    I'm Back - 2007 GX Baselining

    Great info - thank you! The previous owner had the trans, and all diff fluids replaced recently, and the brakes are pretty much new all around. He claims that it consumes a tiny bit of oil between changes, so I'll need to investigate the valve covers to see if there's anything going on there...

    HELP - CV Axles & Rear Brakes

    One final question, and it’s a big one-is it okay to drive my GX about 140 miles up to my mechanic with the rear axle seals leaking like this? I’m heading up there next weekend to drop it off, and it will be sitting until then.

    HELP - CV Axles & Rear Brakes

    I got Timken bearings (made in Japan), Lexus axle seals, and CVJ axles - should be a solid fix along with the Aisin timing belt kit and Gates drive belt kit. Again, it's not a 'Car Care Nut' vehicle that's being restored to perfectly new condition - I'm looking for a solid 7000 miles per year...

    HELP - CV Axles & Rear Brakes

    Thanks, Toyoland - appreciate the insight here. That all makes sense, and I'll have my guy look into those fixes. I forgot how much fun it is to baseline an old 4WD SUV that has over 200k miles.

    HELP - CV Axles & Rear Brakes

    Hello again - I recently purchased an 07' GX with 220K miles for $5000. Going into the deal I knew it needed a new suspension, timing belt/water pump (and minor engine baselining), and tires by wintertime. It's not a show vehicle, nor will it see heavy wheeling action - it's a pavement and...

    GX470 / 5th Gen 4Runner Suspension Compatibility

    Wow - incredible information there - thank you! A Metal-Tech conversion kit is definitely happening...is there by chance a promo code for IH8MUD patrons? I had to... Your last comment about the differences on the front struts for the 120 vs. 150 outside of grinding down the lower metal...

    GX470 / 5th Gen 4Runner Suspension Compatibility

    Hello again - hopefully a quick question here - will the front and rear suspension components of a 2021 4Runner (5th gen) fit a 2007 GX470? I found a sweet deal on MarketPlace - $100 for everything, and they only have about 2000 miles on them. I'm not going for a lift - just a comfy ride vs...

    I'm Back - 2007 GX Baselining

    Great feedback - thank you both! I'm looking for the part numbers for all of the other coolant lines besides the upper and lower radiator hoses...I'd sure like to replace those too. I'm just not sure exactly what to get yet. In my initial search I've come up with these two smaller hoses...

    I'm Back - 2007 GX Baselining

    Good morning - I had a 02' Land Cruiser with a rusty undercarriage named Lando Calrissian, and I got rid of it a few years ago....you guys helped me out a lot with that thing, and I appreciate all of your advice along the way. I recently purchased a really nice 07' GX with 220K for...

    Hood latch or cable?

    Thank you - for some reason I remembered the prices being astronomical...but the latch assembly and cable can all be had for around $85 or so and I could do it myself. Running the cable will take some patience, but nothing too difficult I hope.

    Hood Latch Mechanism Failure

    Yes - the hood does pop up once it's released and catches on the lock - to my knowledge they are original but in good shape.

    Hood Latch Mechanism Failure

    Hello! I hope you are all well. I've got an 02' LC w/ 180K - stock. I've searched for the answer here and I haven't come up with anything (outside the suggestion of cleaning and lubing). I pull the lever on the dash and the lever sticks outward indicating the cable is either partly seized...

    Hood latch or cable?

    How did this end up working for you? I have the same problem and it's quite frustrating.

    Leaking Moonroof Drain and Moonroof won't open

    Could there be an issue with the glass sealing properly after reinstalling it? I'm dealing with the same thing and I'd like to not cut, clean and splice the drain hoses from inside the pillars if possible. Taking the glass out makes me nervous thinking I could be creating new leaks after...

    How did this ever turn out for you? I've got the exact same problem with my 02'.

    Interior Leak - Help Greatly Appreciated!

    Awesome - thanks for the advice. I made the novice mistake of buying a salt-belt Cruiser with a rusty undercarriage. I'm the third owner and it's been repainted...no idea why. The amount of information I've learned from this forum is unreal, and a big thank you to everyone who's weighed in on...

    Interior Leak - Help Greatly Appreciated!

    Wow - hopefully that's not the case. I'd sell it before dealing with any of that. I admire your patience and loyalty. I can only get screwed so many times before I give up.

    Interior Leak - Help Greatly Appreciated!

    Awesome - thank you! I watched that video earlier - very good info and if my darn moonroof would just open this job is super simple. I'll tinker with it tonight and see if I can triangulate the source of the leak - good idea for using paper towel. I've got one leak coming down through the...
