    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    Honestly Im not sure... is it the same rear diff as the 4th gen 4R? All I know is its fairly common in GXOR. Not like its every single week but its common enough that the group agreement seems to be it will happen to most people eventually its only a matter of time? But again I dont actually know

    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    Very strange... Im gonna call them again tomorrow. Weird that theyd tell you that they weigh 62lbs and the 33s weight 61lbs to me on the phone. I seen emails from them to others claiming multiple weights too and also people who said various weights on the phone. Very annoying. Thanks for the info

    Unsprung weight & grenading weak rear diff - Wheel/Tire consideration

    I read that too on Tacoma world. Then I most commonly read 52lbs but I spoke to them on the phone today and they said 61lbs. I will call again tomorrow and 100% confirm we're talking about the right tire. For the 52lbs that mostly gets spread she said she thinks it was a typo in an email that...

    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    Honestly this was a consideration I had but nobody seems to care so I thought I was being dumb. I felt that the extra unsprung weight literally makes Atrac less useful. If the Atrac system cannot manipulate the wheels as well then its simply not as effective. Im currently onstock tires and the...

    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    Do you mean open diffs as in no lockers? Cause the GX does have a center diff lock. IDK if you participate on GXOR at all (or have a GX470) but lots of people are grenading their 8" - is it every week? No. But the more established members seem to indicate that its more of a when not if type...

    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    You weigh'd them? The 35s are supposed to be around 68lbs I would guess its the scale issue for an item in that shape or something.

    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    Its hard to do what would be objective "hardcore crawling" (all rigs considered) in a GX without serious modification. But I do intend to push the car to its limits (within its current state of course) so I do expect to be doing trails where I might get stuck and need a yank or get high centered...

    Unsprung weight & grenading weak rear diff - Wheel/Tire consideration

    Lets keep this short and sweet. I dont know enough about 4x4s to answer this question with any accuracy. I have GX470 with the infamously weak 8" rear diff. The question is, are there people with enough 4x4 experience and wrenching experience to make an educated guess as to whether a...

    GX470 Unsprung weight grenading rear diff

    Hey guys. Ive got my GX470 and was dead set on Kenda Klever RTs in 33x10.5 because the entire internet mostly claims they are 52lbs-ish. Now I find out they are truly 61.5lbs. How much should I be concerned with the extra weight when it compares to the Wildpeak AT3Ws which are 52.5lbs at...

    Lexus GX 460 & 470 owner's thread

    Anybody in here who has wheeled both a GX470 and also a first gen GX460 ('10-'13) and can compare the two? TBH I have found this forum to give much more sound advice about cars than FB groups and forums. Seems the people on here are more serious. Wondering who can compare the two as far as...

    LR3 Newbie questions.

    Is there a miles cutoff? I found one for 220k where the guy claims he works at a Jag/LR dealer and just bought an 80 series LC so he has no need for both. He said he has really good records of servicing

    LR3 Newbie questions.

    Hey guys. Sorry to ask such a newbie question which clearly shows Ive done little research. The honest truth is I havent. I was dead set on a GX 470 but the supply demand is way off and the prices have gone up about 4-6k in the last 90 days. I cant find anything good with a good service history...
