So the cat was clogged. Had found another leak in the flange just before the cat. Was pretty much shooting hot exhaust straight up to the floorboard (explains the ridiculously hot passenger floorboard). Had the cats replaced and hole fixed and she's back to normal again. It's nice to be able...

Update: Just turned it on and crawled under (thank you lift!). There is a definite leak in the exhaust piping between the 2 cats. Since this would put the leak after the upstream sensor and before the downstream sensor, I could see this being a good part of the problem.

OK, have a 2002 T4R SR5 sport with roughly 148K miles. I've had it for a year and roughly 16K miles. Just returned from a road trip to Colorado and barely made it back. Need to figure out what is going on with it. Symptoms: It has thrown a p0420 code twice, but hasn't done it in weeks. Didn't...

I think the biggest problem I was having was the rental ball joint press I had from O'Reillys wasn't the best fit on the bottom of the knuckle. Using the adaptor wasn't working - the disc is too big and wouldn't sit right against the knuckle. So I had to rig it a bit, but it worked. Passenger...

Finally got it. What a *****.

Man, I'm about to just blow this car up. :D Installing LBJs, suspension, and UCAs. Expected this to be a lot easier but the UCA removal/install has been the worst part of it all. I've gotten the old upper ball joints out, but when trying to press in the SPC inserts they won't go in straight...

Hey TotalAutomotiveLV, just placed an order last week on the ICON remote resi/CDCV for a 3rd gen. What sort of lead times for ICON are expected right now? Just want to have somewhat of an idea on when I should start planning for install. Thanks again for the great SEMA deal on it. Dan

I've been looking at getting an ICON kit for my 3rd gen (2002 SR5 Sport). It seems that all ICON rear shocks (the 2.0 up to the 2.5 w/resi+CDCV) state they are only good for 0-2" lift. That isn't a big problem immediately, as I was looking at OME 906 springs out of the gate. The problem comes...

I got an email from him about the delay. No sweat for me, they're only floor mats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What size tires are you running on those wheels? Looking to pick up a set of wheels for my 3rd gen but thinking those may be a bit too wide.

I gave him the part number for the combined (F+R) set and the cargo mat. I received 2 invoices. One for the front+rear part, and one for the cargo mat. Overall it is still considerably less than going with Weathertech directly so I went through with it. If the shipping is the issue, don't order...

In for 3 sets. Front, 2nd row, and Cargo. 3rd gen (2002) in black. Thanks!

I believe it has to do with how expensive and time consuming it is for companies to launch vehicles and such in the US due to regulatory issues. Things like crash safety, emissions, DOT approval, etc. They would need to invest a lot of time and money in the launch and they'll only do that if...

4-Ripcord, how do you like that Rocky Mountain Rack? I'm on the fence between it and a Gobi Stealth. Only thing I'm hesitant about is it has no flooring/grating to secure things to. Looks fantastic though, love the side panels. Have you ever wished to have something you could secure smaller...

Not 100% sure, but Amazon lists the manufacturer as "Nichibo or Mabuchi". Mabuchi is OEM. I can only attest that it works and looks identical (although every other motor I've seen looks the same too). I also wanted to order from Amazon so it would come Prime and I could get it done ASAP, since...
