to get some. What sliders are you rocking on your rig and would you recommend them?

Hey Tiago! Your symptoms sound like they are different from what I encountered, so I would say it's something else causing your issue. Have you resolved it yet?

@@Awesomoto Hello, yes friend, after a lot of research and no errors after updating the software on the whole car it remained the same, I remembered doing the test in progress with the ABS module turned off and it generated errors but none of what was expected I risked buying the abs module, I programmed it, it was resolved And that's when the errors generated, they were all resolved after 1 month 😅

@@tiagoalmeida2714That’s great! So it sounds like the abs was the problem all along?

@@Awesomoto yes and I thought it was the software or the reprogramming but in the end it was the module and nothing was wrong, only when it reached speeds above 100kmh the windshield wiper blades turned on, the car lost speed by 20kmh and it didn't warn the brakes on the rear light apparently and I called the I still deactivated draybraking but the car seemed to be stuck while moving, but it was really the module, thankfully the headache has gone away and even though I would brake on a descent and the car would stay stuck for 3 seconds and then move

It’s still on the list of todos lol. It’s just a little low on the priorities since it’s been working well with the controller for now.

lol!! I thought it was on all F8X chassis, but maybe not.

Yes, I added a clear silicone sealant. I didn’t do it at first and then read it months later in their instructions. I didn’t encounter any leaks without it over those few months, but it’s just a good safe measure to do

Right?! It’s definitely the most personalized GX470 I’ve seen.

That’s awesome! I’m glad it sounds similar.

Me too, I agree!! I have the DT headers and Y-pipe to install yet.. but I think w/ the carven it’s going to be way too loud. Maybe paired with this set up back to the stock muffler may be the move

Heck yeah!! I’m getting tuned today and can’t wait!

Back at it! 🤘🏼 This is great to hear! Glad these videos were helpful.

I can’t wait!! 🤘🏼

I’m shocked they got with stock suspension, but so happy it worked out!

Heck yeah!! 🤘🏼

I agree!!

LOL They certainly make you feel like you're in an abusive relationship sometimes. I feel the M line is more reliable than the non M BMWs.

@@Awesomoto 😀 ok cool. I’ve never owned an M

@@thischickcantcook They’re a little more expensive, but they hold their value better.

I have a 2005 GX, so it is VVTI.

It does slightly (maybe 1-3mph). It wasn’t enough for me to do anything about, but if it bothers you there are some people on GXOR facebook group who have instructions on modifying that circuit on the gauge cluster to correct it.

Not winter shitter just miss having a trail rig

I try to answer all comments no matter how old the video! Thanks for reaching out! 🙏🏻 The car in the driveway is my 2015 BMW M4. She’s my baby and was the reason I got the GX to be my beater daily.

Thanks for reaching out! Good point, replacing both is what should be done in case the other is on the way out too. Glad to hear you replaced it yourself with out the dealership tax lol.

Sounds like you aren't very fun at parties either pal. He stated in the video that looking back he wished he would have done some before and after tests. Also the price isn't wildy expensive either so both of your statements don't really make much sense. Looks like you fooled yourself buckaroo.

Yes, I agree…I should have been more quantitative in the video, but working a full-time job with overtime it’s challenging to make every video perfect. It’s a weekend hobby, so some videos get more enthusiasm than others. It’s the cheapest brake upgrade you can do and I’d estimate 15-20% better braking. Not life changing, but worth the small investment.

Thank you for having my back. 🤘🏼

Many (including myself) swear by this method with Toyota CVs. I’ve had issues with the cv boot kits that are “much easier” failing due to the adhesive failing on the trail and under heat. If you know what you are doing this is completely safe.

lol great question. I basically eyeballed the led style to the one it replaced and it was very obvious based on size to tell them apart.

LMAO!! 😂 You know that should have been a statement in the summary section, but I think my exhaustion in the garage got the best of me and I forgot to mention the key point. Ultimately, yes it did get rid of the oscillations and it drives smooth as butter with the new driveshaft.
