You're description of your 80 is awesome. Lol

Signatures lines are serious business...

U should add roll around tires, sit down seats and see through windows. Lol

Took the GX to a dirt field this morning and got the CDL to finally work! Looks like I'm clear to start building this now!

I need help clearing the Airbag light on the dashboard. I'm not interested in paying the dealer 2500 to fix some Airbag issue. Anyone know how to clear it other than taking out the instrument cluster and removing the bulb?

Which airbag light?

I haven't. I just bought the GX a few days ago. Should I drop by the dealership?

I would say yes, but they might tell you that since the light is on, that you should drive it. maybe just call and find out about it.

thank you

View attachment 1539674I have bilstien 5100's with stock 4th gen 4runner springs in rear. So happy with this setup, it's great on washboards and they give you extra travel over stock. For the price it's a great value.

i pulled out the airbags, had the Southern Style Speed adapter put in with 5100s and FJ springs front and rear. Now it feels like the OEM 5th gen 4runner did--bouncy, and like i'm close to bottoming out on the rear every time i hit a bump. I don't know what other choices are out there to stay near stock height other than OEM Toyota springs.

The Toytec Bilstien lift kit is what I'm leaning towards right now. I need a smooth suspension.

I would be more concerned with resolving the fault than simply eliminating the light - airbags are there for a reason! I bought a ~$20 Techstream cable from Amazon and use that. You can view all codes (more than just OBDII) that way.

Call first and tell them you haven't had the recall. Then they can order the parts and schedule an appointment. It only takes a couple of hours. The dealership will give you a free loaner and should fill up your tank for you when they get done.

 

[EWiz]

Thank you I will give that a try

According to the dealer there's no recall for my Airbag issue. I ordered the Techstream for further diagnosis
