I have a slight bit of rust on my 04 GX, nothing major, but would get worse if not treated as is with all of these vehicles. Wondering if I should go down the route of sanding it all down and using Por-15? Or, will a yearly application of Fluid Film do the job just fine? I don't mind what's on...
Well, the two really big ticket items are water pump / timing belt as well as the entire steering pump system replacement. All CV boots and all fluids swapped. All rotors and pads were serviced and the throttle body was serviced as well. Along with all of the other smaller ticket items.
I took...
Sorry for the delay, have been out of town. A list of repairs completed in March of 2017 at ~207,000 miles is included below (the $7k service performed by the previous owner). Since I have purchased, I have replaced both front wheel bearings, rear air suspension swapped for Bilsteins, and front...

- Bilstein 5100 33-187174 shocks (4Runner shocks)
- MetalTech Stage 1 kit
- OEM coil spring insulator part #4830235040
The GX rides like a dream now - much better...
Awesome, thank you for this recommendation, I appreciate it! Is there a reason you wouldn't recommend using Moog springs? Specifically Moog 81081 for the rear (these are for the FJC)
I also cannot get the compressor to kick in - it worked well prior to yesterday morning. No when I hit high/low it blinks (and will stay on high) but the compressor never engages.
Everything worked perfectly prior to yesterday morning, no bag leak, no issues. Only to start the car and the whole thing was lowered and the bags do not inflate. I feel like either the compressor totally crapped out or it needs to be reset.
I would love to try the reset as the suspension worked 12 hours prior (the night before it died). However, I have a non-nav unit - do you know where I can find how to reset the air system?
