Today we will be working on a 2004 Lexus GX470. We will be installing Hidden Hitch part number 70779, also comparable to Draw-Tite part number 75155. These measurements will be helpful when ing a drawbar, a bike rack or a cargo carrier. From the top of the receiver tub to the ground is about 16-3/4 inches. And it is about 1 inch from most external points of the bumper. Now let us go ahead and do our installation. 0:35 There are three attachment points on the passenger side. These are pre-manufactured drill holes. As part of a pre-installation what we are going to do is lubricate those well and clean the threads out thoroughly before we try and do any installation. We are going to use a nylon tub brush, part number 814092, and some lubricant to try and clean these threads out. It is always a good idea to take your new bolt and test it to make sure you have your threads thoroughly cleaned out. Now that we have our passenger side frame rail prepped, we are going to move over to the driver side. Here we are going to need to remove the tow hook. We are going to move over to disconnect our electrical. This is a 7-way plug installed by the manufacturer. We are going to remove it and its bracket. 1:32 To remove out 7-pole connecter, we have two hold downs here first. And then we are going to remove our electrical connectors. We are going to press and release. And again, press and release the connection point. We are going to set that aside for now. Now that we have our harness removed, we need to remove our bracket. But, in order to get to the bracket, we have a couple of fascia bolts that will have to be removed first. OK, now that we have our two fascia hold downs removed, what we have to do is remove the bracket over top of the electrical bracket. This is attached to the impact bar. You can see we have a hold down here and then another one up here on the very back side of the impact bar near the spare tire. We just need to pull that impact bracket out of the way. It exposes two hold downs for our electrical bracket that will be removed. We are going to repeat the same process on the passenger side. The only difference is it is going to have three fasteners instead of two: one hold down here, one at the outer most point of the vehicle and one more towards the center. 3:00 Before we raise our new hitch in to place, I am setting up my block and handle nut. You can see I have taped the block to the handle nut. You will see that some tweaking may be necessary on your handle nut assembly because we are going to line up with this hole here in the impact bumper. Now that we have our handle nut assemblies in place, it is good to get a helping hand to help raise your new hitch in to place and secure it with your mounting bolts and conical tooth washers. Alright, that completes the three on the sub frame for our driver side. Now we will do the one on the rear impact bar. Now that we have our hitch into place, we can go through and hand tighten everything. Now that we have everything hand tight, we can go ahead and torque down to specifications. 3:59 And now we want to go ahead and reconnect our electrical. What you will need to do is pull your wires off of the frame mounts in order to get enough length to connect the connector back up. The new hitch comes with a mounting bracket for the connector. And, as you can see, it gives us the length we need to reconnect. Now we can go ahead and mount of box to our new hitch and that completes the reinstallation of our electrical component. The last piece of installation of our new hitch is going to be re-securing the fascia that we removed the bracket on. Installation instructions will call for a couple of zip-ties and to re-secure back to the impact bumper. We have found with this particular make and model that it is best to actually re-secure directly to your new hitch. And this completes the installation of our Hidden Hitch part number 70779, which is also comparable with Draw-Tite part number 75155.
