Can’t seem to find divinities answer anywhere. So here goes… I would to know if TRD pro wheels with 265/70/17 tires will rub on a 2005 SR5 with dobinson 2inch front and 1.5 inch rear lift. Can I go bigger than 32inch? I can’t figure out the offset difference plus the lift difference vs stock...

Thanks for all the input. I’m about to get stuck into it again. I’m hoping something obvious like forgotten bolts (not that I have any spare on my workbench). I’m still suspicious about how it was gushing and not weeping. It took about 30mins for a gallon to pour out. It was a steady thin stream

Do you mean the line that runs to the oil cooler? If so yes I did and I’ve clarified the leak isn’t coming out of that area by the Tstat. I can’t quite tell exactly where the leak is coming from since I can only easily pull the top timing belt cover. I appreciate your help. I’m really annoyed...

Yes I did this.... should I have just gone with the metal gasket and nothing else. Ugh I’m so mad with myself I thought it would help to have more gasket material than less. Why is this not the case?

I have spent a ton of time replacing my timing belt, water pump and all the usual seals etc. I go to fill up my radiator and coolant starts leaking (gushing) from the bottom of the engine. I am double sure I torqued all the water pump bolts to the correct 14ft/lbs and I used a new gasket that...

I’ve had an going speedo/ABS issue with my 98’ 3rd Gen SR5 (225k Miles) for about two years. About 2 years ago my speedo started to become intermittent. It’s got steadily worse over time to where it now only registered my speed about 5% of the time. Until recently it never threw a check engine...

nobody cares more for your stuff than you do. If you can swing it i think you should try moving yourself. Have a good road trip out of it with a Uhaul :)

surprised it could handle the weight :))))

good for all "absolutely dont want to replace this part again" parts!

Interstate for me. By far the beefiest i have come across. Mine is over 10 years and starts my 3rd gen great in single digit temps.

Time for a new fan (not worth trying to fix bearings). This is pretty typical after that many miles. happens on my BMWs too :/

whatever you do only go with OEM toyota LBJs. I used "popular" aftermarket brand and they failed catastrophically on me after only 18months.

I've run AT2 and BFs. Both good tire. KO2 better on wet pavement. equal in the snow. cant go wrong with either but you have to decide if the BFs are worth the extra $$$

if its anything like the front bumper it should come with a big bunch of bolts. I would call them! ps. definitely a two person job minimum.

Just make sure you put an isolator switch (or a fancy $$$ electric load manager) otherwise your toys will drain the starter battery if the second one dies.
