      Yeah that's not a bad idea to get under it. I have to Fluid Film this weekend anyway so good timing 👍

      Not sure if this helps as a base point of reference, but factory wheels are: Wheel Dimensions: 18" x 7.5" (sans the premium 19") Offset: +25mm (Offset is same for either 18" or 19" wheels) Bolt Pattern: 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 inches) Center Bore...

      Just a heads up if you encounter any issues with senors not working: If I remember correctly there is a specific orientation (clocked) position for the parking sensors. My bumpers had a small "key" cut with the round hole for the parking sensor...

      Thanks for the great info all. I got the bumper and winch installed today. The bumper was a bit of a chore. Took me and a buddy most of the day to get it done. Then I spent another hour or so wiring up the light bar and the winch. Not the...

      Yeah, but "red" recovery hooks poking out the front look sooo sexy! :D

      The factory front recovery points are fine. I have never heard of one failing that wasn't rusted badly.

      Considering the short block would probably need to be shipped either from Australia or Japan to Europe that would be a very pricey option although I like that solution the most since the engine was already rebored once so I don't like the idea of...

      A possible long term fix may be to address its two primary failure modes: mechanical piston fatigue and thermal over-fueling. The single best long-term solution is to rebuild or replace the engine using ceramic-coated, updated-design pistons...

      Highly recommend an awning if you will be spending a lot of time at the beach. Makes for a much more comfortable visit on a hot and sunny day.

      Thank you for the recommendations. I have nearly everything mentioned in the Roam box on the roof rack. I do have some traction boards up there as well. I don’t think they are maxtrax brand though. I also have a hitch mounted recovery point...

      So far, looks very good AND capable! A couple of things you may consider adding for beach camping: MaxTrax traction boards Recovery hooks on the both front and rear. Maybe a receiver with a D-ring for the rear and for the front something like...

      I lost track of the post about the transmission cooler parts, so decided to post this here, too. Light green are the ones I confirmed you can buy direct from Toyota and save a pretty good amount of $$.

      My driveway is long and steep, the rear door sucks LOL. Gravity is a real thing, and that door is heavy. I also tow a Polaris Ranger often and the door with a trailer tongue, and often a dog crate, is a real PITA. Almost 3 years with it and that...

      r2m replied to the thread Fan clutch nuts.
      The OEM part number for the Lexus GX460 engine cooling fan clutch nut is 90178-A0024. This is the standard flanged flange nut used by Toyota/Lexus to secure components along the cooling fan and pulley configuration for the 4.6L V8 engine.

      I lost one nut holding on the fan clutch after a radiator replacement. Can’t seem to find a part # for the nuts. Does anyone have a detailed schematic that identifies them?

      It it's a 14 mm wrench, it's a M10x.1.25 thread; if it's a 12 mm wrench, it's a M8x1.25 thread; and if it's a 10 mm wrench, it's a M6x1.00 thread. As mentioned above any hardware store will have nuts/bolts of these thread patterns for sale...

      About to tackle this once I get parts ordered. I might also just down the Lexus and tackle the valve covers, cam towers, timing cover, water pump, and anything else I can do while I’m in there. Was going to order today, but Black Friday is around...

      Same here I just passed 8000 miles since I added the AT205 with zero issues since. I also just got back from a 8 day 2000 miles road trip I was in eastern TN the Smokey Mountians with 5 people and luggage in the truck. We crossed the mountians...

      Update from me - 4000 miles and no codes, no odd behavior. Doing a drain and fill and completing the transmission cooler installation (factory) this week, then keeping on keeping on. I also pinned the thermostat a few weeks ago.
