That's what someone suggested to me before, but since we moved, we decided to get a new washer and dryer set. Even removing the lint after every dry cycle, does lint still get all over the vents and inside?

I've had a good experience with a Hotpoint frig. We have this old 13 year old Hotpoint Frig, and is still working. The only problem that occured is the wiring to the light. <_< In our old house, we had a washer and dryer that were both working well for 13 years also and were both Whirpools. Only problem, the dryer doesn't "dry" as well as a new one.

Whirlpool is usually my top brand choice. ;)

I love your front license plate "Lexus" ;)

Belated Happy Birthday! Yea, where is he???

Newly cleaned, just hit 7,000 miles. Still clean, like showroom condition (I don't know if you can notice in the pictures) Before (when she was new) Now, today 4-2007 (Hint hint, this is how clean my wheel wells are, and no I didn't use tire dressing to make it look like that)

It's a 4th Gen, he mentioned 2004 SE. Secondly, yes 4Runner SE w/XREAS is different from a 4Runner w/o X-REAS. As I said, the 4Runner like mine W/O X-REAS rides similarly to a GX. Maybe he had a third gen then traded for a 4th gen 4Runner so that might explain the 6 years

Well see that's why I'm asking. I wasn't too sure if the older 4th gen 4Runners have XREAS on all SE models. Anyways, comparing the ride of a 4Runner w/o XREAS, I'd say it's about, or very close to the ride of the GX. ;) Sounds like I may as well save $$$ and get a new 4_Runner if the rides are similar. You're call. As I said, I'm not familiar with the X-REAS ride so it's up to you but all I can say is that the GX and 4Runner (w/0 X-REAS) seem to have a similar ride feel. Personally the 4Runner feels more handy to drive around town too. It may be cramped for a guy like me, but the feeling of it feels a little more handy especially if you're mainly an in-town driver. Plus I never mentioned, there are small differences you have to get used to with the GX. First, this one's a biggy to a lot of people, but the side openning rear door. I dont know if that's a problem with you, but that could be one reason why you would opt to get a new 4R instead of a GX. But there are a lot of features the GX has that not even the loaded LTD 4Runner has (real wood grain, reverse tilt side mirrors,auto tilt & telescopic steering wheel, etc.) Btw since you mentioned you had a V8 4WD SE, it doesn't by any chance, have the clunk issue, does it? I've heard from the 4Runner forums that the V8 4WD 4Runner starting from 03-some 06s still have the clunk. The V8 4Wd setup of the GX and 4Runner are similar so that's why both vehicles had it during the same time period when Toyota/Lexus were still trying to find a fix for it.

Well first of all, make sure you pick a nice body shop that will do a good job. Is insurance paying for it? Never go for the cheap shops. Secondly, the paint is color coded. Don't worry, they get the mixture code from the VIN of the vehicle. It's worth it in my opinion if I want my GX to look good and damage free. Good luck

Interesting,

Ride? First off, since you do have an SE, does it have X-REAS? I don't know how the X-REAS rides so I can't tell you if the GX is different or similar because I only have an SR5. But if you don't have X-REAS or it rides about the same as the SR5 w/o X-REAS, I would say the ride is a little softer and smoother with the GX. It's bigger which kinda gives it a softer ride on long trips. I've only used my 4R in one out-of-town trip so I haven't really noticed if it's rough, truckish ride but they're pretty much similar. Any more questions??? :)

Is it just me, or did anyone notice what i think i saw on the preview for next week????? :o :o :o

I'm pretty sure this one's directed towards me. The main difference between the 4Runner and GX is the size. To me, a 6 foot guy, size means a lot to me. That's one of the reasons why I sacrificed the moonroof in my 4Runner to get that extra inch or two. Quality is about the same, although the 4Runner feels about one or two levels lower in "insulation" than the GX but maybe that's all in my mind. Secondly, the dials and instrumentation setup. I personally like the GX470's instrument setup and colors. I have to admit, I hate the orange dials and colors, and how cheap the setup of the a/c controls of the 4Runner. Plus i prefer the handbrake setup in the GX compared to the foot brake (American car style) of the 4Runner. As for engine performance, if you want a comparison between a V8 4wd 4Runner and the V8 4wd GX, I can't say anything about that. Attention? Obviously there's a little more attention with the GX no doubt. Personally I like driving the 4Runner around because it feels more handy, gives the guys the more "macho" look (at least in my area because the women drive the GX because it's a Lexus!). But I do admit my 06 4Runner gets me a lot of attention due to the DRLs (daytime running lights). It seems attractive for some reason?!?!?! :whistles: ^_^ IF you want to know anymore comparisons between the two, please let me know in what areas of the two vehicles you want a better comparison.

Nice car choice. I love the sporty looks of the Mazda line-up.

I'm not familiar with other brands, but I have been told that if you want a good brand tint, pick either Lumar or 3M. As for the percent that will exactly match the rear, I'm not familiar as to what will match it.

As mentioned before, expect changes in about the 2009 or late 2008

I'm not implying anything against you, but sometimes it's just all in the mind. You know that that area was damaged and repaired so your brain tells you that it looks "slightly" different. You should have a friend or someone you know, that didn't know you had the damage, take a look and ask them if they notice anything different. THAT is the best way to know if it's good or not. ;)
