Well, not that long ago I had the guides replaced on our 4.4 X5. Car ran great for a few days then the valley pan took a dump, so it sat in the driveway for a few weeks until I decided to fix it. Reason I didn't do the valley pan while having the guides done was because a friend of mine had traveled up to do the guides and was on limited time. Anyways, I wrapped up the valley pan yesterday after spending a few days and a few hours at a time working on it. Man I missed driving this thing! I ended up purchasing a 2012 4Runner to satisfy my need for overlanding excursions. Big tires and a lift so far but I still enjoy both rigs.
