GX470's Torsen Diff
I just read that the GX470 and 4Runner are the only production cars that use the new T3 torsen differential... does anyone know how this has an advantage over the T2 and T1?

Brent..I think the Range Rover also use this Torsen setup. I am NOT 100% certain though. Goto the Torsen website for specs.

Is the Torsen differential on the 03 GX or is it new for the 04?

Kash, I am a little unclear as to what you meant. Are you saying that the Torsen T3 diff is not on the 03 gx but will be on the 2004-1/2 GX?
If so, I wonder If this has anything to do with the vibration...

Torsen is not new to the GX.
My GX is one of the first few that has the wrong GVWR and it has Torsen LSCD.
