    Changing the leather

    Upholstery always seemed like this voodoo origami skill but honestly with the correctly cut pieces and a cheap pair of hog ring pliers, it's a oil change kind of complexity. Just takes a bit of time. I also bought a set of these armrest covers as the drivers side was pretty worn out. They slip...

    Changing the leather

    2003 To 2009 Lexus GX470 Driver & Passenger Bottom Leather Seat cover color Tan | eBay Here is the one I bought. There is a grey leather interior gx470 so don't order this if you have grey.

    Changing the leather

    In the final image, the description provides a link to the place in Texas. eBay listing. Quality stuff. Looks OEM. All the pics have a bit of description. Not sure if that is obvious.

    Firestone Destination AT 275/70/17, 2.5" lift Probably the best all around tires I've had.

    Best Mod for under $100

    Tow strap with loops. Longer the better. I second on the Baofeng UV5R unlocked 2M 440. Also does unlicensed FRS MURS bands (though not legally)

    GX470 Octane - Just some research is all-Talk among yourselves.

    I have the VVti motor and definitely tell the difference in 89 and 91 octane, but only when towing. I'm sure 87 or 85 would lead to more spark retard and be more noticeable. That being said, the motor runs on any fuel. I SC'd my 3.4l 3rd Gen 4Runner. Not running 91 in that motor was rather...

    GX470 - Brake upgrade options?

    After my little exercise, the brakes were better but when they get warm/hot they still shudder. To many miles with them overtorqued or just cheap rotors that won't last. Got some Brembo blanks with matched pads. Issues are gone. The gx470 pads are the same as the 231mm tundra ones that is a...

    GX470 - Brake upgrade options?

    Hey I know this is an older thread but I've been chasing vibration on Toyotas for years and never coming to a good resolution. After talking to a friend/attorney, he told me about a case he was involved in where a big rig wheel came off and hit someone. Long story short, the wheel was aluminum...

    GX 470 CB Antenna Mount Rear Door

    I have a cheap Baofeng UV5R handheld and have talked to people off repeaters who are 70 miles away. Typically my distance to the repeater is under 10 miles and line of site. Baofeng's are unlocked radios and work great. Though not licensed to do so, they can transmit on FRS/GMRS 440 and MURS 2M...

    98 4runner throttle response problem

    Clogged fuel filter? Does it happen repeatedly or just at startup? Maybe a bad TPS otherwise. Does it happen near empty tank ie pump got loose?

    90 series and 120 series Rear diff, differences??

    From memory 1.2 or 1.5 liter/quart. Just fill to the bottom of the fill hole. Maybe that's the xfer case and the axle is 2.5.

    120 series Photos!

    Gold Mt. Had to wait for a couple Jeeps to get winched. I got a few WTF looks. Not that some of our group didn't struggle and we had one almost flop.

    3rd Gen 4Runner or 1st gen Tundra for first car

    A '91 will have a tow rating of 3500lb. A third Gen 4Runner with the bigger motor and brakes has a 5000lb rating (and you can put the Tundra brakes on it for even more stopping power.

    What to watch out for when buying a 4runner?

    Timing belt records would be good. Usually written on the belt cover. Needs swapping every 90-100K.

    90 series and 120 series Rear diff, differences??

    120 series have disk brakes instead of drums. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    The Sequoia....odd man out

    Very nice. I only occasionally see Sequioas on the trail. I believe they are actually based on the 90 series platform. Likely 90 series parts are what will fit it. 90 series include the Landcruiser Surf, 3rd Gen 4Runner, 1st Gen Taco and early Tundras. Obviously components vary but that'll be...

    New Lexus gx 470

    The mirror tilt computers also seem to go bad so everytime you backup, they won't reset. The cheap fix is to leave the control switch in the middle so they don't tilt and lose adjustment.
