06 4x4 v8. I have a white 2006 sr5 v8 with roughly 112k. I have had it the last 70k+ and have taken great care of it, logged all maintenance I have done and have had a great company do everything the last couple years. Just had timing belt and the accompanying work done, mostly stock with...

After struggling a bit and running out of time, I'm going to have a local mechanic do my front tacoma coil swap. The price was sold but he said I should let it settle for a week before getting an alignment. I'm going on a 500 mile 1 way trip to Richmond va on Thursday (swap is getting done...

Thanks for the reply. I do have the kyb sets on the way, should be here Tuesday. The plan was to reuse if the top components looked good and wait for the kyb if not. All of the bolts are seized, it took just about all I had to get the sway bar bushing bolts out. If I can't find a...

Well yesterday I went to replace my stock front struts and coils with tacoma parts. I'm not extremely mechanically inclined but I was able to do the rear shocks and I'm slowly learning. I got everything ready and held the top of the strut with the 8 mm wench while I went to loosen the nut, and...

Looking to move this. Great plug and play upgrade. Will take $125!

Sold! I bought this to install in my wife's rav4 after installing a similar unit in my 4runner. I did not do my research well and it would not fit her gen rav4, so after sitting for a while it's time to sell. it's in great condition and comes with the attached harnesses as well as a new...

Rear Suspension today I spent an embarrassing 6 hours replacing my rear shocks and trying to replace my end link bushings. I immediately stripped the hex part at the top of the shocks to keep everything from spinning (2 days repeated soak in pb blaster). so I tried everything from trying to...

Question Another question hopefully someone can help me with: Thanks to all the great threads, I successfully installed rear fj bilsteins today as well as replaced the passenger end link bushings (driver bolt stripped unfortunately). It was an all day affair with lots of disbelief and trips...

Pmed, still available?

Question to everyone before I tackle this swap. I have a set of fj bilsteins incoming in great shape, I plan on throwing the shocks on the rear and getting fj springs at a later date. My question is, should I grab a set of like new trd sport coilovers for the front and sell the fj struts...

I'm looking to trade my 06 sr5 v8 with 65000 miles. I bought it a year ago and it has good maintenance records and detailed records since I bought it. I lucked out finding such a low mile v8 with the 3rd row, but I have since realized I do not need the 3rd row. Great condition over sized bfg...

Also looking for more info on this. Would be very helpful!

Successfully changed differentials and t case on my 06 v8 without jacking it up at all. Oils were very gross as were the plugs at 60k miles. Very glad to get it done after seized plugs halted me last time. So I have a question for those who may share some of my ocd tendencies. I changed my...

I gave this a try last week but could only get the transfer case done due to seized plugs. Even though I had to give up I hit it a couple times with more pb blaster and lightly tapped the bolts with a hammer. This morning I was finally able to give it another go with a new harbor freight...

Gave this a shot this morning, I started with the transfer case and it went very smoothly. My only concern was that both plugs were the same and neither had magnets. Anyways I cleaned them off, new gaskets and filled and torqued, easy. Next I went to the front as it seemed the tightest fit...
