The 35s feel great. The biggest change was going from a mud terrain tire to an all-terrain tire. Also, I noticed that I haven't posted my gear ratio anywhere on my page but I'm currently running 4.88s (Nitro Gears - ECGS). It's still pretty perky.

Life has hit me in the past year. Acquiring a career, buying a house, getting married and planning for another child has slowed my build progress immensely. However, I just finished using the Runner today for the kayaking trip. <a...

Thank you for all of the information and the breakdown Wilson. I know this shop stands by(warranties) their work and would replace it if it were to prematurely fail. I asked them what the part number was that they were replacing, and it was 26-2625. The only one I could find on Amazon was...

Don't mean to bring up an old thread, but I figured I wouldn't start yet another steering rack thread. I just put my truck in the shop because of popping when I turn, and some sloppiness on the interstate. For awhile, I was attributing my symptoms to just having 35 inch tires. Since then, it's...

This rig is amazing! There is a lot of focus on detail and stepping outside the norm. I have subscribed to see this to completion.

So I'll update my old thread. I replaced my 6-year-old Optima Yellow Top with a DieHard Platinum Group 35, not the PM1... I originally did a partial "Big Three" upgrade, by upgrading OE wiring. Then I wanted to clean up my battery area a little better. I also got rid of the wing nuts, added...

Haha, I was about to say. Isn't sand a form of media?

One lucky boy! I'm assuming you know he's the responsible type.

I converted from standard to full-synthetic @ 145,000 miles. No issues for the past 20,000 miles. I change my oil now every 5-7,000 vs. 3,000 miles. (Converted engine oil and transmission fluid.)

NCarolinaT4R: 1) What are your thoughts on value cover situation? I would consider pulling the valve cover and installing new gaskets at some point relatively soon. Not dire, but necessary. 2) Is there anything else I should be looking for/should worry about? Look at the age of the...

None of our 3rd gen money runners have cabin filters. Although, if you feel compelled to clean the fan blades: 4Runners.org - Cleaning Your Interior Fan Unit

Is this a shop that you guys are talking about? I'm actually on the hunt to find a decent Toyota mechanic in Virginia Beach/Norfolk area.

Between the two B&M's: 70268: (Energy rating- 13.000 BTU) Usually ~$55-60 70264: (Energy rating- 14,400 BTU) Usually ~$70-75 I'd personally go with the 70268 with your application strictly due to usage and requirements of your vehicle. You don't stress your truck out on hot days or haul...

How many times in a day do you walk away from your truck and turn to stare at it from a distance a little before leaving it completely? I know I would a lot. That rig is gorgeous!

Frankly, I'm damned impressed that Downpour uploaded some clear photos! I think were nearing something awesome!!
