    ATF fluid change on 2007 GX470. Engine on or off when pulling level plug ?? (Did I mess up?)

    Will do. It’s up on 4 identical ramps, so should be good.

    ATF fluid change on 2007 GX470. Engine on or off when pulling level plug ?? (Did I mess up?)

    Much appreciated. It’s still up on the ramps, so off with the atf cooler hose, pump in a couple of litres and I’ll try again. ! Thankyou.

    ATF fluid change on 2007 GX470. Engine on or off when pulling level plug ?? (Did I mess up?)

    Heater T's failure - fixed with PEX t's

    Heater T's failure - fixed with PEX t's

    I'm a long time lurker, first time poster, with a 2002 LC 100 that came over from Phoenix to Alberta a year ago (164000 miles right now). Hopefully this isn't a thread hijack (It's on topic). I found this particular thread after being stranded by the cruiser on Friday due to my Heater T...
