The G Man

The tint is not a film. I would go to a window tinting place and have them look at it. Maybe they can spary some tint on it to make it look less noticable. Good Luck

Condition that section as often as you can and try not to rub across it when entering the vehicle.

If you buy it from a good supplier, the kit will come with instruction. Expect to spend about 2 to 3 hours on the upgrade if you are good mechanically and electrically.

Maybe the wife wanted a sedan and you bought a truck. Making the passenger seat more adjustable will not solve the problem, she will just find something else to complain about.

Seriously, if she is wearing her seatbelt, how much can she move around in that seat. The passenger seat does not tilt like the driver seat, so she will not sink into the seat if thats what you are talking about. If she has her right hand clutched around the overhead handle and has three fingers of her left hand extended up against the dash while shes in the passenger seat, it might be just a form of protest against the lack of adjustment of the passenger seat, but by no mean will she fall out of the seat.

The coin tray replace the ash tray. Its the same tray except it is lined to keep the coin quiet. If I remember right, its like 40 bucks. If you dont want to spend the 40 bucks, you can get some lining from a art and craft store and do it your self. You can also install the stainless steel exhaust tip yourself, its a 5 minute job, only 1 screw. I bought my stainless steel exhaust tip online and it was half of the price compare to my Lexus dealer. Lexus want to charge me $50 bucks on top of that for labor, so I save a $100 by buying it online and doing it myself.

The passenger seat is fine, tell her to wear her seat belt so she doesnt have to use the handle all the time.

The best accessories IMO are stainless steel exhaust tip, HID and coin tray if you are not a smoker.

Clunk is one issue to look out for, vibration is a problem in a very small percentage of the GX. Another issue is that sometime the KDSS will cause the truck to sit unevenly left to right.

The drive shaft is cover under power train warranty and the control arms are cover under bumper to bumper warranty.

Low beam: H11 bulb, high: 9005 and fog: H3

$47.5 sounds about right, you may have to use the internet and find a dealer a little further away to take that deal.

Premium is recommanded for best performanace for the 05, but not required, you can use regular, there is not really a lot of diff. in performance if you are not towing. KDSS comes with the sports package which is rare, KDSS is also a standard alone option, but its even harder to find.

The clunk is the most wide spread issue on the GX, other than that, most other problems are isolated. When shopping for the 04 or 05 GX, keep in mind that the 05 have added 35 horespower.

You have to re-program the auto open close function after you remove the battery, the procedure is in the manual and dont forget to re-program the sun roof too.

There are compalins about the Audi's leather seats in their SUV as well. Bottom line is, all SUV seats will wear faster due to the rubbing from getting in and out. The only seat I have seen that wear better is in the BMW X5. They use a tougher leather which show less wrinkle but the leather is not as soft.

Lol, if you look under a lot of things, it is dirty. If I dont see dirt, it is clean, I am not going to look for dirt. :)

You should not have to do any engine valves clearance.

Yes

I like the covers because they make it easy to clean the engine bay. I lost of few of those clips when I change out my lights. The dealer's parts guy gave me some for free, he threw in a few extras too.

30K is a major service, it usually cost between 500 to 800 dollars depending on where you are.

All other windows do not respond to the controls on the drivers door nor the control on their respective doors. If the windows dont work with the buttons, its not a progarmming issue. Re-progarmming is for the auto function only.

I got it from a mod on another forum, he is usually pretty right on. I was hoping for a keyless start on the 08, but you never know.

If all the auto up down feature dont work, you need to re-program the auto function. You are suppose to do that everytime you disconnect the battery, and the sunroof too. The procedure is in the manual. If only the driver window works, you may have the child proof window lockout button activiated on the driver door.

I heard the 08 will have 18" rims and more chrome, thats it.
