With not much rain in your area really the only thing that would do what your talking about is the evap core. AC systems don't cool air, they remove moister from the air and that is what lowers the air temps. If the moister is not draining then you get the problem you are describing. I have used...

I might be wrong but I don't think there is or needs to be a gasket on the trans plug. I have never used one on mine and never had a drop leak out. the plug has a conical seat on it. same for my 99 and 00

882's are a 500 pound spring that is 395mm free height 883's are a 590 pound spring that is 375mm free height not sure if that helps but its info straight from ARB. as far as what ring to put the perch on start at the lowest and see if it gives you the height your looking for and go up from...

I second what is said above and would also like to say. I hope you have a heavy ass front bumper, Because those 883's are stiff as hell. I have them on mine with the tundra 5100's set on the lowest ring. you prolly wont get a full 3 inches ether cause they are the shorter of the 3 that are used...

99 Ltd, have no idea what it was stock cause it had something on it when I got it. Now Front ; 23" Rear ; 25" Front is Bilstein 5100's with 883's and 1/4" top pates Rear is some kinda spring and Bilstein 5100's, I have been told they are LC springs but don't really care cause I like how they...

Or you could use Thermo-Tec heat shield.

Toyota 1" Lower Uniball & 7/8" Heim Steering Upgrade - Solo Motorsports It will only cost you a few thousand lol. OP said price not an issue.

I rebuilt mine and am also in Texas. I don't ever see temps over 205 now with a external cooler and bypassed the radiator. I also agree that yours is running hot but not overheating.

Are you getting and whining noise when in drive? Mine had somewhat of the same issue, over heating but functioning fine for the most part. turned out to be the torque converter coming apart causing extra heat due to slippage.

Is the VIP RS3000 system factory or aftermarket? I have 99 ltd and it does nothing but also have a 00 SR5 that unlocks with key off but doesn't lock automatically ever. I have wondered time to time if there is some kind of programing to it.

Had the exact same issue with my 99. took about 6 months for the torque converter to completely go out.

I would start by getting 2 spark plug anti foulers drill one out and screw the rear O2 sensor into it the screw that into the other and then back into the exhaust pipe. O2 Sensor modification using spark plug non-foulers - Energetic Forum

Bank #1 refers to the side of the engine that has cylinder 1, bank 2 is the side of the engine that does not have cylinder 1 (this is all cars not just 4runners). and the code you have is pointing to the sensor before the cat which is the air/fuel sensor.

All of mine blink even the shift selector light. I never even noticed it until I changed all to red LED's.
