    Lexus GX 460 & 470 owner's thread

    Got the air bags converted just in time for a trip to New Mexico. I am constantly impressed with this vehicle even in stock form.

    Whynter 12v Fridge reviews? Alpicool?

    I purchased a Whynter 65 in 2017 and ran it full time in a van until a couple of weeks ago when the person who bought it from us said it started leaking freon. I am sure it was an easy fix, but the new owner opted to drop in a dometic to replace it. Based on that longevity, I likely wouldn't...

    FJ Cruiser or Tacoma for Touring

    What are your plans for the vehicle? When you say tourer, I think 2+ week long trips at a time with comfort being more important than capability. The Tacoma has a longer wheelbase and "should" be smoother on road. For us, the two doors of the FJ would be a deal breaker for the way we travel...

    Looking for a DD/Expo vehicle

    In that case, GX for sure. We bought our 06, non-nav, with 145,000 miles on it for 10,700 and it was second owner and is nearly flawless.

    Looking for a DD/Expo vehicle

    Do you have a price range? What is considered good mileage. Our GX is a ball to drive and gets 16mpg in the city and around 20-22 on the highway which seems as good as the v6 runner.

    Toyota TRD sport trailer

    I think if you haven't lived in a rural area where a truck bed camper is common, it is really cool. It seems hodge podged together for an OEM design team to have come up with it.

    Lexus GX 460 & 470 owner's thread

    Finally joined the club this Fall. We needed something a little more comfortable for long slogs on highway before getting off-road and the GX fit the bill. 2006 GX470 with 140,000 on the clock. Timing belt and water pump were done at 99k and tires are nearly new. Had maintenance records with...

    Anyone use their ARB compressor to inflate SUPs or Kayaks?

    Not quite the ARB, but we have used our VIAIR 400p to inflate our SUP and packraft, as mentioned, be very careful approaching max pressure. I prefer to just use the manual pump, but if you use the ARB, cut it short a few pounds and finish it with the manual pump.

    Advice on 1987 toyota pickup

    In my experience, in equal condition and both manuals, the 22re will feel about as sluggish as a T100. The 22re is tough and reliable. You really can't go wrong with a late 80-s early 90's Toyota truck.

    FM-62DZ Whynter Vs SnoMaster EX67D

    We have used a Whynter the same size and not dual zone and it has served us well for 2 years of full time everyday use with no complaints.

    1st Gen 4runner Project: My COVID-19 Build

    Nope. Going for long term reliability on FS roads and mild off-road tracks. The transmission works well now so I am simply going to replace the motor and hit the road!

    1st Gen 4runner Project: My COVID-19 Build

    It is a long wait. We had a full summer of travel plans lined up and the wait didn't seem so long. Now that we are all sheltering in place, it seems like a long wait. You will definitely learn a lot through doing a swap!

    1st Gen 4runner Project: My COVID-19 Build

    Good luck on the build! We are already committed to a 22RE from 22reperformance or else we'd be swapping too. Looking forward to watching this one!

    Looks like it’s in Minnesota based on the license plate.

    1986 Toyota 4Runner Baja Budget Build

    I’ve been really satisfied with how smooth it is at the current ride height with the spacers. Our rough ride was coming from rotted tires this last go around. I kinda like the desert runner look, similar to how they came from the factory.
