Hi all,
Hi everyone,
About me:
We got our 2011 gx460 from an auction and I have been upgrading. I was looking for a 4runner but this was actually cheaper and I read all the good things about them when researching Toyotas. It doesn't have crawl control so I ordered the module and buttons a few days ago. I just added some LED spots this morning, we are rural and the light is always good on the property out here. We can't wait to get off-road. Oh, it's the non airbag basic gx
Anyway to my question:
This is where your expertise helps a lot!!!! I have been searching sites all day to research who makes kits, I saw the sticky with parts also. It looks like the 4 runner has the same suspension. I'm looking at lifts and just want to verify before I buy. The suspension looks just like all the 4 runner videos. Websites sometimes include the gx.
Update: Below some mentioned there is no need and just get a GX kit. What if I want adjustable upper control arm vs non-adjustable. I can buy a stage 1 and get SPC arm but Rock Auto didn't have them for the GX. If I just went by that I would be SOL, but after scouring websites I came across toytec. If I can't find info then I'm stuck hoping a 4 runner arm will work the same, unless you guys know. So if the geometry is apples to apples and the same then I can plan for my bumper and rear cargo weights to get a legit setup vs a stock weight kit for the gx from some sites, this means springs and struts purchased separately in some cases - Depending on the company they don't offer heavier weight kits, the list goes on.
Will the 4 runner front axel fit the GX460? I think I'll get one for off road trips eventually but if a friend has one then we are good to go.
