^^^ Agreed, no point in having a modded out truck that isn't running well.

Without knowing what transfer case you have, from the sounds of your post you have AWD therefore you have the center locking diff button on the dash or your center diff lock engages when you pull the 4wd lever into 4hi. If this is the case your best option is to check your vacuum lines for your...

Is she over 50 and Asian? Because that would be a hurricane of destruction waiting to happen!:lookout: Ok... just kidding :bigok: Lets face it, there are some pretty great woman drivers out there; and yes, the FJ does provide its driving challenges, but IMHO inferring that a girl should not...

I know this may sound overly simple but they are not mentioned in your post of things you have changed/checked. Try air filter and fuel filter. These become more critical under higher power demands, but might not show up under normal operations until there is more of a blockage. The higher...

That f*cking sucks man, I hope the cops catch the a**hole that did that to you!

I knew that scenery looked familiar... I'm just down the road on the BC side!

Nice pics, where in Alberta were you guys wheeling?

Trany fluid looks great IMO. I run my level around the same. My next best guess would be wheel bearing/s or like others have mentioned the rear axle seals. It sounds like you are having to overcome a rolling type force that goes away once it warms up. Try (while it is still cold in the morning)...

Have you checked the transmission fluid?

I would check the wires leading away from your headlight to see if they meet up with the horn wiring at any point (behind the grill maybe). Sounds like there may be some chafing happening. Assuming the fuses are good etc.

oh... and don't forget SILVER.

Funny thread... I thought a lot about prepping when the Japan earth quake and tsunami hit. One of the first things that happened, for the normal folk in the surrounding areas, was a run on the groceries stores. The shelves were empty in less than 48 hours and people were lined up around the...

Finished the transmission oil cooler upgrade, 231mm Tundra brake upgrade, and put my old lights back in (the aftermarket one have a sh*tty beam pattern imho). On my drive from the Eastern Kootenays this happened right in front of me; no injuries just a little shook up. (literally and...

I know someone has already mentioned 'pick' I would just like to second that option and add that there are several tips that can go on picks, I would choose a o-ring style tip. They also come in several lengths. Good Luck! (the oring tip option has the yellow at each end)

First thing I would do (without knowing anything regarding the maintenance history) would be to check the spark plugs and wires. From the spark plug you can tell a lot about what is happening in the cyclinder, rich/lean etc. also make sure your gap is set right and that it is firing correctly.
