    LR3 to 3rd gen 4Runner: lateral move or upgrade/downgrade

    100% downgrade. My LR3 is the best truck I've ever owned. Way more capable than a T4R as well. I own an LR3 and a GX470. The LR3 sees significantly less wrench time than the Lexus. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Grabber X3 pic request

    Hey all, I'm looking at some Grabber X3's for my GX470. Wondering if any of you are running these and if you could share some photos. I'm sitting on a Dobinsons 2" lift, and I'm leaning towards 265/70/17 as I don't want to do much chopping to make my tires fit. I also dont want the tires to...

    GX470 Suspension Recommendation

    I'm installing a metaltech conversion, and a dobinsons front and rear kit with 2" medium front springs, and 1.75" medium rears this weekend. I'll report back once we get it done and do some shakedowns.

    Reliability

    I've got a 2008 LR3 and a 2004 GX470. Both are very comfortable, and I'd imagine either would be great for a bad back. They are as reliable as 10+ year old SUVs can and should be. That is to say, buy some wrenches... It ain't that bad, usually.

    LR3 Slider options/opinions

    Update here: Finally found time to get these TR sliders off my garage floor and onto the truck. They are awesome, and heavy, and not something I'm looking forward to having to remove anytime soon.

    Colb's Red Rover

    Great build! Not sure how I've missed this thread until now. Are you still on EAS? Who is the company who built that bumper for you? Looks similar to the TR but winch access seems much easier. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    LR3 Fault Codes... Any of these super concerning?

    Don't worry about the UO, lost communication codes. Those can trigger on startup depending on battery voltage and are nothing to worry about in my experience Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Finally got my TR sliders in. Had to put off the purchase for a while. Attempted install last weekend and had a hell of a time getting the body mount donut wahers to line up correctly. Any of you guys with these sliders have the same issue? How did you manage to blindly position the donut...

    Lexus GX 460 & 470 owner's thread

    We've owned a one owner, Atlanta, 2004 for about 5 months. Bought it with 135k. We also looked for a 4Runner but couldn't find a good one in our range. I've had to do some maintenance and repairs on it, but nothing crazy. It's a great truck, we like it a lot. It's currently the kid hauler and...

    Lr3 or GX 470???

    hey there! I actually currently own both an LR3 and a GX470. The GX is a 2004 with 145k miles, and the LR3 is a 2008 with 96k Both are a joy to drive, both get awful gas mileage, but in the mornings when I'm reaching for keys, 9 times out of 10, I walk out my back door with the Rover key in...

    LR3 questions

    Follow up here, bottle replacement went as planned. The bottom hose clamp is really difficult to deal with, so be prepared.

    LR3 questions

    You can either replace the float or the entire bottle assembly. Me personally? I'm replacing the entire assembly for two reasons: 1. The bottle must be unplugged and dismounted to replace the float anyway 2. My bottle is a bit discolored from 10 years of use, and a new bottle will make it much...

    LR3 questions

    Yep, the bottle has a slight revision from the original. Thinner on the top sides, and the bleeder screw sits at an angle now. Swapping it out is on my Saturday morning to-do list...

    LR3 questions

    OEM branded XLC coolant is what you want. I just had to go buy a bottle from the dealer yesterday, as I'm swapping out the expansion tank this weekend (low coolant false warning issue)

    LR3 plugs - irridium?

    I'm due for new plugs. Have seen a few random misfires on the trail under certain conditions, and I'm at 91k. Do you LR3 vets recommend irridium plugs? Bosch? NGK? Or do you recommend the OEM replacements via Atlantic British or similar vendors? Thanks in advance! Sent from my Pixel 2 using...
