Can I ask what online dealer is selling the Lucas for this price? I’m doing mine soon and just starting to source parts.

Found these: 2005 Toyota 4Runner Front Lower Control Arms w/Ball Joints (Pair) Wondering if anyone has used these. I’m only hoping to get a couple more years out of her at this point. I have 316k. Maybe see if I can get her to 400k depending on how much I need to dump into her. Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts, I’m just trying to get a few more years out of this. I was about to pull the trigger on a tundra but I would need to lower my retirement contributions to be comfortable. Thinking about finding some lightly used takeoffs. What years of 4r and tacos are compatible for the...

My bushings are looking pretty shot. As in, I can see the steel cam bolts and only about 60-70% of the donut appears to be present. Not much rust. What’s my best option here? I’m at 315k miles Also have possible weep on valve covers. Possibly leaking shocks, noticed oily build up on the bottom.

Are you still doing suspension work?

Do you think that would that be the case if the tailgate button isn’t doing anything? Nor the inside button? I’ve had it get errored out and removing the fuse always resolves it but that usually happens when it’s in the process of opening or closing and gets caught in the middle. The door is...

Sitting on 310,000 miles - went to go open my hatch and nothing. The rear window still rolls down from the dash. I installed an interior door switch and window switch about 4 years ago. The door switch doesn’t work there either. Curious if anyone has ever encountered this? I forgot to check...

The bigger issue is getting the cost down. I need to do a minimum of 50 or the cost of the anodizing is ridiculously expensive.

“Doesn’t look pretty” exactly. The black ano aluminum would look like it was there all along. Something a bit nicer than 3d printed.

Long time no post, life got busy. Long story short, I’m in manufacturing. Looking at different things I can bring to market. I am looking at making a custom cup holder similar to the one on Etsy here etsy.com But from aluminum - and anodized black. The problem lies in pricing as it seems...

Hey Guys, Old Black betty is turning up at 283K and due for a few services, one of which is timing service. I'm not exactly made of money so if anyone could refer me to a decent shop in the San Diego area, that would be super amazing. TIA!

Don’t everyone talk at once please. Boy the 4th gen group is a lot more helpful.

Thanks Maka, wasn’t sure if I was imagining that or not. Mechanically mine is great but it’s from Arizona and the paint is spent. Did you have a 4th gen?

I love the look of the 2010-2013 and have racked up 265k on my 2004 4th gen but I'm getting the itch to move into something newer. Yesterday I went to a dealer that had a 2013 Limited with 130k miles and checked it out. It was in 7/10 condition but the interior layout felt a bit more like a...
