Greetings everyone! Going to replace both most of the soft and hard lines between the steering pump and the rack, along with the banjo bolt and the “connector tube” that threads into the rack. Working on a 2009 V6 1GR-FE. Quick question: does the connector tube (which looks similar to a pcv...

This is quite a sales pitch! Would you mind detailing the modifications required for this? And just so I’m clear, I can feel safe purchasing used 5th gen OEM coilovers and installing them on my ‘09 4th gen? Thanks in advance….

Cardone I can confirm, regarding earlier posts, that Toyota remans from the dealership are still on a “national backorder” blah blah blah. So here’s the plan: no lift on my ‘09, and with 185K miles I decided on the Cardone “HD” axles from Rockauto (665235HD; $69/each). Since it seems the...

Jersey Built Hubs MIA? Just wanted to chime in and revive this thread with my experience. Bought 2 4x4 hubs from Jersey Built Hubs way back in 2017. I was happy with the quality, but I did have to badger the guy for a month to get him to provide a tracking# and actually send them. Really...

Oh weird; since I was only concentrating on post facelift 4th gens (2006-on, with the 5-speed trans), I didn't realize the earlier Sports had manual seats. Learn something new everyday... So yeah, I amend my earlier question: Is it possible to adapt fully electric seats from the later 4th gen...

Hey everybody! Like the title says, is it possible to gut a 4th gen Sport interior and simply plug it into my SR5? Since the SR5 has the electric lumbar support, is the wiring harness situation already sorted out? Will I be able to simply “plug-and-play” the fully motorized Sport seats into...

Hey Everybody! I am selling (2) front brake rotors/discs that are BRAND NEW and still in their original packaging. ITEM SPECS: (2) Powerstop JBR1121 Front Brake Rotors; 319mm diameter (12.56"), applicable to 16 inch wheels. COMPATIBILITY: PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE...

2006 V6 SR5, just surpassed 205K. Purchased a few months ago at 198K and turned her out as a hard commuter (to/from Manhattan 5 days a week). Needed a few minor things when I bought her (leaky front shocks, torn cv boots, destroyed catback, etc). Definitely want at LEAST 500K out of her, so...

Which gasket? Hey guys! Thread revival here... Just had a quick question about which gasket to choose for the thermostat replacement. On Rockauto there are 2 distinct shapes - triangle and circle - that are available. For example, Fel-Pro makes both styles, part#s 35767 and 35801...

Are you asking me? If so: no, I believe my catback is stock (but I can't really be sure. Just bought the car a week ago from an indifferent Ford dealership, who didn't care about its history). Yeah, I saw that quote elsewhere, and it worries me. That's why I'm going to cover it in rustoleum...

Thanks again for all the responses guys. Very educational. So it is now apparent that other things are going to suck money out of the budget (new front axle shafts, rear shocks, gotta source a replacement sunroof that doesn't cost $500), so I think I'm going to go with the Walker/Rustoleum...

That's what I figured. Don't have a sawzall, unfortunately, so I'll just have to rely on prayer and PB Blaster. So let me ask you this - if my primary concern is rust and overall durability, couldn't I just buy the Walker catback at an economy price and just hose it down with hi-temp...

Thanks so much for the info guys. Really appreciated. Quick follow up: The rusted bolts that you speak of, are they part of the permanent undercarriage, or are they bolts that are simply part of the exhaust that I would've replaced anyway? Are you talking about the bolts that attach the...

Wow. Ok, well given the amount of time I devoted to finding a frame that wasn't rusted through here in the Northeast, hearing that Walkers are rust-prone is a huge red flag! Any suggestions as to what I should seek out? Borla? What did you end up going with? Thanks...
