Any 265/70R17 is going to fit like a champ. I will say this about any legit all-terrain type tire. Most moderately aggressive all terrain tires are going to end up getting noisy 1/2 way through their lifespan. The stock GX470 is a very quiet truck when everything is operating smoothly, and...
Was this slight rubbing observed off road or just normal everyday driving? Did you get a chance to fully flex the suspension and see if it rubs while turning with a tire stuffed in a fender?
Thanks for the suggestions. Today I rotated the tires X-style as I noticed the treads were feathering a little. This may have made a little difference, I am not sure. But at least when the tires wear down some opposite the current feathering pattern, maybe it will quiet down some. Than at...
I got the tires in September of 2021, so I have been running them for a little over 2 years now. I am kind of unsure about how many miles are on them...maybe 35K or so. It was just weird that all was quiet, or I thought it was, and then after that big 600 mile day I started noticing it. I...
I drove about 1,200 miles on a recent road trip. After about 600 miles to the destination I started getting a noise right at 40 mph, with a slight vibration. It starts at 40 and then continues up until highway speed. Constant slight humming, depending on vehicle speed, not RPM. For some...
What an awesome observation. Makes a lot of sense.
I ride dirtbikes in woods/single-track and noticed that when we ride if there is snow on the ground it leads to the pads wearing down really fast. I have attributed it to snow and ice hitting the pads/rotors and causing too much of a...
I agree with mercedeezel on the seized caliper. You may not notice it but if the caliper is not letting the piston retract back in enough the pad will stay in contact with the rotor too much, leading to the buildup of pad material on the rotor as mentioned above. This will lead to the...
They are expensive ($328) but the timing of this repair is not allowing me to do it myself. Otherwise I might take the time and reboot it. I ordered the expensive CVJs with their RED differential side boot and the OEM wheel side boot. Again I am only "lifted" about 1-1.5 inches in the front...
Which CVJ axle should I get if I have a simple 1" coil over type lift. I have the Bilstein 6112 ride height adjustable coil-over setup in the front. This really is not a lift as all it does is move up the ride height within the stock travel. They have a "No Lift - Stock Angle" option and a...
I can't believe nobody asked this question but what springs did you put in the rear? You put springs in the rear of the truck when you took the bags out correct?
I guess I am looking for a quality air vent option. I really like the GX460 mount that is made by the company ProClip. I am going to contact them and see if it will work for a GX470. That is exactly what I am looking for. Those other ones you attached are way more than I need.
I am looking to mount my iPhone se in my GX, preferably to the right of the steering wheel. I have found a decent mount for the GX460 but not for the GX470. The one I found for the GX460 mounts into the air vent. Do they have something like that for the GX470?
You can get new Arnott air bags and trick the rear suspension sensor to lift the rear by an inch or so. Then get Bilstein 6112 front shocks with the spring set in the second to lowerst perch. I also got Bilstein shocks for the rear. This gives about 1.25" of lift and maintains a factory...
A couple years back I picked up an AAE rack for my 3rd gen 4Runner. It appears to be a quality unit and I have had no issues with it. I see it is available on rock auto for multiple years for GX470. I did some research on AAE before I purchased the rack and they seem legit.
Man....There is so much truth to this. The comfort and daily driver performance of a C load tire can not be over-looked.
So many people do everything at one time - wheels - suspension lift - tires - and then wonder why the truck is not smooth anymore. When the majority of the time it is not...
