Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

So nice driving home with functioning AC for the first time. It's been a struggle figuring this out but it's done now.

 

How much did the part end up costing that fixed it?

 

A whole $20ish

 

are you doing the install yourself? if not, where are you taking it?

 

ECGS is doing the gear setup on my diffs. I bought a front clamshell and an entire 8.2" rear from a GX460 with 9600mi on them, a while back.

 

The GX is finally fixed so I can drive the CT again.

 

Gotta love it when your lady complains about not having AC

 

Had a daddy/daughter day at U.R.E.

 

I have the Rigd version in my garage but use the rear door constantly for the dog and really don’t want the swing out to so before the door but I don’t see many better options. Sucks.

 

@jlemmond that's awesome! I'm ok with this. I'm just over trying to "push it and find the limits" (James May voice).

 

I love this thing more everytime I take it out.

 

Side effect of getting old I guess…lawl

 

Love it. wish i was out with my kid instead of sitting at work

 

yeah it is a bummer. there are the carriers that attached straight to your rear hatch (JW offroad and a couple others) - but I do wheel this thing and i dont know that i trust it wont eventually wear out the hinges, rust where i drilled through the sheet metal, etc. This will have to do for now.

 

Just regular 75-90 in the T-case?

 

Yeah that's fine. We use 80-90 here at work just because that's what we have. But 75-90 will be fine. Also works for your front and rear diffs.

 

I've already got Amsoil 75-90 in the diffs. But I thought I had read some time ago that the transfer case called for the $80 a quart Toyota fluid. So I wasn't sure.

 

I just asked our tech that also has a GX470. He uses the 80-90 in his transfer case and I'm sure put it in mine when he serviced it. The repair manual calls for 75-90 so you're good.

 

Thank you sir.
