    Washer Bottle Relocate

    I ran 35's and as the person above said...it depends on the alignment and wheel offset...I did it when it went to 37's (at which point its mandatory )

    Hi there, has a anyone found a way to mount a standard Toyota switch there? Or even a source for the blank plates that gx460 without AHC have? (I would like to put a kids on/off with where my ride control switch is...)

    Upgrade power steering pump?

    I've had this come loose a bit on me...and lubed and tighted this earlier this year. Mainly I noticed that when I had my front locker engaged it was IMPOSSIBLE to steer when last year it was just very difficult.

    Upgrade power steering pump?

    So you think the pump is just going? or the rack? I was looking at the RCLT with the tundra rack...but i put lockers and regeared the truck earlier this year so i've maxed out the fun budget lol. it's not that bad, i'm quite conservative/cautious about the lines i take...but as you...

    Upgrade power steering pump?

    My power steering (2016 GX, 130k km) with 35's is starting to have weak power steering. Everything works well, but for example the other day I had deflated a tire to lower the vehicle to work on it...and was unable to dry steer the vehicle. Is something wearing out? Is there just a pump...

    Washer Bottle Relocate

    I'm going to reply to this just to in case someone searches for it. I've installing the Expedition One kit - IMHO it's WAY over priced. I have a Canadian 2016 GX460 so it has the headlight washers. I had to drill 2 more holes for the fluid level indicator and the headlight washer. It's a...

    2016 gx460 Air Suspension Stuck on 'high' setting

    Hey, no it's still on the 'high' setting. Even when i adjusted it up, i only had to raise it about 1". So on the high setting it sits about 2" higher then the new norm. It's the strangest thing. I know poeple pull the bags, but i really like the adjustability and i've had no issues so far...

    2016 gx460 Air Suspension Stuck on 'high' setting

    Hi All, so here is what i have tried so far. I have a 2.5" Fox Front lift and for the last 3 years i've had the rear air suspension 'adjusted' up to match, it's been good offroad. (i have a bunch of other mods, but unrelated to this). This also all started after i was carrying a heavy load...

    Replace rear AVS shocks with regular shocks?

    I did this - no issues. IN fact the aftermarket shock were better.... i tossed out the actuator and just tied up the harness.

    Has anyone ever converted to an electric fan? On a gx460 specifically?

    And my truck has this...so I guess I'll be staying with the stock fan :)

    Has anyone ever converted to an electric fan? On a gx460 specifically?

    I randomly got tired of the fan noise...and also figured it might be worth a few hp and be defeatable in water... Has anyone done this? I think you would need 2 fans with a full shroud to complete with the mechanical fan?

    Should I pass on this 16 GX?

    i have the same truck (loaded, air suspnsion, adaptive cruise) with a 2" front spacer lift, adjusted the rear air spring sensor (only about 1"), running 35's, 1" BL and agressive bumper cuts (on the front i made a plate to fill from the bumper to under the radiator support out of 3/16th...go for...

    Why did Toyota drop lockers for the Prados?

    YES, I think the MTS would would have made a HUGE difference. I wheel with about 3 other newer 4runners all with the rear locker. And on many occasions MTS seems to work better (over all). sometimes they can walk up stuff that i struggle with (but still make it up) but they are often left...

    Removing AVS for lift install

    HI there, i'll be installing a proper lift, what do people do with the AVS - how much of it can be taken out? I can't remember if the servo's are part of a harness or not... I"ll be keeping the air suspension and building 2" spacer's for the bags...we'll see how that works...but it's served...
