  • Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for a 2009 Lexus GX 470
  • The 60" x 49" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR35TB requires specific fit kits and is only compatible with certain vehicles. We do have a Pioneer platform rack that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2009 Lexus GX 470 but unfortunately this is not the correct part number. Instead you need to use the 58" x 47" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42115BF which is a universal fit that is compatible with round, square, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. This rack features mounting...

  • Is a Hitch Required to Mount Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR on 2007 Lexus GX 470
  • Yes, in order to mount the Thule Hitching Post Pro Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack, # TH934XTR, on your 2007 Lexus GX 470, your vehicle will need to be equipped with a hitch like the Curt Custom Fit Trailer Hitch, # 13445. Another convenient option for carrying bikes with your Lexus would be with a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay PRO 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV. This option would limit you to carrying a maximum of three bikes at one time. I have attached a link to all of the trunk...

  • Difference Between Air Deflectors That Fit Lexus
  • The difference between the two WeatherTech air deflectors you asked about are the year and model of Lexus they fit. The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear # WT82329 fit your 2005 Lexus GX 470. The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear # WT82797 fit model years 2016 - 2020 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h. The different contours of the vehicles and model years require different fits, which is why the ones that fit your...

  • Will Timbren Jounce Spring TTORSEQ Make Off-Road Ride Quality Rough
  • Timbren rear axle jounce spring kits, like # TTORSEQ that fits your 2005 Lexus GX 470, are normally not engaged with the axle with the vehicle unloaded, meaning not full of passengers and/or cargo and not loaded by trailer tongue weight. If you were to be on a rough off-road surface with the vehicle unloaded you would be likely to feel the springs engage the axle when a wheel suddenly climbs up out of a rut. Since these springs are rated for 6000-lbs they are pretty stiff. They will support...

  • How to Use Dr. Tray With 1-1/4 Inch Shank in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • Alright, so let's start with the Dr. Tray; I checked with Yakima for you and there isn't a replacement shank/stinger for the Dr. Tray so there's no way to convert it from a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch shank. So the best option really is going to be a hitch reducer, with one specific option I recommend: - Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 The reason I recommend going with this reducer is because unlike most reducers it does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your...

  • Towing Mirrors for 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • While there are no custom towing mirrors for a 2005 Lexus GX 470 there is one potential solution with the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2. These are a universal fit that will work on mirrors that are between 4-1/2" and 11-1/2" tall; while they have not been test fit on an '05 Lexus GX 470 the way they install with clips on the arms and a ratcheting strap tightening system it is likely they will work for your car. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out.

  • Replacement Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly
  • I spoke with our tire and wheel expert (30+ years in the business) and he stated that Demco is rounding the bolt pattern up to 115mm. This often happens with companies that do not manufacturer the tires and wheels. Wheel # DM11574 is indeed the exact replacement from Demco for the KarKaddy SS tow dolly.

  • Recommended Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Lexus GX470
  • I have a solution for you, but unfortunately, The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 75685, you asked about is not a fit for your vehicle. That hitch is a fit for only 2010-2016 Lexus GX 460 models. For your 2007 Lexus GX 470, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch, # 75155. This trailer hitch is a custom fit, designed specifically for your vehicle and actually exceeds the weight ratings on the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75685 you asked...

  • Using the Thule Hitching Post Pro Part # TH934XTR on a 2006 Lexus GX470
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR does tilt rather far compared to other models. However, as we have not yet installed this rack on a 2006 Lexus GX470 I would not be able to confirm that the rear hatch can be swung open with the rack installed. There also cannot be any bikes on the rack while it is tilted down. The Hitching Post Pro is a bike rack manufactured by Thule exclusively for us. They do not offer it to any other clients. If you would like to add a lock to this rack...

  • Best Hitch Option to Carry a Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier for a 2007 Lexus GX 470
  • We do have a trailer hitch for your vehicle, however, the Draw-Tite Hitch Reciever, part # 75685 is not a confirmed fit for the 2007 Lexus GX470. It is designed to fit the GX460 from 2010 to 2017. Hitch receivers are designed for specific vehicles and shouldn't be used on vehicles they aren't intended for. Instead, I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver, part # 13445. This will provide your vehicle with a strong mounting point for whatever you'd like to carry. For a bike...

  • Why Aren't The Torque Specs For The BX2908 Listed In The Installation Manual
  • I spoke with Blue Ox about the lack of instructions with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2908 and was told that it's one of their older baseplates and that the chart for those no longer exists but that the # BX1139 has the same torque specifications and lists them up at the top of the installation instructions. I've attached those instructions below so that you can complete the baseplate installation on your 2004 Lexus GX 470.

  • Will the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller Work With An iPhone 4S
  • The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will work with both iPhones and iPads. That said, these devices will need to have an IOS of 8.0 or newer. Since you said your iPhone 4S has an IOS of 9.3.6 it will work just fine with the Curt Echo. The last I checked, the iPhone 4s is the oldest iPhone that can be used with the Curt Echo so you are in luck. The ECHO Smart Control App requires 7.2 MB of space for installation as of August 2019.

  • Does Curt Hitch For 2004 Lexus GX 470 Line Up to Bolt Holes
  • The bolt holes on your 2004 Lexus GX 470 will line up perfectly when installing the Curt hitch that fits, which is the following part: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13445 There is also no need to partially disassemble the bumper; the hitch will simply line up to the bolt holes and you will install the hitch with the included bolts. I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2009 Lexus GX 470
  • There are currently two hitches available for your 2009 Lexus GX 470, the Curt # 13445 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155. Both of these will use the cross bar that goes across the frame though, as there is not an area to mount something like the # 75685 on your frame, unfortunately. With that said, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155 will meet the towing capacity of your GX 470 better and will be my suggestion to you. This hitch is rated to 6,000 pounds towing and 600 pounds of tongue weight...

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Hub for Trailer with 8 on 6-1/2" Bolt Pattern
  • I have a few options for you to help with identifying the correct replacement hubs on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the bearings based off industry standards. For example, a 7,000 lb axle uses 25580 and 14125A bearings like what comes with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-865-7-2-K. The other option would be to take the hubs...
