My 2008 has the original alternator after 122k miles and it works great. Anyone here change theirs out before it gave them issues? Curious if it is a waste of money or worth doing. Thanks,

Brilliant. Thanks so much!

What do you mean? I would assume the Lexus IS better. What do you think?

Is it actually an improvement though to go to 5100? I am worried that Lexus has higher standards than bilstein. I hope I am wrong.

I am curious on just swapping the (4) stock OEM shocks with bilstein 5100s if it will improve the ride. Keep factory air bags and coils but only swap out the stocks. Will it ride better?

Okay so I have a factory suspension and yesterday I purchased: Bilstein 5100 front & rear with new bushings Metal tech 4x4 factory height front springs Metal tech 4x4 stage 3 rear coil conversion kit factory height I didn't want to lift the truck but I wanted to delete the air bags and replace...

I went for an oil change today and my mechanic told me I have a leaky front driver shock. (Also my GX has 122k miles with original suspension). I found a guy on offerup that took off his factory bags, front coils with struts and rear shocks at 120k miles. He is only asking $180 for all of it so...

I am new to aftermarket suspension stuff but I noticed my airbags are old and my front shocks are damp/humid which means they are probably done. My question is...I don't want to lift the vehicle but if I bought Bilstein 5100s and kept it on the factory setting and bought OME springs for the...

I got an 08 and i love the small updates. Chrome trim around speakers and updated navigation.

Nice. You gonna drive your gx till 300k?

How many miles are on your gx? Also, how did you know you needed to replace alternator, pump, radiator and control arms? Are there any indications? Im new to GX world thats why I ask.

I looked up the specs on the 2006 land cruiser which happens to have stupid insanely positive reviews as you would expect. But it has a 4.7 v8 and a 5 speed auto. Isn't that the EXACT same powertrain as the GX470? So in theory, isn't the GX as reliable as a LC that will last 500k miles? I didn't...

Well said. Im going to keep both!

Yes loan on both. I’m tempted to keep both and quit whining. It just sucks paying two insurances but they are two special cars that are discontinued so I might just have to “pay to play”

Why would I get a family mini van? You have no idea what you’re saying. I’m asking which of the two the community recommends not what other vehicle I should get.
