Duracell Gold 27F battery and X2 Power 8A. The charger was brand new, the battery is pretty new as well with ~2000mi on the vehicle and garage kept, charged regularly with an older charger. I am trying to get warranty return or credit.

Brought the battery and the charger to the shop and the battery charger was bad and so was the battery. The new charger was telling me the battery was fully charged when it was in fact dead. I will try another brand charger but first get a maintainer. Replacing both and then need to figure out...

Thanks OG-Z. Possibly could be a bad battery though that would be disappointing as it is basically new. That is my next step. Update. I put it on a more powerful charger. Hooked it up and got inside. FOB locked/unlocked the car and the dash lights worked sporadically. Turned the key with no...

Background: Car is super clean, zero rust vehicle only driven in desert southwest, always garaged, 130k mi, 6months old new high quality battery fully charged both on and off the vehicle. No mods, all stock other than suspension/wheel/tire swap ~7 months ago. Up to this point it has started &...

I just replaced both LCA's on GX470 (@135k, non-KDSS, all original parts) with OEM Toyota 48069/48068-60010, purchased@local dealer for $900. After reading some on this site and watching several youtube videos, I saw there was usually some amount of drama associated with separating the ball...

Agreed.

Thanks for input. My local shop has the tire I want on discount in 275/70r17 but I think I will just pay shipping/order 265/70r17...or find another shop.

09 GX470, new owner. I have looked on GXOR and this site and while there are a few who've used this tire size, no one doing so using FJ steel wheels (42611-35330 17x7.5J). Apologize if I missed it. So, I am wondering if anyone has 275/70r17 mounted on FJ steel wheels and will fit Eibach or...

Has anyone here ever removed the radiator & condenser support bracket and replaced it? Dodged a deer and hit a small wooden fencepost that nonetheless did a number on the front end plastic, pushed the condenser fan into the condenser a bit, dented the radiator support bracket, etc. Body shop...

I will look for this.

No idea if they are correct but my local dealer said I will need to reprogram whenever I swap between my winter and summer wheel/tire sets.

They are a bit of a drive away and did indeed offer to reprogram for free but I would be heading to them to queue ~every 6 months. I'd rather be able to do it on my own because I hope to only need a tire shop visit every 4-5 years for new rubber. This Autel rig is not cheap but seems to do it...

1000mi review: I've been using FJ Steelies w/Toyota center caps and studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV 265/70r17 for ~1000mi now in winter conditions and they are working with no issues...

This would make sense if the OP or someone else could update the information on the "Techstream in 5 minutes" that is now 60-70 pages long.

Thanks, my Toyota parts shop didn't know offset/spec for FJ steelies and thought it was a 4.5" backspace. If I understand correctly from elsewhere on this site and your experience, FJ steelies will still fit around the OEM brakes, calipers, etc. no problem, but with +15mm offset the outside of...
