What Did You Do With Your 120 Today? (12 Viewers)

[GXer04]

After ~2.5 years of ownership, and always wondering why the CDL took 15-30 seconds to lock and somewhat assuming this was normal, it took over a minute to lock on Sunday. Yes, I know I have the slow actuator leak, but for whatever reason I never connected the dots on the fact that no oil ever hit my driveway. Eventually, I'll get the time and courage to drop the T-case and repair the seal. For now, I removed the cover and drained about 4-5 ounces of oil from the actuator. PITA getting the gear that comes out with it back in (on cover in picture), but I finally realized I could remove the shaft from the cover, install the gear, and replace the cover. CDL locks in under 2 seconds now. What a difference.

Did you fix the seals? Will fill back up

It's on the to do list, but it took a long time to fill (years). I suspect it may be leaking faster, so that may force the issue. Will probably use it as an excuse to do gears/lockers at the same time.

A few weeks ago the GX was my race support vehicle for a track weekend and this past weekend my son, also responsible for the custom HID headlights, painted the T4R wheels.

Those look great! How did you get the centercaps painted with the symbol chromed still?

Did that with my hi lift handle. Got tired of the whistling noise.

Yesterday we modified a scratch and dent tire carrier to work with my (different revision) scratch and dent bumper.

Install 5th gen 4runner N-Fab foot step.

Wife complain it's getting harder and harder to climb in. Don't have time to build a proper slider yet. Find this on Craigslist cheap and decide to give it a try for temporary fix. Throw away the OEM running board months ago after cutting the upper part.

Install both side in 15 minutes. All bolt line up like its designed for it.

It fits like it was designed for it.

I took the boys for a ride through the mountains, got a lot of looks from hunters on their utv’s where their pickups wouldn’t go. Then, we took it home and replaced the yellow, oxidized headlights with aftermarket depos.

Finished adding my passenger side tow point from Trail Tailor. It took using a chaser to clean out the rusted threads. This one sits close in to the exhaust pipe.

Went wheeling yesterday with a buddy and his Jeep Commander. Lexus did great and the Commander had to work! Thought I would post a poser shot.

Is that barlow?

Clackamas River - LaDee Flats OHV trails. Some serious rocks is some areas for which I was not prepared to cross!

Barlow is a good time! Cut in at Pioneer woman's grave.

Nice! Keep the tip off
Better departure angle clearance esp with the shorter angled pipe

Nothing major here. Steering wheel mod. Amazon Japan special here. Regularly priced at $450-ish and somehow snagged one last night for about $80. Was last one(more on the way)and when I went back to it, it was back to normal price. Feels and looks great! The maker is a company called REAL. Piano black ,leather wrapped and stitched.

The swap was very easy. Took me maybe 20-30min total for a first time go around.

SPC Upper Arms arrived and Toytec Boss 3” lift on the way.

Nice! I love those wheels. Instantly makes the interior look 10 years newer. Every time I see one I kick myself for not buying a black interior! I can’t find anything for the ‘08 tan (brownish grey) other than a refurb or mismatching cream color from a 100 Series *cue sad Charlie Brown music*
