Adding undercarriage pictures. First picture shows the frame dull in the middle and glossy on the sides. I missed a spot with a rag during the last wash. The frame is not coated.

**No Longer For Sale** Hi all I have decided to keep it. 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser Sadly it is time to sell my Land Cruiser. I need a truck for a daily driver and simply can’t justify an extra vehicle any longer. I have owned it for the past 2 years and 30k miles and it has been nothing but a...

Sounds like we just missed each other. In retrospect, it probably wasn’t my best decision making moment. I would have felt really silly if I would have come away with body damage after attempting it in those conditions. But I’m thankful with how it all played out.

Made it up Hell’s Gate in full mom car attire with fresh overnight snow on the ground. Wasn’t pretty but happy to have completed it without earning any body damage.

Finally took the plunge and trimmed the rear bumper. Not perfect but happy for now. The end game is a “slider” under the rear bumper edge so it will be trimmed further in the future.

Oh boy, I’m all in on this party. Just spent the week in Moab and didn’t realize how much I would like 40-50mph on rolling 2track. This seems like the ultimate 200 series front end. 👍🏼👍🏼

I was in a similar (identical?) situation in January. My dealer told me they were able to find a remanufactured trans in a warehouse (Toyota from my recollection) but that it was the last one in the US. I didn’t really know if that was believable at the time but what you are saying lines up with...

What an extremely helpful thread! Slight anecdote for my specific scenario incase anyone encounters the same thing. I had been having the typical flashing lights that everybody reports and slow engagement. I started engaging the diff lock and 4lo daily to hopefully get everything smoothed out...

@skmaynard1 sorry for the slow reply I missed it originally. I put in all the spacers 2 front and 1 rear. I actually didn’t read much about it prior to installing. I’m very happy to have put in both front spacers. I don’t like bro lean but rake bothers me as well. I don’t have before...

Added a Wescott designs coil lift for the front and rear and added 285/75/17 KO2s. Very happy with the results. Still need to do some trimming up front but very happy so far. Edited to add: all spacers were used 2 front and 1 rear. Also, spidertrax 1.25 inch wheel spacers used.

@r2m Thank you very much. Very helpful to put a name on it. Thank you.

My wife has a 2015 GX460 and found a nice pothole with her back right wheel this week. I’m having a hard time finding a stock replacement. It seems all the ones I find via google and eBay have a “flat” silver finish. Her wheels seem to have a glossy finish. They do have a fair bit of brake...

We are headed to Little Rock to pick up a GX460 for the wife and plan to stay in Hot Springs tonight. I figured if we are that close to Ouachita NF we needed to get some poser shots in a stock GX. Looking for recommendations on your favorite forest service roads. pics to come. Thanks for your...
