    Sourcing and Replacing Upper and Lower Side Trim in Cargo Area

    An autowrecker will be the best, those are low demand so they probably won't cost a lot. They usually end up in the crusher anyways. Changing them isn't that hard, just find all the clips and get them loose.

    Improvised underhood wiring project

    Just a little bit of improvements to the rats nest I started with. Originally I just left my winch disconnected at the battery to guard against fire risk and I had four fuse taps in various places powering various things. Worked well enough but with time I would forget what fuse taps were on...

    GX460/5th Gen 4Runner rack

    I had to do a zero point calibration a couple of times to get it to take fully. The only issue I had was that the VSC got a little too easy to activate in some very niche conditions, usually coming down my steep driveway and turning hard at the bottom to go onto the street. Mind you, I'm heavy...

    GX470 Power Steering Rack and Pinion

    Maybe 8000 miles, had it off road a bit including an off-road park. The ratio is slightly different but I adapted to the change within a couple days despite having this truck a decade. My only issue that happened around the same time was the traction control sometimes beeped for a second when...

    GX470 Power Steering Rack and Pinion

    The GX460 rack and tie rods are all bigger already, and when you order a rack from toyota/lexus you get new tie rods. I used a 9/16 drill bit to open them up, and you want to buy two GX460/5th gen 4runner bolts and nuts to replace your old ones. The rest is direct bolt on. It's slightly harder...

    GX470 Power Steering Rack and Pinion

    Not saying it's bad, but you could buy a GX460 rack for less than half of just getting the base Toyo one and not have to ream spindles. It just requires the two mounting holes to be drilled out a bit bigger.

    Lower Control Arms

    I did the bushings and ball joint at 170000 miles or so in the Pacific Northwest climate and it was a real bear. One downside over OEM is that you can’t get an OEM ball joint, sankie 555 is probably the best you can go. Of the four bushings one came out fairly easy with heat and a large...

    4Runner Rear Axle Assembly compatibility?

    The only issues are KDSS and spring perches. If you have KDSS you’d be better to look at TRD off-road 5th gen pulls as they have the KDSS mounts. If you have swapped to springs they bolt up and are the stronger 8.2 plus have a factory locker you can get wired for about $100. Downside...

    Underhood source of ignition switched power

    Is there something sensible to get this off of, or do I need to relay something off the battery? I'm putting a blue sea fuse panel under there for my light bars, locker relay, etc. I want to get rid of all the fuse taps that I can.

    Lower Control Arms -- Rebush or Replace?

    I pulled mine at 180 and the bushings were good visibly and still had little give. The LBJ could move easily but had no play. Not gonna say leaving them for 300k is a great idea but a lot of high mile toyota have never had stuff like LCA's done.

    Lower Control Arms -- Rebush or Replace?

    $250 a piece off partsouq isn't bad to me. KDSS 470 arms are $400 there. OEM arms might last 300000 miles if driven sedately, I doubt moog will match that relative to the cost even.

    Lower Control Arms -- Rebush or Replace?

    They're cheaper and the cam bolts are improved. 470 KDSS arms are very expensive.

    Lower Control Arms -- Rebush or Replace?

    Swapping the ball joints would be a waste of time, the factory ones are much better.

    Do you have a copy of the alignment specs to share?

    LC 250 Wait list?

    Open Road Lexus in Richmond, Vancouver area. I tried calling a few dealers across the country too and all said no out of province sales due to demand. I am a bit doubtful now that they are getting so few of them... maybe the salesman was misled and it's more like 6 in the first batch.

    Lower Control Arms -- Rebush or Replace?

    Yes, and 460 cam bolts. I rebuilt mine. Even on my truck that is west coast and minimal rust the bushings were a bit of work. One popped out fairly easy, two took a lot of heat and work, and the last one had to be burned out entirely. Then on top of that I had to use an air hammer with a...

    LC 250 Wait list?

    I'm on three lists for a GX550, but the highest volume dealer told me the list is now 200 deep (I'm about 120 I think) and they are expecting to get 6 for 2024. However, this is Canada.

    GX470 KDSS bypass

    I don’t have everything done, but I did use these instructions to get the relay wired and installed, and tested with a ch4x4 switch, so thanks for putting this out there. Should be able to get the wiring complete tomorrow.

    Which CJV axle for mild lift

    Either would work, I would probably do the lifted ones myself. Whichever you get I suggest getting the one marked "best" because the better boots really are better.
