Brining this back from the dead. Did a google search for 2uzfe cold start engine knock and this thread showed up. I'm willing to give the Fuel pressure damper a try, but I see 3 different part numbers within this thread. 23270-50012, 23270-50011, and 23270-50010. 11 and 12 appear to be OEM and...

I did install airbags on my 4runner so I'm familiar with that option. Thanks for info on kdss system.

I'm unable to get registered on the Lexus forum so I'm going to pick the brain of you fellas. You've never let me down before. In my hunt to get back into a clean v8 4th gen, I found a clean gx. I Have been reading about the kdss system. Unable to confirm if the knob on the console that...

Got my eyes on a 2006 gx470 now. It has 242k but is in fantastic shape. Hoping I can get it for $6500. It does have the kdss suspension. I hear this is nice but is also a potential trouble point for these trucks? I don't know much about the kdss yet. I know it has the knob for ride height and...

Went and looked. Unfortunately it was an absolute rust bucket. Owner was not truthful when I spoke to him. Search continues.

I actually haven't yet, Im out of town and was gonna try to swing by and take a look on my way home. If that doesn't work out I'll have to go sometime this week unfortunately.

Going to see it hopefully today. Initial pics of undercarriage look good. Some surface rust on the frame. Plugged vin into Toyota's website last night and TB and WP were actually done at 136k in 2015. So I'll have a while to wait on that, which is good. It for sure will need new tires and...

So I've located a 2006 V8 SR5. Has electric seats and sunroof. No issues with 4x4. Clean Carfax. I've offered the seller $5,500. He said if I'm serious about buying he'd sell it for that. Thoughts? It has 200k on it. TB/WP was done at 135k, so it will be due relatively soon. He's a small time...

In my search I'm running across decently priced Lexus SUVs. Any reason not to go with them over a 4runner?

Thanks for all the input. My last 4th gen was a V8. This time around I'm looking at both. Seems the v6 is just as reliable. I will opt for the v8 if I can find one. They are pretty common on the 03-05 models in my area.

Did a little digging and was actually able to answer my own question. Funny how that works... Sport also comes with tune steps, hood scoop, color keyed Mirrors and a few other things. So let me rephrase my question. For someone who is browsing the used 4th gen market for a vehicle that is 13+...

Sold my 4th gen a year ago and have been kicking myself ever since. I'm looking to buy another. I had a 2006 sport V8 previously. Im seeing a lot of base SR5 models for sale. I'm really not interested in the xreas suspension. Besides larger brakes what else did the sport have that the SR5 does...

Never driven but stored outside. Sad to see the clear fading on the hood.

The truck is 4hrs from me. I've seen numerous pictures of the frame.
