I still have the stock 18inch Limited wheels so I believe I still need a lug nut with the mag seat type and washer like the factory ones. The only problem is that I have had two different sets of the factory chrome covered lug nuts and they both have begun to rust when the chrome cover gets...

Asmara, I am thinking of doing this same HIR upgrade. Have you had any issues with the high beams being 5w higher than stock like melting a bulb housing or wire harness? Have you been happy with this setup now that you have had it for awhile? Thanks for letting us know.

Hello, I am looking to purchase a complete set of the tubular style running boards for a 2006-2009 Sportedition. They must be clean with no damage and no paint flaking off of them. Thank you for your help.

Well before I would even consider plasti-dip I would still need to do some sort prepping... not sure how well it would bond to oxidized aluminum? Plus, I don't think plasti-dip comes in the factory color paint which is kind of like a gun metal gray... a color I would like to keep.

So I was washing the 4Runner the other day and when I hit the running boards with the hose, the paint started flaking off. I have an 06’ Sport with the tubular style running boards. They appear to be aluminum and the aluminum is oxidizing underneath the paint. If they were steel I would have no...

and I found this parked next to me. It is nice to know that I am not the only one concerned with this.

Thanks for the heads up. Man do I look like a goof now. I just went out and checked and sure enough the telescoping lever was there. My steering wheel was already pulled out almost all of the way, but I was able to get an extra 1/2-3/4 of an inch. Any little bit will help. In terms of the...

Not saying for certain this is the issue, but I have read other posts where people are against oiled filters because the oil can make its way to the MAF and damage it. However, I have read just as many posts saying that this is total nonsense and that they have never had issues with their oiled...

I am 5'10" and have struggled to find the perfect seat adjustment for driving comfort. For my legs to reach the pedals right, I feel like I am too close to the steering wheel. If I then tilt the seat back to gain some distance between the steering wheel and myself, the steering wheel is too far...

Interesting. It is on my AOL home page as I type this. I know the first page makes reference to 2012... maybe the later pages are old though. Anyway, sorry if this old news. It was new to me and since it showed up on AOL today, 1/6/12, I figured it was current information.

Agree with the above. I use Tirerack for research purposes and Discount Tire for the purchase. Sometimes Discount Tire is a slightly more expensive, but the free shipping still makes them cheaper. Have them installed wherever you want as long as they have a quality balancer and they are...

Fired up the old interweb tonight and saw this. Use the arrows at the top of the article or the "next" tab at the bottom to scroll forward for the rest of the article. Gold In Your Driveway? Big Demand For Your Used Car

Is there an aftermarket gas cap that works better than an OEM one, or should you just order a new one from the dealer?

That's a good question, I am kind curious about this too. I know I would prefer to buy a stock truck so I can mod it the way I want and don't need to worry about someone else's quality of work. If you traded it in I would a imagine a dealer might try to give you even less for it if they knew it...

Wow! That is quite the upgrade. What kind of dealer was this at?
