Anybody have experience with this stuff? Probably crap, I dunno, but the price seems pretty damn good & wouldn't have to mess with pressing any balls/bushings... Control Arm Front Upper Lower LH RH Set of 4 for Toyota 4Runner FJ Cruiser GX470 | eBay Front CV Axle Shaft Pair Left Right Set of...

Don't worry about battery life, all brands the basic battery will probably not meet your needs. Whether you go with Sony/Nikon/Canon just go to Amazon.com and pick up the Wasabi brand batteries and chargers for whatever model you get. Cheap, and usually get 2 batteries + charger in a $20 or...

Ahh, OK, yeah the brake dust covers are fine. No grinding sound ... The sound / feeling I get is more of a rubbery / catchy sound, like the pads are a bit grabby, but only happens when I apply the brakes, like backing out of the driveway or something... for the first few stops of the day, then...

How about a California regardless of age thread....? Would love to meet my fellow T4r folks. Under 30, meh.... in a couple years your over 30 and then what? :p

Just want to make sure we're not confusing point & shoot with the Sony DSLT line... totally different. The alpha/minolta lens a-mount models are true DSLR cams (well, DSLT to be exact), whereas the Sony NEX models are super compact but exchangeable lens type / e-mount.... I believe Nikon &...

brake dust covers? you mean the shims? as far as the shims I installed them all with a bit of brake grease, but that was pretty much it. Not sure about brake dust covers.... all I have is rotor, caliper, shim, pad...??

Interesting. I've always wondered about them as they show up a lot in google search results... Never have ordered from them though, kind of suspected it was a middle man china deal or something. Thanks for the post.

So I put all new rotors all around, all new pads (including ebrake shoes), all OEM Toyota... but I notice a weird noise/feeling on the first few stops of the day. Don't know how to describe it, guess it would be.... come to a stop, slowly let off the brakes, then get a rubbing noise like if you...

I think we're getting way off topic now hehe. But all points taken, the D800 is a beast no doubt. Curious to see how this turns out with the OP's purchase. All I wanted to do was throw into the mix another option that many don't realize, is that the Sony DSLT line is a nice alternative to...

I guess this doesn't count eh? :p Sony Alpha a99 Full-Frame DSLR Camera | SLT-A99V Review | Sony Store

Yeah I think the OP has it narrowed down to APS-C sized sensor, which is best bang for the buck on entry level DSLR, and really no need to lug around a crazy heavy full frame, whether it be Canon/Nikon/Sony. All have their full frame big brothers but they are all very expensive, heavy, and...

For the Sony 'e-mount' lenses (i.e. the NEX/super compact family), the lens library argument would be valid, ... but for the a-mount/alpha/Minolta mounts that the A65 uses, there are well over 100 lenses available, including several Zeiss and G lenses, which are fantastic, plus all the...

I know I'll probably get shit from the Canon/Nikon die-hards for mentioning it ... but you might want to take a look at the Sony Alpha line, they're really nice. I have an older A55 with the Sony 18-250mm lens as my go-to setup. Small/compact, easy to take on trips, and I've taken some wicked...

Just an update, was $140 at the dealer for full brake flush bleed. Getting ready for a trip so just needed it done, but man that sure felt like a rip! :wow: Guess I shoulda expected it tho as they wanted over $1500 for the timing belt job we did ourselves last week for <$500 parts...

Thanks guys, yeah I followed the procedure for the front right, doing solo sucks I probably went through 20x back and forth using a stick to push the brake pedal, then go bleed, then back/etc. Still getting bubbles. I think I'll just take it in and get it done right. The jar full of fluid...
