'03 V8 - 267k miles and still on original starter and alternator

Just want these gone. Goodyear MTR 255/75/17, C load. About 40% tread left, mounted on stock 17" wheels, rattle canned with duplicator bedliner spray paint. No lugs. They have been sitting about 3 years and still fully inflated. One tire has plug repair. Date code on tires is 0813, so about 6...

Do the maintenance when its due and it will outlast the frame

Mine is still going strong at 242k, along with no skid plate underneath and no splash guards in the wheel wells for a long time as well. I also did the voltage mod to get an extra .5 to 1 volt to my odyssey battery. Puts out 15v when cold and 14v when warmed up.

Interested in this as well.

I do have 5100s on the front but they are adjusted with the coilovers and not the lift setting on the shock itself.

Interesting. I put Napa MaxDrive CV's in about 1.5 years/20k ago, along with brand new seals. No runs, drips, or errors since.

I have the 895e springs and 5100's in the rear and this is how she sits. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/120012-galactic-gray-thread-11.html#post2469099 Actually came out a little taller than i expected

1- My drivers seat is torn as well. I ended up putting coverking seat covers on mine, charcoal color, just to change the look. 2- You can get both CV axles for about $250 total. You have to pull them to replace the boots, which is a messy PITA job. I just swap them out when the boots go...

03 V8 Limited 4wd. No major repairs, no leaks, just keeps going.

I've always been super anal about leaks in all the vehicles I have owned. Currently at 235k in my 03 v8 and no runs, drips, or errors anywhere. That being said, I have learned on other vehicles that a small amount of oil can make it look like a big problem with the way it spreads around the...

I played this game with an '05 Tacoma and I agree thats pretty much right on the money. Its the weight of the LT tire that kills the mileage more than the size. I ran 285/75 and 255/85 and they were both 2-3 mpg. When I first got it, I put 265/75 on Ivan Stewart TRD wheels from my '01 Tacoma...

My '03 still had the original battery when I got it in 2012, but was ready to be replaced. I was happy to get 6 years out of the optima because I have heard their quality has gone downhill. Its been in temps from -30 to 100 during its life. Putting the odyssey in today when it warms up a bit...

Sorry I'm an idiot. I have a '03 4th gen and this is a 5th gen forum. But it is basically running a high beam 65w bulb in place of the low beam 55w. I originally tried it with running a 9005 65w bulb and those didn't last long. I've been very impressed with the longevity and light output of the...

I've seen the voltage go as low as 10.0 when cranking. Ordered an Odyssey today.
