Any other suggestions? New battery? More charging? I don't have access to a bigger vehicle to jump with.

did you try to hold the RPMs with the 4runner and then start the X? did it work? or not?

Holding the RPMs did not work either.

if the RPMs did not help, then do what twin said - turn the starter...
