vegasfj40 replied to the thread Wanted: pics of 2.5 lift w/ 31.5 vs. 32.5's.Thanks! Yes, I have the factory installed hitch. I believe the BFG KO2s are slightly undersized compared to other tires. The spare fit fine with maybe a quarter to half an inch of room to spare. You can also try to loosen the bolts on the hitch...

Looks awesome. I just re-installed my tire to under the car position and the 265/65/18 Bridgestone HT tire was so tight to get in. I have the class 3 hitch, I’m guessing you have the same if you’re getting the spare in slightly upsized.

vegasfj40 replied to the thread Wanted: pics of 2.5 lift w/ 31.5 vs. 32.5's.I have Dobinson springs that are more mild at 1 inch lift up front and 1.5 inch lift in the rear. Have 265 65 18s BFGs. The spare is also the same and just fits with the hitch. Might be able to go to 32 in the spare area.

I’m planning on being there with my new van again.

Well, you can see if you can get a set of OEM GX springs off one of the forum members who just added a lift. This wouldn't cost anything more than your time doing the R&R. If it works great! If not, you know you'll need aftermarket. Jake McCurdy...

vegasfj40 replied to the thread OEM GX460 springs….Not sure if the stock GX springs will help you. I replaced my springs with Dobinsons and that helped my nose dive. I got about an inch or so of lift with the ones I installed. I'll be heading to Flagstaff tomorrow, maybe I can find room to...

I think all you need to do is loosen your KDSS valve, get a 4x4 block, drive the rear driver's wheel onto it slowly, stop the vehicle, re-tighten KDSS valve and it should then be about level for you. I had the same issue after installing leveling...

Why not use those TRD wheels on your GX?

Always fun to get the first post out of the way.. Recently traded in my '21 Tacoma (TRD Sport 4x4... pretty much fully loaded) for this '14 with 96,XXX on the clock. Soon to hit 100K!! All I can say about the trade is... SO GLAD I DID IT...

In this weeks episode we’ll watch Jake in over his head trying to install a Ironman Foam Cell Pro lift kit on his GX460. Grab a beer and your paint spattered jeans… We’re going to pretend to be mechanics for the next 15 minutes!

What was the mechanics justification and what is the car? I am a mechanic and I have done a crazy amount of experimenting on Toyota and Lexus vehicles that call for premium. On an 80 the ecu does not react fast enough to pull timing when...

Our 80 series are bricks on wheels, a lot of wind resistance, so IMHO there's not a lot we can do to increase MPG. IME the obvious things that may make a small improvement (but not much) would be correct timing (or advanced a few degrees), fresh...

vegasfj40 replied to the thread P0420 Exhaust Leak Bubbles Between Cats 1 and 2..I had the same issues a couple of years ago. I tried sealing between the cats. I didnt have any leaks at the Y. Ended up replacing the rear cat with a new OE cat and that solved it. What surprised me was Toyota had no core charge on the new...

vegasfj40 replied to the thread "Chasing MPG in my 80 series Lx450" How I increased my gas mileage..I am usually at 15 to 16 on the hwy. Usually cruising around 65 to 70. But like others have said, I don't drive it daily.

The best way to get better gas mileage out of your 80 is to buy a commuter car s***box and keep the 80 for road trips. I have a 2005 echo I beat on daily.

I will be fishing.... and picking apart the north shore back country of Ute Lake. Working on some lake oriented wheeling adventures for the club. In the meantime, check out these FREAKING AMAZING 55 pics. My last trip to Co I found some of...

Is that coolant or oil or condensation mixed with soot from a poor burn? Change ALL your plugs, wires, cap and rotor to OEM. Then see how it behaves.

I’d test for a bad head gasket as well just to rule it out. They’re known to fail around the 6.

While you are in there can get pretty far and deep.... But if you are, and you should, replace the heater valve, then you should be going after the peaky heater hose too... Now you can bundle a bunch of other stuff in there to make some of those...

WK2 was very comfy and decently capable, but, was honestly, at only 60k miles, starting to feel like a ticking time bomb for major repairs. Plastics cracking, engine mounts going out, jumpy transmission when cold, steering rack, etc, etc. not to...
