Wife backed into a dumpster last night and punched a hole in her rear hatch door. Found a replacement. Running over the steps to do the swap. Pull rear trim disconnect harness Disconnect wiper fluid line - thank you M3GX pull harness pull key lock disconnect door strut/bar unbolt hinges...

Wife mentioned an intermittent message on her nav screen on her 2007 gx470. Check Air Conditioner. She thinks it is occurring when she uses the defroster. She hasn't noticed any flashing lights on the control unit when using it. She did say when the Defrost was running sometimes it was hot...

You are correct. The other one is looking crusty. Was doing the work in the middle of the field where we are camping. Going to order prebent lines and replace both this summer. I have a significant to do list on the GX470 this summer. Brakes, rotors, muffler (someone hack welded a muffler...

Halfway there. My bending skills are not the greatest but it is run through all the clips. 72" flare tip m10x1 was a decent fit. Found it O'Reilly's. Poor guys were the only auto parts store open on the 4th of July. Have about twoish extra inches. Now to remount the gas tank and bleed the...

Good idea. Line fell apart when I tried to loosen it anyways so it is getting replaced. Anyone happen to know the size. Headed to get some line to bend

Think I found it. Looks like the leak is at the transition from hardline to soft line in the rear. Most of fluid was dripping out of the gas skid plate. Looks like I have drop the skid plate to replace the brake line along the frame?

Morning all. Yesterday my wife's GX470 lost most of it's brake fluid. Wife said she hit a rough patch of road and the dashboard lights lit up. Gas tank is soaked in what I assume is brake fluid. Haven't crawled under it yet. Hoping it is just a busted rusty brake line. Replaced rusty...

Currently have a '04 V6 4Runner and the Wife has an 07 GX470. On the 4runner you are looking at. Check the frame cross member under the radiator. It loves to rust out in that location. I bought my 4Runner 3 years ago. At the time I hadn't come across the GX470 or LX470s. After helping my...

This weekend my wife told me that her check engine light would come on whenever the GX470 (2007) sits for 2-3 days. After driving for about 25 miles she says it goes off. Was able to pull the codes this weekend and got P0138: O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 2) P0606: ECM/PCM...

Took advantage of a warm weekend and finished up The Wife's Victory 4x4 roof rack install. Next step is tires, lift, and sliders.

Yeah the LFD bars are very quiet except for the whistle over 60mph. During the winter when snowboard rack is up there it is quiet.

Been using my LFD (4runner) crossbars for 3 winters now. They have worked great for RTT and hauling lumber. I do have whistling from the front crossmember when I hit 60mph. Maybe by adjusting the location it would disappear. Instead I just bolted on a bit of aluminum flatbar to cover the...

Been very happy with my 4runner 3" Dobinson lift from Exit offroad. Mike answered a bunch of questions prior to me ordering. the Wife wants her GX470 lifted so probably will be going with Dobinson again.

My 04 4runner frame and undercarriage looked like that (or at least did when I bought it) when I purchased it with 68k miles two years ago. Granted it had lived in NH its whole life. If my wife wins the bid and meets reserve when I fly down I will be smacking on all the frame components
