Great detailed installation video! Thanks
Awesome video man! I wanted to add a couple tips from my experience. Before you do anything prep the holes with PB blaster and use a metal tube brush for all eight holes. After that, run a bolt up through each hole to ensure you can finger start your bolts when mounting. If hitch doesn’t line up perfectly with the holes get a small C clamp from Lowe’s or Home Depot. Put the C clamp on right above the muffler and pull the leg of tow bar to the frame to align holes. Then just concentrate on getting your bolt started with your fingers. If I would’ve known these things prior to starting I would’ve saved myself hours of time. Good Luck!
Your channel is helping me so much with my GX470. Question, my AC lights keeps blinking with hot air coming out. Any suggestions / remedy? Thanks a lot
This is an awesome truck
I wish Curt has the 4 center screws like the oem making more durable
What year is your GX470? I'm looking at a 2007 GX470.
That's exactly why I want a tow hitch on my GX470 (2007 year model)! ha! So… when can you come put it on for me? haha! (Thanks for the vid.)
Awesome. Love it…. Trusty old timer knife…
what tires did you get? Can you provide a link? they look great @krtlyfe
Any lift on your truck?
another video that will help me soon !!! thx
Great video. I just replaced my bags, but next time I will install springs. My bags replacement cost much more than the spring replacement. Thanks for posting the information!
Got to say – thanks for making this videos! I replaced my busted halogen lights to LEDs thanks to you, and def using this and your other GX470s to work on mine. Love how mine drives, just trying to get the looks just right lol. Much love from Austin!
There is a easier option, the car comes with support of the curt 13043 hitch which screws right in front of the spare tire in the four factory screw holes. Install takes less than 5 minutes
Awesome vid. Any future plans for an exhaust upgrade? I’ve grown beyond the whisper quiet ride on our GX and looking for some real-world V8 feedback =D
I’m looking for one for my Lexus
where is the link to the tow hitch that you purchased?
Very helpful vid. Thanks for posting!
