Finally replacing the GX470
Always wanted one of these bad boys and with the prices people are posting the GX or 4runners down here in FL, I figured I'd give this one a try.
Happy to be the second owner on the gen 1 raptor finally.
But these big ole wheels are going to go soon hopefully.

Hurricane DESTROYS the GX470

Sad day, but after all the work and looking forward to more upgrades Hurricane Helene took a tree down and trashed the lexus and a corner of my roof. Safe to say it's totaled but I figured we'll go along and see how that whole process works and the options they give me since this is a first for myself. #4runner #automobile #carcleaning #4runneroffroad #mechanic #gx470offroad #carmaintenance #gx...

    Honestly, I think it looks pretty great. I used the same company for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Carpet swap and was pretty pleased with the results- especially the smell. I am about to do this swap on a GX470, would you recommend the standard or upgraded cut pile?

    If worried about the cost may want to try out another platform. These things will drain your wallet lol. My last 556 build was north of 5K when done. My LMT 20” 6.5 CM is nearly double. Either way good starting points. Look into Criterion Core barrels if you want it as a dual role, pertaining to accuracy. My Core barrel builds get .5-1.2 all day, even with me as a mediocre shooter at best lol

      Ahhh thanks for the tips. This mostly started because I missed the quad rail from the military. ( had a nostalgia hit) but couldn’t just get an upper with no lower. So just pieced it out. For now since I don’t train as much since work, hurricane and other things that come up. I figured I’ll do more affordable until I’ve caught up big time with my training and splurged it then.

    save ur old fan clutch for back up, you only need to replace the thermal fluid inside the fan clutch, and those fluid come as a pouch. remove the cover of the clutch and clean it off the old fluid,then fill it up with the new fluid and your old clutch is good as new. the new one u have may not be as good as the old one. they don't make part which last that long as they once used to any more.

      @@adamhlj yeah once you remove on the bolts from the seats and plastic trim, there’s a few spots that the carpet is hooked, like in the footwell area of the driver and passenger area. Then you would pull the plastic bracket that’s it’s stapled to and in a perfect world it would come off with and not rip. But just getting everything out is the part I went back and fourth catching small areas that were held on. I ended up replacing my carpet but to be honest if you have a pressure washer and enough sun or a vacuum to get the water out it’s worth doing that. All the carpet replacements have horrible figments so it’s a shame and not worth it in my opinion.
