Thanks for the info. I certainly won't be pushing it beyond 65mph and will not be utilizing 5th gear. My tires are not 10-ply. I'm currently running 4-ply Falken Wildpeaks (265 70/17 115T). It looks like they can handle the job, but I don't really know. What are your thoughts?

Hey Nothinghead. It looks like your pulling in the neighborhood of what I want to be pulling. I've got a 04 GX and I am looking to get a Apex UL 245BHS. The trailer is 24 ft long (27'6" total) with a dry weight of 4,584lb (advertised weight). I'll be using a e2 anti-sway hitch and I am shopping...

Thanks for all the help guys. I am a notorious DIY'er and not afraid to attempt most tasks. After reading over all of the Tcase leak threads for the 5th or 6th time, I've decided to attempt the fix (easy method) myself. Of the people who have posted their experience, they all seem to have...

Hey Everyone, I am a new member and have spent the past few weeks browsing the forum. I've always liked 4runners, but seeing everyone's builds got me really interested in the GX. I had read about all of the problems and was well aware of what to watch out for. Primarily the transfer case leak...
