I didn't review all 58 pages but it looks interesting. What do you guys think?
What I thought was interesting was the fact that the 4runner leads the LC in many area's. I guess we will have to wait for the next generation LC for it to become the leader again. Example the brakes on the 4runner are bigger, it also carries a larger payload and can tow more weight then the...
There are some reports through the years of Tundra owners with 4.7 V8 engines reporting engine slap. How come there are no reports of this with 100 series or LX470's? Only difference I can see is that the LC/LX engines are built in Japan and the Tundra/Sequoia's are built in USA??
The addition of VVTi seems like more of a non-issue for the 4.7 V8 in our application, tell me if I'm wrong?? Doesn't VVTi benefit you more by adding to your HP at high RPM's? It also flatens the torque curve but were only talken about maybe 10 ft. lbs of torque. To me this is a PR change to...
Check this out. The new GX470/4runner is built in this factory. Looks like Arco is not even in the same ball park.

Could you post what year LC/LX you have and what your owners manual states, regarding what spark plugs you should use (the brand and the number, example Denso 1GG445). Also what does your owners manual state regarding change interval, and what octane gas they recommend.
Thanks
What oil do you use in your 4.7 V8? example-Castrol GTX 5w30.
What Filter do you use? example-Toyota 20004
What oil change interval do you use? example-5000 miles
Your experience with this oil and change interval? Do you think synthetic is needed in the 4.7 V8? How many miles on your 4.7...
The GX470 and 4runner sport run 13.3" front disks versus the Landcruisers/LX470 12.2" front disks. Can you install the larger 4runner frt. disks on the 100 series LC? Wonder why Toyota puts smaller disks on the LC/LX470 and Sequoia? Wonder if it is just old design versus new?
The 100 series Landcruiser uses 5 - 22mm lug nuts, while the new Sequoia's and 4runners use 6 - 21mm lug nuts. I would think that it would be just the opposite? Usually the heavier the truck the more lug nuts.
