    Axle - Gears - Lockers GX470 Upgrade Thread

    Every so often I feel like I MAYBE should have gone with 4.88's instead of 4.56's for 35's then I drive on the freeway and realize 4.56 is the perfect choice for 35's. 5.29's would be way to much for 35's unless you planned on trailering your rig for dedicated rock crawling.

    That looks awesome! I think you're going to be really happy with the added performance of the headers and the feel of the new mounts. I imagine with that amount of sag in the old mounts, you were experiencing some drive line slop you probably never knew was there. Very clean looking install!

    show me your axe...

    Just rehung an old Norlund for my son. We made the wedge from some cherry that fell in a storm.

    I actually purchased all new studs and OE nuts. The studs of mine that didn't come out during the OE manifold removal were removed using a stud extractor. I chased the holes and reinstalled all the studs, then hung my headers and put all the nuts back on. I installed the long tube headers, but...

    Nice looking spot I just drove through that area myself. I was in the Mt Hood national forest three weeks ago and the fire ban signs were still up. No fun...

    I camped at Chimney Rock in the Sierra's two weeks ago and it was 33* when I woke up. The seasons are definitely changing! Looks like it's time for a resonator delete.

    Looks like you're doing it right! Are those factory motor mounts?

    Oh wow! Those original mounts were pretty compressed! Something else to add to the to-do list, I guess.

    With my tire carrier covering my reverse lights, I really need to finish wiring in my Prado reverse lights. I'm sure it would be done if it didn't require pulling out my fridge and drawers to access the wires!

    I had the same issue, but I removed my motor mounts to get the nut on. I was too nervous that after a few heat cycles a leak could develop.

    Those studs have a real nack for coming out with the nut. Hats off to you for keeping them all in place! It's been a while since I did the dreaded header job, but if memory serves, the driver's side is the toughest.

    V-bands are the way to go! While you're doing your motor mounts you might want to look at replacing your transmission mount too. That way your complete motor suspension system is fresh.

    Light at the end of the tunnel! I'm sure you'll be thrilled not to have to pull a header again for some time when this job is over.

    What Did You Do With Your 120 Today?

    I broke my factory roof rack at the mounting feet by mounting a RTT to extruded aluminum cross bars. There's a post about the extruded cross bars where I discuss it and posted pictures. I don't have the exact number in front of me but the factory rails are designed to carry something like 70...

    Anyone seen this grill for sale anywhere?

    There's a guy on this forum who I believe lives in Turkey. He sometimes lists Prado parts for sale. I recall right when the garage alpha grill was coming out, he was debuting this grill. It got barely any interest and just faded away. There was a post about it though. It's somewhere in the...
