Bumping this back to the top. The above didn’t fix the issue. Didn’t bother to update it again but after a 12 hour road trip this past weekend I’d like to figure it out.
Planning on replacing the windshield next month so that will narrow that out. It’s definitely coming from the driver side...
Thought the 2020+ came with the factory with the transmission cooler?
I added the factory cooler to my 2018. Just pinned open the thermostat but haven’t drove it yet.
Different vehicle but I installed a B&M Hi Tek cooler, it has a built in fan and temp sensor that makes the fan come on at...
Interested in this as well. Most will probably say just keep it in 4th gear. Torque converter locks in 4th gear and up. Not sure if it’s able to lock in gears any lower than 4th.
First considered a 4runner for my wife as I have a 4th Gen. Both 4runner and 460, same year and mileage the GX was the same price if not a little cheaper. GX premium trim vs 4runner Limited.
Big things for me was the V8 and 6 speed, AWD with low range and CDL, and probably overlooked was the...
All the parts needed for the OEM cooler is listed on the club Lexus post above. I followed everything in that thread when I installed mine. Prices have went up since that thread was made though.
It talks about pinning the thermostat open but I haven’t on mine. No towing but it will get up to...
I’d try that test again feeling if it comes from either of the outputs or the transfer case input.
If it’s not your DD and if your confident it’s in the transfer case I’d pull it yourself. And inspect it from there. I’m interested in the outcome

I’m swapping the housing into my AWD 4Runner so the diff tube...
How many miles are on your rig? You state a 2nd gear shudder? Does it only do it at a certain RPM and/or MPH? Tried using the 2nd start feature? Possible torque converter issue?
I’d get the tires 100% balanced before throwing hard parts at it.
The transfer case is just a torsen diff that can be locked. There are several that have been able to drive home with a broken CV with the center diff locked.
I would be surprised if it would move at all without the front driveshaft with the transfer case unlocked.
I’ve had mine almost a year now and put almost 10k miles on it. (Secondary vehicle) Always used 87, never an issue. It was a off lease buy and I doubt the original owner put premium in it.
I’ve had a 4.7 V8 4runner for four years and it’s always had 87. I’m very close to sea level also.
Update. Found the issue, apparently the windshield was replaced at some point. There was two plastic push pins missing one on each side of the lower windshield/wiper blade trim. Thanks for all the input
I will check the wheel liners tomorrow before work. Currently working nights.
I believe I removed and reinstalled both front wheel liners when I removed the front bumper for the OEM trans cooler install. And the noise was there before I did that.
I’m pretty sure the sound is coming from the...
I have done that with a leaf blower to see any trim pieces moving with no avail. With the blower or compressed air it would be louder than the actual noise. Not in the vents, it does it with ac blower off or full blast it doesn’t change.
Looking at other threads it might lead to the speaker...
Hello everyone a have a 2018 GX460 that I’m trying to track down a tapping/wind noise issue. I bought it used and it has done it every day since. It seems to be coming from the drivers side bottom edge of the windshield. It only happens at 55mph and faster. It sounds to be a loose trim piece...
Do you have any recommendations for pre made body mount chop plates? I see several companies offering them some just for the 460. My 4th gen has the same tire size WITH spacers and the body mount hasn’t been touched.
Hello everyone I have a 2018 GX460 premium that is currently stock. I have a set of 4runner TRD takeoff wheels with Nitto ridge grapplers 285/70R17 that I would like to install.
I’m looking to go with the Daystar spacer lift, (little to no off-roading). I am keeping the factory running boards...
