Has anybody used the 470 rails on a 460? To my understanding, the measurements of the 3 attachment points are the same (I think). The end caps may fit funny, but maybe something could be fabbed/fit/persuaded into place?
Selling a complete set of 18” chrome Lexus rims (should work for most Toyota’s that can use an 18” rim) with TPMS and lug nuts with mounted Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires. These tires have 9/32” tread depth left (new is 12/32) so they are still relatively new and work great in the snow! Tires...
After selling my beloved 1993 Prado about a month ago, I started my next chapter with a 2010 GX460 Premium from Texas. Started its life with me at 114k...
Previous love and new love begrudgingly sharing the same “bed”.
This marks my VERY FIRST started thread in 150 area! Sold my Prado last week and it is time to build the Lexus...so here is my question:
Has anybody used the Freedom A-Arm while fitting 285/75/17s? I will be doing a BMC and installing Dobinson 3” front and 2” rear. Local guy that I trust says...
I have never used BAT and have no experience with them...
Even though I didn’t expect my Prado to go quickly, I am wondering if BAT makes sense. Any words of wisdom on selling here?

So I have been thinking the KZJ78 has a 5 speed automatic transmission for the last year and had somebody else tell me it is actually a 4 speed. Have I been writing g this entire time??!
I have a 93 KZJ78 with the 1KZ-TE engine in it. It has 250K KMs on it with zero indications of any head issues. Safe assumption that the head has been replaced at some point in its past life?
What is everyone’s preference for a rear receiver? Anybody have a line on an aftermarket bolt on solution or is everyone just fabbing one? I will eventually get a rear metal bumper but would like a solution for a light trailer in the mean time.
Covered area I know - I have read about the usual suspects, Duck and Escape, but has anybody come up with any other good seat cover options lately? Hopefully a little more economical?
once upon a time there was a 48 year old guy whose life was just too darn complication free. He was married with 2 kids and a beautiful wife and drove a nicely set up 2010 4Runner that was very dependable and a pretty sweet truck. He had always longingly looked at Defenders and G-Wagons, and...
What would you guys think of adding a sticky with a list of things to do after becoming a first-time owner of one of these incredible rigs? I have owned my truck for about 9 months and have figured things out with the help of all of you here, but we are getting more and more people buying these...

Thanks!
My EGTs still seem hotter than they should be. Let me tell a tale...
I have a 1993 KZJ78 with 249K kilometers on the clock. Purchased this vehicle from an importer last December.
Things done:
3” dump pipe and exhaust.
EGR delete and intake manifold clean
Spill control valve turned back about...
For the people out there that trimmed down the diameter of their fans, how much did you worry about it balancing and did you have any issues with fan blade balance after the fact?
My mind tells me to be super concerned with balance, but wondered if there was any feedback from guys that have done it?
I am about ready to embark on the task of removing my intake manifold in order to clean it, and then do an EGR delete. As somebody that doesn’t have the mechanical knowledge base as most of the guys on the board, I find myself very reliant on detailed instructions (preferably, with a lot of...
