    Any running the Gibson Catback Exhaust?

    also after having my cat stolen, i replaced my exhaust with a JBA catback and it has performed very well for the last 5 years. good deep tone and quality has held up very well to this point.

    Cat Converter Theft

    i was a theft victim in 2012, in broad daylight. i was able to straight pipe it together for a while with limited issues, but ended up replacing everything and going to the Tacoma mini-header setup(3rzfe) with the bolt on cat(magnaflow) and jba cat back. Also been hearing reports in the area of...

    How solid is your 4Runner? How has it held up?

    other than replacing the original wash board seats with sr5 seats and the gear selector "case" being cracked, i would say the interior is doing quite well after 212k miles and sitting in florida heat.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Finally installed my new brake booster from Rock auto. at a price of $165ish shipped to my house. Fairly straight forward install, took about a hour, do yourself a favor and undo some stuff around the firewall. No need to crack any brake lines, master cylinder unbolts and moves freely enough...

    OEM Brakes comparison?

    Ive been running the Advics ceramic pads. my 1st set lasted 3.5 years with good wear and minimal dust. i had a sumitomo cermaic set before that and they were fairly stout aswell.
