  1. Did you have any luck repairing your dash? I have one running across the top of the dash on my 2004 Lexus Gx470.
  2. I posted a question back on March 15 asking about trailer hitches for bike racks. I was looking for something other than the heavy duty trailer hitches, but had no luck. It sounds like my 04 GX470 has the same conditions as yours. I have what looks like an upside down "U" shape with flanges with three holes on each side. It almost looks like the bottom half of a 2" square sleave has been removed. The local Lexus parts guy looked it up and there supposedly was a piece there. His parts manual indicates that it is no longer available. He said that in 04, there was no suitable hitch available when production went out, so they put this half-!Removed! thing on (or so he says). I ended up getting a Curt 13455 from Autoanything (day and a half delivery). Here's the problem: The Curt looks good, but that upside down U shape still is highly visible . If your bumper is like mine, the 14" section of the plastic bumper over the center has an upturned lip on it that seems to be the problem. I've not checked back with Lexus yet to see if that 14" piece can be replaced with one that is flush across, the same shape as the rest of the bumper. That would cover up the U shape and improve the appearance. Hope this helps.... bobfehgx470
  3. My 2004 GX470 has the top "u" shape for the 2" square opening for a hitch. I question if there is a hitch available that will handle a bike rack without going for the full 5000# capacity trailer hitch.
