I just got off the phone with my mechanic who is suggesting that my GX is totaled.
Last weekend my motor died and I spent six hours on the side of the freeway waiting for a tow due to a bad alternator. I replaced the alternator to the tune of about $1200, and almost immediately after picking up...
Note: I know now the prices below are crazy - I'm taking it to another mechanic for a second opinion.

83’ FJ60 fuel injected with Holley Sniper EFI. As of latently she has been stalling out when shifting between gears or at a stop in neutral. Now she idles rough, bouncing down to almost 0 RPM to 1000+ RPM in a loop. Up and down, up and down, on the verge of stalling out. Steering wheel shakes...
I was looking at getting some OME heavies for the rear of our FJ and on a whim just looked at the reviews of OME. These reviews are coming from Australia where OME is based. The reviews are horrible to say the least - 76% were negative. I don't want to buy new spring to have to replace...
In March of 2021, my OEM radiator took a dump. I ended up installing a new KOYO radiator, and OEM lower & upper radiator hoses/clamps, along with a new OEM thermostat in my 2004 LX470 that currently has around 236,200 miles on the ODO.
I have only put around 17,000 miles on the new radiator and...
I've been struggling with transmissions issues on the 1994 we bought last year to fix up for our youngest son. Finally figured out it was the Transmission Control Module. Back in September while driving home from work I lost all gears except 2nd. While in Drive with O/D on it would start in...
The rear (very rear, cargo area) speaker (the small speaker, not the subwoofer) on my 2020 GX460 is making hissing static noises and sounds like the speaker is bad? I'm talking to the dealer to see if it is under warranty, but they are an hour and half away. Does anyone know how to remove this...
I'm doing the 3fe exhaust mod and I'm not sure my existing intake manifold is going to work out. It's not cracked, but you can see the eroded aluminum. Is this okay? I'm not looking for a ported intake, but will this be a future problem?
As I guessed it's not completely flat. It's off by 0.020.
So I am new to the LC100 club. Bought my 02' LX470 last year (2022) in October with 172k miles. Just looking at the Carfax the previous owner performed all the manufacturer's recommended maintenance on schedule. I drove it around as my daily for a little under 1k miles till I noticed a sweet...
The good news is I successfully installed a new carb, changed the oil pan gasket and have no leaks, and got the valves adjusted. All of this is new knowledge to me. The bad news is I have a coolant leak on a hose that I think may be discontinued…
Using this thread I think I need hose 87245A...
I’ve got a green 600. Just got it and ran it through the wash. Seems like hand washing poses equal or greater damage to the finish as a consistent-pressure, soft foam turning brush. No?
Hello,
Planning on a used GX460. Was looking at a web page that listed best and worst year GX460's. 2018 was not in either list. Is there a "worst" year for the GX460?
Our kids loved road trips in the GX470 because it had headrest entertainment systems, and the bench seats reclined enough to easily sleep. I swear our 12yo son has carcolepsy! Even though we had the GX460 for a weekend before we purchased it, I overlooked the limitations of the second row...
Hey guys. Recently the VSC light has came on. Replaced with new one and instantly truck was running super lean and wonky. Is there a difference in part from the tundra and lx570? The AMF they sold me is for the 5.7 L but why would it read different when i installed
Hey guys,
Need help troubleshooting the left front while in 4 wheel drive.
When in 2 wheel drive and hubs not locked, it drives and turns with no problems.
Hubs locked and in 4L, it goes forward and reverse no problem as long as the wheel is straight. Turn the wheel and get a clunking noise...
I’m not sure what scammers get out of a listing like this…

The pictures are all screenshots, streets don’t look familiar, and the license plates aren’t from here. Not to mention a kid standing on the front tire in...
Hello all,
I have a 1970 FJ40 with original 3.9L V6 and I believe the engine is getting ready to throw a rod as it's banging bad, anyone know if these can still be rebuilt anywhere or if another engine will mount in fairly easy? Much appreciated
Heard a jingle by my front driver’s side wheel and looked under to find that my ball joint has a loose C-Clip that I’m fairly certain in causing the jungle. See attached photo.
Couple of questions:
-Is this safe to drive on, even on some light off road trails?
-Do I need to replace the ball...
