Came across a good deal on some TRD OffRoad Tacoma wheels last weekend. The guy bought a new truck, drove it home from the dealer, parked it in the garage, and immediately went to putting an 8in lift with 35in tires on it. So, the wheels came with the original Kevlar lined Goodyear Wrangler...

That's just the front lowers. I was going to replace the front upper's too while I had it apart. They're like $40 a piece.

Yeah, I understand it's hard to tell from a photo. I'm also aware that it's a known failure point which is why that grease had me a little concerned. Like I said, it was something I was planning to do in the next month or so anyway because I have no idea when it was last done or if it's ever...

I'm looking on eBay right now and found a complete kit with everything to do UBJ's and LBJ's on both sides for $289. Looked them up by part number on Amazon and for everything that is included in that kit it added up to around $298. That being said, I'm not exactly sure if that's cheap or not...

Thanks for the input everybody! To answer a few of the questions, it's got 173k miles on it. I've looked through the paperwork I got with it, and I can't see where it's ever been done. Doesn't mean it hasn't, but with no paperwork I'm just going to assume that it hasn't. Anyway, I've priced...

Hey all, I climbed underneath my truck the other day to just look around and check things out as I do periodically and found a little grease on one of my ball joints. Not much, just enough to get the tip of my finger a little greasy. No rips or breaks in the rubber. I just got an alignment...

I knew that there's known issues for rear end sag on the 3rd gens, but I didn't know that they were ever actually recalled. How do you know if the work has been done?

Took my running boards off yesterday. Been planning to take them off for a while, but had one of the supports on the passenger side break causing it to sag in the back. So off they came. If the rain holds off a little bit longer, I'm going to try to tackle the oil here in a bit.

I can't really complain about my craigslist experience. Bought my 97 T4R on there from a guy that lives about 5 minutes from my house. I found it online on a Saturday morning. Texted him, he responded almost immediately. Went directly over and looked at it. He lived in a nice house in a nice...

At this point I'm not really sure. LOL. The truck is a 1997. The first one I bought is one of the Scosche TA021's that says on the package it'll fit every Toyota from 1981 and up, and on the back of the package it says it'll fit 4Runners from 1984 to like 2002, and 2002 to like 2009 without the...

I've got a couple questions. My remote got wet, and now it doesn't work. I intend on buying a couple new ones sometime and programming them, but until then, what would happen if I just get in there and unplug the VIP's ECU? I just wasn't sure if those harnesses had to be plugged in for the...

I bought a Pioneer AVH-X2800BT on Amazon that arrived today. The wire harness adapter that I bought that said it would work with my truck actually wont work with my truck, so I'm at a standstill with it until tomorrow, but as soon as I get it going, I'll let you know how it works.

The head unit for my stereo came in today, think I might try to get that knocked out.

Yeah, the only switch on mine that lights up is the switch for the driver's window.

The SR5 Premium is nice! I have a buddy that had a 2014 Premium, and loved it. My 5th gen was just a "base" 2015 SR5. Even the base models are pretty loaded up these days, with the only extra option mine had being navigation. I've never really been a big fan of leather, am a single guy with no...
