    Rear air suspension - Factory option? Or standard?

    Was the rear air suspension on the GX470’s an option or standard equipment? I ran across a very much stock 2005 GX470 and there’s no air/suspension control panel. Just one of those small pockets. From talking to the owner, they didn’t have any idea. Of course, they’re not the original owners...

    Owners opinions that had trucks..

    I’m not really going to argue this topic. I’ll just leave it at this. Prior gen F150 had a 7,500lb GVWR (some configurations with HD payload package went to 8k lbs) Current Gen F150 is right at 7,000lbs Tundra is 7,200lbs Same class does NOT mean same GVWR.

    There’s always the extender you could get. But utility wise, longer is better. A friend of mine won’t touch a truck without an 8’ bed.

    GVWR is calculated by the capacity those components can handle.

    Owners opinions that had trucks..

    Yes, I remember the commercials and pamphlets. But again, it’s more about suspension, braking, and other components other than aluminum panels. This is why F250’s have 3k lb payload.

    Heat not working in 100 series land cruiser

    Did you check engine temp? It may be as simple as changing out the thermostat. Hopefully not an issue with the heater core.

    Owners opinions that had trucks..

    Agreed, I wouldn’t worry much if you’re not over on a regular / permanent basis. I don’t think the aluminum body contributes much to the payload. Maybe some. Suspension, brakes, etc play big roles (ie Look at the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks). Riding in my truck vs family/friends’ Tundras, the F150...

    Owners opinions that had trucks..

    The old truck vs SUV debate. So many factors to consider. For my usage, if it came down to just one, it’d be a truck. For never ending house projects, annual runs to the dump, ski/bike hauling, nasty fishing gear, etc. I’ve got a 2019 F150 which has been an awesome truck with zero issues. I was...

    Which 100

    I had a 100 years ago (2000 LC) which was great. Now I’m looking to get back into one. My usage would be a daily driver 90% of the time (usually 5-6k miles per year). Then family camp trips, which would typically be fine in a stock rig with minor mods like roof rack and rear storage. But a...

    What motor oil do you use in your GX470?

    I agree with the tech on sticking with either conventional or synthetic. I chose synthetic because I can go twice the miles before change (usually 9-10k miles). So in the long run, it costs less. (I also test the oil via Blackstone occasionally. 2UZ is easy on oils). I use Costco Kirkland...

    Considering a Sequoia for a family rig

    Quick question: I’m looking at a few 2nd gen’s. One is a 2008, another 2012 and a 2015. Of course, the 2008 is cheaper (~$10.9k with 169k miles). The 2012 and 2015 are $17-19k, both with around 130k miles. Other than the difference in mileage, any reason to go with the newer models? If not...

    Considering a Sequoia for a family rig

    G20 Gen 4 here, but I had an itch last month and almost picked up a Sig Emperor 45acp. Couldn’t quite “pull the trigger,” as I really want a Colt 1911.

    Tandem Off-Road 2G Sequoia Platinum Lift System Install Instructions

    A couple of Sequoia’s I’ve looked at had airbags. I don’t mind them. I had them on my old GX470, which performed well. But I was always leery of them failing at the worst time. ie Way out in the backcountry. So I installed some Tiembren bumpstops. Which I hoped would allow me to limp home...

    Aftermarket brakes for 2nd gen Sequoia

    I typically like to stick with OEM. I’m sure bigger aftermarket brands like Powerstop and EBC are fine, though. But avoid something like Autozone or Pepboys pads.

    Considering a Sequoia for a family rig

    Nice Sequoia! So, is getting a 1911 a prerequisite to ownership?

    Considering a Sequoia for a family rig

    The Platinum is nice but I don’t want 2nd row captains (every one I’ve looked at has them). My wife has that in her vehicle. With 3 kids, I want to get rid of the 3rd row for max cargo capacity.

    Considering a Sequoia for a family rig

    I’m currently looking for a new vehicle for my family of 5 and a dog. I considered getting another LC, but they’re too small. I currently have a full-size truck, but it’s a bit too long for some of the spots we like to go to. Typical usage will be for a weekend camp out with the family. And...

    285/70/17 Tires Rubbing on Stock LC200 - OEM Spacer Lift Solution?

    I’m wondering if simply using a heat gun to push them back a bit would do the trick.
