Hi All, Full disclosure: I was provided a set of 3000k LEDs by Auxito to review. After 2 months of use, I was happy with the performance and wanted to share my thoughts. I subsequently also ended up buying a set of H11 6500K LEDs for my mom's CRV projector housings with great results. I also...

I have a 2007 V8 SE AWD, I would imagine the throttle/petal plug is the same for all 4th gens. Worse case, it's an easy Amazon return. -Bill

Hello All, I picked up one of these just to try out. Was pleasantly surprised and thought I would share. Amazon.com: GZYF Car 9 Drive Mode Electronic Throttle Controller Auto Gas Pedal Booster Compatible with Lexus IS220 IS250 IS350 LS460 LX570, Land Cruiser Hilux Innova Mark X Prado Tacoma ...

I know 0-60 times do not tell the whole story, but I would LOVE to see this comparison! Make it happen, LOL! Thanks for your insight. Overall, I don't think I'm that much faster than a stock V6, but I just like the "feel" of the V8. It's nice to know that a SC sounds comparable.

Ha, I guess I meant "useable" for small kids. I have a 4th gen sport edition, so no 3rd row currently. The design of the 4th gen 3rd row is horrible (folds off to the side and takes up trunk space). At least the 5th gen folds away nicely.

Interesting and good to know - I didn't realize there was a difference in the v6s on the 5th Gens.

Hello guys, Just curious if there are any current SC 5th Gen owners that previously owned a 4th Gen V8 that could offer a comparison. I love my 4th gen v8. Just really considering a limited 5th Gen (useable 3rd row and styling updates). Mainly want to know if I would have any regrets if I...

PM'ed you (if still available).

Hello All, I normally wrench on my own cars, but looking to get some work done because of time. Ideally, someone who knows our trucks (I have a 2007 4R Sport V8 4WD). Basically looking to get my DT headers installed and timing belt/WP service. Any recommendations are appreciated. I wouldn't...

I actually went this EXACT route too, but my kids really wanted to keep the cloth seats (since my other cars have leather) and I sold them before I got a chance to install. I agree, Clazzio is top-notch and installs right over the cloth. I liked the PVC over leather for the durability and hard...

Hello All, Recently noticed my 2007 4R Sport Edition cloth seats were starting to fade/wear on the lower drivers bolster and wanted to do something before they rip or tear. I stumbled on these on Amazon and they are a really close match (I have no affiliation with the product). Amazon.com...

Hello, I have a wood jig I setup to help weld a set of cats/Doug Thorley V8 shorty headers for my 2007 4runner. It huge and heavy, but free pickup in NE Ohio if someone is planning for this project. Just PM me. -Bill

I've done a few sets with the rattle cans. Any winter driving will require touchup within a year or 2. For cars not driven in snow, it's not too bad. Prep and many light coats is the key. I heard Summit Racing or Eastwood has a 2-part epoxy paint that is supposed to be more durable. Can't go...

Hi, Can you provide the width, offset and tire size? thanks! bill

Hey guys, I have a set of the shorty headers I plan to install soon. For those of you that went with high-flow cats, how is the highway cruising noise? Was it noticeable? I want to go with HFC's, but concerned that any drone/noise would annoy me on long road trips. Also, I plan to keep my...
