Get underneath it and look at the X-REAS struts/shocks on all four corners. They are red, and if leaking, you'll easily dirt stuck to where the oil has leaked out. If they look immaculate, you know they've been cleaned. This is very important as X-REAS can be expensive to swap out if you...

Two comments, if I may: -As I mentioned above, I have money down on a new GX550, just waiting for her to get here from Japan. I don't have irrational turbo fear, but the motor clearly already has a bad reputation as configured in the Tundra. I'd prefer a v8 option, but since it isn't...

I didn't say the naturally aspirated motor had to be a non-turbo version of the current 3.4 TT. And I realize that it doesn't make business sense for Toyota to have 1 larger displacement v6 engine that is only used in something like the 4Runner and LC. I can still not be happy about any of...

I just spent a good 9 hours disconnecting X-REAS and replacing it with new KYB Coilovers and G Shocks ($478.98 with tax from Shock Surplus). I'd like to share my experience: My Limited's X-REAS has been leaking for at least two years and the ride and handling had continued to deteriorate to...

I've had a nice chunk of change down on a black GX 550 Overtrail (base) since Black Friday, and I'm likely still 2 months from seeing it arrive at the dealership. We were near certain that the LC was going to be our next ride but optioned out the way we'd want, it was too close to the price of...

If you have a Limited and you just want a nice 20" tire for the highway, the newer version of the LTX, the Defender LTX M/S2, has been great over the last 20K miles. I realize that these don't give much of an off-road look, but they seem to be wearing well and doing well enough in all types...

Early in ownership, especially when driving on hilly roads, I couldn't help but notice how bad this engine sounds from inside. It made me seriously consider different headers but I didn't want to deal with warranty challenges. You get used to it, but never happy about it IMO.

I'll be posting about my KYB experience as soon as I can start a new thread. I have no idea how many replies I need for the system to allow me to do that.

I can't speak for Bilsteins, but I was going to start a thread about my recent experience of installing KYB coilovers and G shocks on a 15 Limited. However, since I just joined the forum, it won't let me start a new thread without some replies. Maybe this response will help me.
