    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    My 2006 had the head gasket start leaking. My build date was 11/2005. I think the head gasket change happened after 1/2006. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

    To extend or not to extend warranty?

    A note on KDSS. I have a 2009 GX470 w/ KDSS. It just cost me about $1900 out of pocket for a KDSS repair. The entire assembly on the driver's frame rail needed replacement (since they have a completely updated part now). Not sure when this "new" part came into play, but I wasn't able to...

    Cargo Area Storage - Trunk and Security

    Very nice, and a nice write up too. To answer your question though, I would not count on the one hold-down/ratchet strap to secure that Husky box. If you get hit with any type of signifcant lateral force that box will dislodge from the hold-down strap. Drawers are nice, but you're right they...

    Serious kdss problem

    Out of all the KDSS threads, this seems to have the most technical knowledge in it, so I'll post here. I have a 2009 GX470 Sport w/KDSS. 103k on the truck. My KDSS threw code C1832 which I diagnosed as the failed accumulator solenoid downside valve. Basically the black electrical box on...

    GX470 Brake upgrade question

    I think that changing the brake fluid (as it is hydroscopic) more often would help reduce the internal corrosion. Changing your brake pads a little earlier may also help reduce the likelihood of a seized caliper as the pistons will not be extended out and exposed to the elements if they have a...

    Cooper AT3 prices and sizes.

    Discount Tire will match or beat the Discount Tire Direct eBay price. Just take any lower price into their store for the price match.

    Worried about AT Tire Rain Performance

    I also have about 5k on my Cooper Discoverer AT3s. I just returned from a 1400 mile round trip from Chicago to Maryland. During that trip my observations of the Coopers were: Quiet on the highway Handled well on both dry and wet pvement Wore evenly (even though I haven't noticed any real...

    Worried about AT Tire Rain Performance

    And after you read all that stuff, don't buy KO2 tires. Buy Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires at a fraction of a price and have good traction in wet weather. Problem solved. :p

    How to spend some $$$

    You must be an Admiral then, because most people I've met in the armed forces don't have 3 or 4 grand to just waste. :nod: Take the money, go to Scottrade and open a brokerage account, and for $8 go invest all of it. Four years from now sell off your investment and buy a new 4Runner with you...

    Tire/Wheel Swap Question

    Buy them if they are a steal, and then resell them. American way. BUT, don't put them on your 4Runner. :yuck:

    Sunglass compartment fail
