Its been slow for me for a good couple weeks now. Any of you guys experiencing it?

Yep. You have Xreas. Its pretty straight forward and easy to remove. Just replace them with bilsteins and either keep the OEM springs or get some cheap lightly used FJ springs. Matt

Is it a v8 or v6? V8's have a timing belt which I would replace since its about 100k miles or so you think. V6's have a chain so you should be good. If you don't wheel often engage the 4x4 for a couple miles to keep things running smoothly. Also, engage 4lo on dirt or sand to keep the...

Awesome thanks! Im just wondering though, why didn't the A/T Temp light come on first before the fluid got so hot that it came out the vent?

The beeping is from the yaw sensors for VSC detecting your sliding sideways, not from the traction control.

My god, why do you commute that far?

Worked for me.

I would say even then in his Olds it wouldn't mess up the engine from mixing octane. Probably just coincidence that his engine went kaput.

haha no worries! Awesome Runner nonetheless.
