Awesome! What do we have to do to see the back? 😎

@Acrad, @r2m and @Rednexus, your willingness to help guide new members to solutions is truly admirable. Looks like @danieltoyota did the research and is right...and will most likely need to spend money at a trusted mechanic. GX560 owners just don't have a strong knowledge base on this site.

🤣 Maybe a grounding spike or something? There has been heavier traffic of construction/demo trucks in that area recently... It was a little deformed and pretty corroded before I picked it up. The other end had lodged against the wheel so that should give you an idea of length. I'm just...

Lost one from my 2 year old set of 5 Falken Wildpeak AT3's in 265/65R18 SL (~35k on them) yesterday morning to a thing. This is the first flat I've experienced as a Falken customer since 1998, so I've got nothing bad to say about them. I've still got 9/32" at the shallowest point in tread, so...

You'll be fine. Don't eat them. Take it to a good shop and lose it for a day. Took me about 8 hours (with some other replacements) but I hired a good sitter for the kids. Good luck!

Yep. My (later added) factory remote start is like a 60-70 foot range. I've had Alpine, Clarion(UNGO), Python and Viper alarm systems over the years which included remote start. None of them gave me problems but the Python in my last 4Runner. None of them produced similar issues to what...

Looking at your last pic, it appears you had a nasty one. Were you able to detect/identify the leakage before breaking it down?

Friends of ours couldn't make it and transferred their campground for the weekend. Can't complain even with the smoke and weather. Kids found lots of seashells. I still need to check out Tom's Cove on my next visit. If you get out there for the day or to overnight, protect your food. I...

You can barely make out the sun in the first pic. Even here (Assateague, July 17), the effect from the fires was impossible to avoid. When the breeze hit just right, you could feel it...must have been far worse for those closer to the fires. We had broken blue skies this morning before...

Welcome to the club! I did the valley plate seal and my water pump around that mileage. It does feel better when it is behind you.

I've got all the parts ready to do my fronts this Thursday. Seized piston on passenger side. No dragging because it is stuck before contacting pad. Only noticed it when prepping to do pads/rotors last month.

Congrats on the purchase. I think you'll find that 17" is the smallest wheel you can work with due to brake caliper clearance.

Just a suggestion...I am hesitant because I may keep defrost but lose auto-dimming (luxury first-world problems). I may dive anyway because other options are horrible: Shop - Clearview - https://www.clearviewaccessories.com.au/shop/?wpce_search=1086381&post_type=product

I use the following: https://www.blauparts.com/lexus-gx460-transfer-case-differential-fluid-change-kit.html Easy fill format.

OEM radiators are pretty good...and cheap compared to the costly prize you win for not monitoring for coolant loss regularly. I think I'm the only guy with the hood open, checking levels while gas is pumping at the stations around here. Occasionally someone will ask if I'm broke down. 🤣
