I thought the seat in my GX had too much wear and tear and wouldn’t cool enough! Turns out others are the same… GX Bob is solving real world problems here! Thanks for sharing this Bob 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Sold out. I bought the 3D file from the company and had them printed. Great fit. Definitely lowers the seat temperature. Well worth doing this minor modification.
Of course, loved the tranmission video. Just putting these out there, next BIG video idea: Water Pump Replacement, or the Valley Plate Leak Fix. UA-cam doesn't have any videos on these two for the GX.
Um actually 🤓 ua-cam.com/video/yPxEzi8ryX4/v-deo.htmlsi=KieHr4sKP2oZp4su Really good video used it to replace my water pump. I swear I’m not a shill just a dude with a 180,000 mile gx 460
yes, you can but by the time you run around looking for ducts to mold, cut, and bend, you've pretty much wasted time and money when you could've just bought one that fits and run back to the TV to watch reruns of Gilligan's Island.
This might be a redundant question but do the HVAC vents need to be set at the arrow(s) pointing down (foot well setting) for these aftermarket tubes to function?
Not redundant at all, excellent question. I made an assumption in which i shouldn't have. You're right, in order for the HVAC duct adapter to be optimal, you have to have your foot well settings on otherwise the seat fan will be working alone.
Think of any issues this could cause due to heat on winter time? Wondering if there's something like a seat module that'll be under too much heat then 🤔
There is a big misunderstanding on this option offered in vehicles. They are not "cooled" seats at all. They are VENTILATED seats. Big difference. Somewhere along the line people started referring to this feature as "cooled" seats on all cars. Not true. The fan just blows whatever temperature air is under the seat as Bob shows in the video. There isn't a cooling system under the seat that blows cold air like your AC system in the car. So if it's a nice day and you just have the windows down (no AC) the fan will blow out whatever the air temperature is in the car. I found this out after buying a 2019 Toyota Highlander for my wife. She hates leather seats because it burns the back of her legs in the summer. The car was advertised with "cooled" seats but they were never cool. I did some research and found out about the seats only being ventilated. I found the original brochure online and sure enough they were described as "ventilated" seats.
@@girldad_outnumbered They are now cooled seats providing you turn on the A/C, turn on footwell option, and add the aftermarket duct to redirect the air. 😁
@GXBOB Yes they are! Thanks for all the work you put into your videos. I've enjoyed my GX more than I imagined since I discovered your channel. Oh and another thing I discovered - beastiality!!! Game changer!! 🐑🍆🤯 Thanks GX*BOB!!! 😆
@@girldad_outnumbered Beastiality is more personal and passionate if you choose a pet that has been in your family for years. I personally chose a Pug because they are known to have more tighter glands than other breeds.
Not sure what type of power draw the oem system is using along with inline resistors if any that would not accept a larger aftermarket fan. Plus the cutout of the fan output has to seal to the seats input duct. Thats a story in itself.
I bought the file and printed them. Cooling goes from a 1 to a 2.5 out of 10. Have reasonable expectations - this doesn’t fix the poor engineering of the design. Great truck otherwise.
@@redeyess72 I agree with you. Do me a favor, turn on your seat fans and your foot well A/C at the same time. It helps but these ducts optimizes the airflow to help even more.
Thank you for referring to my serious DIY car channel as a complete and worthless joke. You sounded like my parents when I told them I wanted to lose my virginity to a white chick.
Actually, it's not. That's how Etsy works. It's made to order, so the dude just has to reset his stock to show that it's not out of stock. Just email/message him. I think he changed it since.
@ yeah I’m finding that out lol. And I couldn’t get my lazy ass off the bed to go look under the seat. It’s looks fairly generic. Excellent find! Now, about the heated seats. ….

Looking at the design, i bet with a Bambu printer you can skip the supports so long as you orient the inlet face of the duct to the plate. Enough of this theorizing, I’ll go launch the print.
Results of my first print: I used an A1, Orca slicer, 0.4mm nozzle. 0.24mm layer height (default draft profile) without supports. I did let Orca add a 5mm brim, which seemed prudent due to the tall and narrow profile. Took roughly 90 minutes and the print cae out functionally usable, but plenty of pubes under the chin of the outlet end’s overhang. Good enough to use, though I have tweaked settings for the other seat and report back in this thread with the results.
I installed this product on my GX and works beautifully. Thanks bob for the heads up on this one.

I bought a set of these a few months ago for my 23 GX. Definitely can feel the difference.

Good to hear that it worked for you!
Excellent idea!
I’ve wondered the same thing about why the seats aren’t that cool Bob, thanks!
Don't say that so loud, Nissan owners are listening.
Neal has them for sale again right now. Bought me one.
Another great find
Thank you for the additional cracc cooling, GX BOB and hidmybeer 🍻
Excellent video❤
Nice pajamas. Informative and helpful as always.
My daughter wears pajamas when we go out and i found out all her friends do the same. I had no idea it was a trend.
Yep, great idea. Wish they weren't sold out.
Email/Message Neal to let him know. I think he has an list of orders going.

Really good video used it to replace my water pump. I swear I’m not a shill just a dude with a 180,000 mile gx 460
You could probably improvise something similar out of cardboard. Another good idea would be to route some dryer hose from the fan to the duct.
yes, you can but by the time you run around looking for ducts to mold, cut, and bend, you've pretty much wasted time and money when you could've just bought one that fits and run back to the TV to watch reruns of Gilligan's Island.

It’s sold out! What other sites sells it?
Damn that was fast. Neal will make more, just email him or message him. They are 3D printed so it shouldn't take too long.
@ thanks Anh gxbob!
Ordered. I really hope this works, Bob. I just assumed my coolers did not work. Now I know what's happening.
@@kostovmail make sure you also turn on the foot well air option
Now to upgrade the fan.
@@CrayCrayRedneck you risk the possibility of a front seat ejection because you’d be over loading the flux capacitor.
Ohhhhhh so I need to have air going to the rear to make any of this work right?
@@Unb3arablePain not the rear. The foot well.
Happy 🗽🗽🗽

I'm gonna go look for the creator. I hope he has some of these for the LS460
Good luck with that.
@GXBOB seen some for thr GS that looks like my LS vents, so I'm gonna see if I can reach out to him, or if not I'll buy em and see
YESSS!!
I think my brother would probably do the sniffing the hand thing.😆
Don’t knock it till you try it
Does it blow heat in winter?🤔
Yes, the HVAC duct under your seat blows out heat and A/C. All the duct does is redirect air to your seat fans.
@@GXBOB Thanks and again… great video as always!
My Nissan product don't need that cause it was done right from the begining!
So your AC works while your truck is sitting on the side of the highway waiting for a tow truck?
@GXBOB hey, at least my butt is Cold while I wait...
Why not just upgrade the real problem which is the fan?
Not sure what type of power draw the oem system is using along with inline resistors if any that would not accept a larger aftermarket fan. Plus the cutout of the fan output has to seal to the seats input duct. Thats a story in itself.
Sold out before I could buy a set

To be honest, stuff for your truck is going to be very minimal since its so new.
@ yeah I’m finding that out lol. And I couldn’t get my lazy ass off the bed to go look under the seat. It’s looks fairly generic. Excellent find! Now, about the heated seats. ….
Bob really is the goat
I bought the file and printed them. Cooling goes from a 1 to a 2.5 out of 10. Have reasonable expectations - this doesn’t fix the poor engineering of the design. Great truck otherwise.
I had no idea he was selling the Stp file. What model printer do you have?
@ Bambu P1S. Worked great - worst part is cleaning up the supports after the print…ugh.
I just bought the STL and will print it on a Bambu A1. Will report back. Great find, Bobby!
