Please help! I am trying to bypass my tweeters, and this doesn't make sense. Wouldn't you need to jump the 1st + 3rd pins, and 2nd + 4th pins? That way it is essentially red to red and back to black on the next plug to the tweeter, effectively cutting the tweeter out of the circuit and directing...

Just mounted some 285/70r17 P rating Falken Wildpeak. I like them so far. Also noticed that I'm getting CV binding with my 3in spacer lift (that has been on the car for a longggg time) so I picked up a used set of front 5100s and dobinson 314 coils that will be mounted eventually and drop the...

I wonder this too. My 2003 v8 ticks bad, and previous owner tried to weld fix it at 145k miles but that didn’t work. He then tried to replace it with a cheap aftermarket one which also failed. It’s at 173k now and it pisses me off so I just ordered Doug thorley king tubes and will he installing...

You'd have to buy complete arms. They are absolutely expensive from Toyota though. I got some cheap eBay shit and they seem to do the job

They have to be very similar tires to not risk damage on dry pavement. What I did was just go to a used tire shop and find one similar, with similar wear, since mine didn't come with a matching 265/70/17 spare. Cost me $50 total. To have a match. That being said, I'm not sure if that larger tire...

Cool! My 2003 has the Toyota type IV fluid with dipstick and I just did a drain and fill (4qt) on it. At 150k, I was attempting to drop the pan, clean the magnets, replace the filter and gasket, and reinstall. However, I snapped a pan bolt trying to get it off, so I determined it wasn't worth...

If your ran the lines independently then yes you can control the rear right and left pressures independently, but the height gains would be negligible and this is probably a pointless use for the airbags. I would just carry a couple pieces of wood in the trunk and park on those to level the truck..

Ah I did misread the ad regarding whether or not they come with bulbs. They do not, but two pairs of decent halogen bulbs from Amazon should only run $40. The highs and lows use the same bulbs right? Any highly recommend halogen bulbs for these? A whiter light would be ideal.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! Can I still leave the existing bumper turn signals wired as running lights? As for the halos included in these Amazon lights, it seems like I just need to tap them into the running light circuit and they'd be good to go. So then the whole thing is essentially an...

What kind of work did it need that justified the replacement cost? Suspension, t belt, manifolds, etc..?

I have used all of the methods. Bike inside or wheel out the hatch is the easiest, quickest method when just getting around town. Roof racks are nice because I put the bicycles up there and the mototcross bike on the hitch carrier. But if all you're doing is driving to the trailheads with a...

Can I not run the bulbs that come with these Amazon lights? I would just need the eBay conversion harnesses right? But according to the other thread, I will have issues with the bulbs burning out quickly due to improper wattage? Unless I convert to all LED?

Sorry for having yet another thread about headlights, I know they are a dime a dozen, but I can't seem to find an exact answer. I've read through countless threads about this by now. I have a 2003. I want to upgrade the look of the front end, without looking too "Rice-y" like most of the 03-05...

I have read that the best way to do it is to pump grease into the slip yolk until you see the joint move (this takes a lot of grease since it has to fill a large chamber) and then remove the zerk fitting by unscrewing it, and allow some of the excess grease to escape from the valve while...

While we are on this topic maybe someone can answer a question I've been wondering. Welcome to another round of "is this normal?"! When I am accelerating from a stop in a normal matter, or accelerating fast, it shifts nice and smooth. But when I am accelerating very SLOWLY, such as just...
