    Great series! I just got my GX about a month ago and have been going full steam on building it up. Your videos helped a ton and I appreciate it!

      Hey Bryce! A one owner GX is a gem these days. I lucked out in 2020 when I bought mine and got a one owner. It's such a blast working on this platform. Parts are cheap compared to euro vehicles and maintenance is easy. Thank for reaching out!

    Did the LASFIT two years ago as well and have been perfect! Also the motorcycle NiLlight light mounts inside the fog light housing! I think that was Hawkeye Garage but brilliant and perfect! Thanks for all the great mod tips!

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Месяц назад +1

      Yes! I love the LASFIT products as they are the perfect price point and the quality is good. Yeah, that wasnt me as the armored bumper deleted my fog lights lol.

    Nice video. You've been a great resource for me. I have done 1) wheels and tires, 2) speakers and Phx head unit, and 3) wood delete. I haven't decided on the steering wheel because I love the piano wood feel . My seats aren't in poor condition so I won't be doing that any time soon. Thanks for sharing your work on your GX! Always great content, great explanations!

    So bummed about the seat covers... I am happy you got them though!

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  23 дня назад

      Yeah I'm so bummed about the seat covers too. I love mine and they are still holding up after all these years...not sure why they stopped selling them.

    You ditched the wrap on the wood for painting didn’t you? Because the wrap wasn’t adhering around the air vents.

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад

      Yes, great memory! I ended up painting the pieces around the vents since the vinyl is challenging to wrap around and temp swings caused issues with adhesion.

    Greetings, will you know how to change the internal lights to LEDs, but also the floor lights, which are also on the door handles? I think they are called court lights

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  7 месяцев назад

      I need to look into this because I haven’t changed mine out yet. I assume there is a cover that pops off.

    @Rancejunge Год назад +1

    Have you thought of adding a 2nd 24 gallon extended range gas tank?

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад

      I haven't considered this yet, but it's mostly because the trails I drive aren't so remote that I struggle to get to a gas station. For those going way out in remote areas camping, this would be a great modification. Do you tend to have issues reaching a gas station when out trail riding?

    • @Rancejunge
      @Rancejunge Год назад

      @@Awesomoto I plan to drive from the midwest to Alaska. When you are in the middle of nowhere you may need to run the engine to charge things at the camp site. Another thing is I like to burn gas from Costco and Sams so havving a 1000 mile or more range helps keep costs down. I have your same front bumper as yours with 35 inch tires, a steel rear bumper with 35 back tire and jerry can plus Smittybuilt roof tent with steel roof rack. This is all heavy so I am getting 12 to 16 mpg with my speedometer speed corrected. I recently found a TRD supercharger so I bought another 2uz-fe VVT engine to build. I found I could use turbo pistons from an LF4 engine bought some eagle H beam rods, porting & polishing the heads and Doug Thorley long tube headers. My compression ratio will be 11.2 to 1 with these pistons. I have a couple of piggy back computer systems to try on this setup. Hope to make 500hp but my goal is low end torque. Want to see if I can make this chariot get better MPG for more range but with the weight and wind resistancce it is hard.

    Does that Phenix touch screen need updates?
    If so how does it take updates ?

    Do you have the links for everything you installed? I know you said the seats are discontinued, but the steering wheel and everything else I would like to know where to get

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад +1

      Hey Samuria. Yes, I have links to all products in the videos where I cover each topic. I will get all links and put them in this video description as well to make it easier for future viewers.

  • @Vance82

    Hey dude. Exactly what wheels are these? Have a link? They're so sick.

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  11 месяцев назад

      These are the Motegi MR149 wheels with Falken WIldpeak AT3W tires. I made vlog on the topic (vlog15) to show my thought process for the dimensions.

    What speakers did you replace with? That’s one of the mods I’m looking to do soon!

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад +1

      I did a combination of DS18s and Skar speakers, which I document in Vlog 28 and 30.

    does that tire size throw off the speedometer reading?

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  5 месяцев назад

      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.

    What model interface did you install on your GX?

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад

      I did the Phoenix Automotive interface on the GX. Vlog 27 has the install details on it and I plan to do a future vlog as a follow up video.

    How’s the ride quality? With those tires?

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад

      Great question Adam. The ride quality is outstanding and I found out first hand why they are a highly rated tire. They have very low road noise as well which is a big selling point for me.

    Do you know a reliable mechanic in Orlando I live in Maitland

    • @Awesomoto
      @Awesomoto  Год назад

      Nice! You arent too far away!
      I'm not sure of mechanics in Maitland, but I would search for a Toyota specialist or Off-road shop.
