Exactly right. Love me some Rosie’s.

I hope he did, but I’m not sure. Maybe I got lucky.

Thanks!! ROLL TIDE

I wish it was just me. I’m intimidated by the engine work, so I let a friend from when I worked at the local Toyota dealership do that.

I liked the wheels and tires, but it wasn’t what I really wanted. Let the research begin.....I decided on a set of Stelth Custom Series SR8’s in dark bronze. No complaints on the BFG’s, in fact they rode great. I just wasn’t quite satisfied with how they filled out the wheel wells. 305/70/17...

I finally got a chance to start doing things more interesting. It was time for a lift. OME Springs and Bilstein shocks, and a Metal Tech spring conversion. A set of 4Runner Snowflake wheels and 285/70/17 BFG KO2ks to finish it off. I couldn’t get it leveled like I wanted, even after adjusting...

Then the threads to the tensioner pulled out with the bolt from the oil pump. After a couple of attempts to re-thread, things escalated quickly!

The first thing I wanted to do was a baseline of regular maintenance. Then the problems started rolling in. The first thing on the list was timing belt, but before it got started this happened...

After having a Land Cruiser for a couple of years, I needed to do some maintenance and maybe some mods. I wanted to do the work myself if I could, but I needed a backup ride. I decided on a GX, and started my search. I took a chance and bought one out of Florida without seeing it in person. Then...

Yep, bought my GX470 from him. Good experience, only a few small issues....but I think that comes with the used car territory. Had an issue after I took delivery and he made it right. As always, do your homework before you buy.

If I did rear spring spacers, would I also need new rear shocks?

I think there’s 4 notches and I believe they are on the second. I’ve let it settle for about 2 weeks, not very many miles though. I do like the idea of going a little taller in the rear instead of down in the front. I’ll look into the coil spacers.

I went with this set up. Any advice on leveling it out? The front is noticeable higher. For some reason I thought the conversion kit would give me that extra inch, I have no idea what made me think that.

Ok, let me rephrase a little. During my test the lights were off, then I pressed the lock button and the running lights (the exterior ones, some people call them side markers) came on and stayed on. Thanks for the info though.

Hi all, I have a 2002 LC, and I usually keep my headlights on Auto. Here lately I've noticed that sometimes my running lights stay on after I've turned off the ignition and gotten out of the LC. I don't know if this is always the case, but I noticed today that they were off when I got out but...
