Your post isn't specific on what you are wanting to do. Are you DIY or looking for a shop to do the work for you

I've bought 1A Auto Parts for plenty of vehicles of mine. They are a low cost aftermarket/remanufacturer, kinda like Dorman or A1 Cardone. You'll get what you pay for. If you do a LOT of hard off roading, your money is probably better spent on OEM or off-road centric parts. If your vehicle is a...

This honestly kinda seems like bad advice overall (granted I'm a stranger on the internet, and he's a mechanic). "Premium" gas, aka 92(ish) octane gas isn't really any different than regular at the pump. The higher octane means that the gasoline is more resistant to premature detonation. It...

Very old thread, but in case someone searches for Weather Tech mats I have a 2008 4Runner and spent the money for front, back, and truck Weather tech mats. I want to say in total, it was around $600? I will say that I wouldn't buy weather tech again, the fit leaves a lot to be desired and the...

Love the leather seats! I wish my 08 came with leather instead of nasty cloth seats.

I'll tag onto a 2 yr old thread. I worked for Iffy-Lube back in my early 20's. I can absolutely confirm that half the time we didn't check things like rear dif fluid levels or any of the stuff we say we did. You were supposed to grease/lube chassis mounting points where applicable, can't say...

I have their LCAs, wheel bearings, and tie rod ends currently. So far no issue but I haven't taken them offroad. I don't typically abuse them, and live in the south (no rust). I've used their parts on a number of my vehicles. They are not OEM, but they are not terrible. You get what you pay...

Hey Sam, I actually had the same problem on my 08 4wd sr5. For me, the sound was rather quiet, but still noticeable. It started around maybe 30mph? Mine was the front driver wheel bearing. I changed both at 205k with a set of Detroit Axle bearings off eBay. They were pretty cheap compared to...
