Any options for GX470 fitment?

This is on point. The market is bananas; particularly here in the PNW. I have wanted a 470 for a while and finally pulled the trigger on one a couple weeks ago. I paid more than I should have, but I just wasn't willing to buy one sight unseen from the east coast and have it shipped. I paid $14k...

I forgot to share this earlier. After trading in my 4Runner, I saw the listing for it online. It was gone before the month was over. I think this list price is more than I paid new! Crazy world we live in. They did get it shined up pretty good though.

I do admire this idea. You realize the project is going to cost 6x the price of a new kids bike though, right? I'm guessing yes you do, and you're doing it anyway for the sentiment. Just wanted to make sure. I would recommend buying a parts bike on Craigslist instead of new components at least...

outdoorbound I recently switched from a 4Runner to a Tundra. It's definitely a different world; there are plusses and minuses. Unless you're likely to be in very tight spaces or trails that require crazy approach/departure angles, I wouldn't worry about the difference in off-road capability. Is...

If the plan was to smash in to boulders and drive like there's a high probability of rollover, I wouldn't want to rely on that vehicle as my daily regardless of payment method.

TexasTJ Thanks! Banff/Jasper was stunning. Based partially on your experience, we did end up coming through Glacier on the way home. My son saw his first bears in the wild in Jasper, and in Glacier we saw plenty of bighorn and a couple of mountain goats. We really enjoyed it. I just got back...

FWIW I had a similar situation and was missing just the cover. This fit well for me, at I ended up preferring it to the Toyota folder: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JO2MT6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I realize you need the manuals too, but thought this might be...

Selling a few things after trading my 4Runner: 1. TRD oil filters (2) and air filter (1) $60 shipped for all 3 together ***FILTERS ARE SOLD*** 2. Raingler cargo net for behind 1st row. Mil-spec black with red stitching. Hardware included. $100 shipped ***CARGO NET IS SOLD*** 3. Ultraswing...

Haha well, I guess I did retain some of the mod disease, but I wouldn't say I'm going to build it. Just personalize a bit. This is what the dash looked like on day 10 of ownership. So far I have done: Pro grille swap 275/70/17 KO2s Tonneau cover Over bed tent/bike rack Bumper chrome delete New...

I'll be listing a few things in the near future since I don't have my 4Runner anymore. One is my Raingler cargo/dog net that goes behind the front seats. If I remember correctly, it is the heavy duty mil-spec in black with red stitching. Shown here on the Raingler website: 2010 - Newer Toyota...

Thanks. I'd like to get as close to $1000 as possible for it. Spent over $2500 on the whole setup. Includes swingout, tire plate, double 5GAL scepter water can carrier (with cans), 4.5GAL Rotopax, drop down table, locking hitch pin, and receiver extension. Willing to drive a few hours if I know...

WNY PAT thanks! That's funny-we have a 6'-3" 230lb "little one" also.

I had those same wheels. They look AWESOME. Especially on a MGM 4Runner. They are a bit too wide IMO. You can make them work if you're dedicated to the idea, but I wouldn't expect much room for flex. I had 285/75/17 and needed BMC and BFH along with UCAs. Did not hit UCA though. I'm sure you can...

That is almost exactly the scenario. They gave me $30k in trade as it sat. I got them down ~3k off sticker and had them throw in the extra parts. The thing that sealed the deal was a PNW regional rebate that is going on this month. That reduced the price of the Tundra another $4k. I assume it is...
