I have searched a good bit and having a hard time finding a good way to Change it the tranny fluid in my gx. For my 98 runner we just pulled the in and out lines in the tranny, one on the new bucket of fluid, one for drain, and put it in gear. It was an easy way to Change it the fluid. Now that...

Well folks, he bought it today! It is a good one, if he takes half way decent care it will last him a long time. Off to start the work on my 2008 GX470!

I should have replied to yours with my last post. Yes much is the same. The 4.7L engine was used in a bunch of toyota/lexus vehicles for over a decade. Many other things are interchangeable with the 4runner like aftermarket skid plates and whatnot.

As I just got my GX470, I am replacing several parts. When I went to advance and picked up several things, the lady working there commented how reasonable the parts were for a lexus. I replied that it was basically a fancy 4runner, and she agreed. Thankfully most parts are the same, and can be...

I mentioned before that the valve cover gaskets needed changing, that will be dealt with friday 11/1 as my friend is coming in town and will knock it out while he is working on my, new to me, gx470.

Just to let everybody know, the other guy did not buy mine. He picked another that was already lifted before he looked at mine. Thanks!

Yeah I admit I do like the flat folding seats. However, I mostly load computers, laptops and bulky all in ones, and I often find myself preferring the seat to put them on anyway. It just may be that for me, having the extra seats might be the best way I could have gone anyway.

Yes, I pretty much forced myself to get a GX470. I got a good deal on it but it needs a little work. Some old hoses and a few little things that need to be done before I can trust it like my 4runner. I drove it about three hours home and I must say I do like it, very good riding. What I will...

Those are nice, but I just can't afford a decent 5th Gen.

That may just happen :)

PM Sent to you. Thanks!

Yes sorry, Valve cover gasket. Thanks!

I am reluctantly selling my beloved 4runner. She currently has 221k Miles on her, if you look at my former posts you will see some of the massive amount of preventive maintenance I have done on her. She is basically stock as far as lift and whatnot. The outside is overall pretty good, no...

I have a 98' that gets about a combined 18mpg and a prius that basically gets 50. Before I bought the prius I did the numbers. If I drive the prius 100k miles I save about $9k over the 4runner. I drive nearly 30k a year. The prius will pay for itself in 150k miles, but I got it used. However, I...

I am hoping to get a few opinions from you guys. I have a 98' and honestly love it! However, things have changed a bit in my life and I may be forced to make a change. I have started doing much longer drives, and need the extra space that the 4runner has, my other car being a prius. I am...
