Americas Tire gave me a prorated warranty. I went with the AT4W (standard load). They also suggested keeping as a spare, 4 tire rotations, and replacing the AT3Ws with the 4W when it’s time.

Yes, I'm running the spare AT3W now. Falken got back to me and told me to bring the tire in to an Americas Tire for inspection. They also noted that in my area only Americas Tire is authorized to handle warranties. Hopefully they'll warranty, but if not I think I'm going to be OK. I searched...

A bubble developed on the sidewall on one of my tires (Falken Wildpeak AT 3W 265/70/17). Tread on the tires are about 1/4" so still very good. I do 5 tire rotations every 5,000 miles. I didn't hit anything and only noticed while getting gas. I contacted the shop where I got the tires, but the...

A different independent shop diagnosed his problem as being the brake light switch and relay. They replaced and so far no more lights

Nothing to add but following as my brother has been having the same issue with his 470. The local independent shop he’s used for lots of other work couldn’t figure it out. One of the things they suggested was an ECU issue. He hasn’t gotten around to taking it to the dealer.

I helped a friend replace the rack on his 100. It required jacking up the engine. I remember trying to get the new rack back in was a huge pain. We were ready to pull the oil filter housing even though all the threads we read said it was not necessary. Finally, we got the rack oriented in a...

These are the pics of the accident that resulted in a totaling of the GX.

My brother's GX had a similar rear end accident. The immediately visible damage on his was even less. But apparently the hitch acted as a bit of a lever arm and put a crease in the frame. The insurance company totaled it.

I don't have much to add other than I've also experienced some inconsistent passenger-side leaning of up to 20mm. Truck is sitting level as of now. In my case, going off-road and having the suspension flex seems to help.

I recently picked up the Viair 400H on-board air compressor to mount in my '17 460. Anyone have any experience with this particular model and if so a mounting plate that might fit? So far the only mounts I've been able to find are made for the ARB (e.g., Victory 4x4) . While ARB would've been my...

Looking for a roof rack a GX460. I'm in San Francisco and occasionally travel to LA.

Is the steering rack replacement on a GX460 more involved than a LC 100 series? I helped a friend with a 100 series replace his. It required jacking up the engine too. I recall it being an all day job. Unfortunately we had to do it twice but the second time we completed in half the time.

I'd skip the front KDSS spacer and from talking to Dom he doesn't recommend it anymore either. I ran the my lift for well over a year without the track bar correction kit and front sway bar adapter brackets. So, yes, you can get away without. I eventually installed both. The track bar correction...

I have nothing to add other than to say that sounds like an awesome adventure. I hope you can post some pics and stories.

I got sent a wrong pack of bolts too. I contacted CBI and they sent out the proper package. There were some brackets included with the bumper that I assume were for the inner wheel fenders. I couldn't figure out how to get them attached so I just used zip ties. I kept meaning to contact CBI, but...
