I've searched but couldn't find answers. I'm looking to buy some OE 2015 or later wheels with TPMS onto my 2004. I know the wheels and tires will fit, but I'm not sure if the TPMS will work. Anyone?

Fox has many tuner and rebuilds available from them as well as tuner shops. IDK about Rad. Another option, OME. They work just fine as the high-end Fox brand name. Really, unless you're desert racing, and mostly using the vehicle as a DD, OME is fine. I was about to go Fox on my Tacoma. I...

Gains for MPG?

I plan to replace all my belt and associated parts too. My problem is the prior owner replaced everything at 90k, BUT didn't spend the extra $150 to replace the water pump. So, the water pump has 119k on it, while all the other parts have 30k. I'm going to replace the radiator while I'm there...

What are your wheel offsets are those? What exactly did you trim? Removed the wheel well plastics or ? Thanks.

I like that look a lot! How much lift did you get? I've got those same exact tires and sizes that I want to put on mine as well. The wheels they're on have some more aggressive offset like yours. I'll have to look what mine are. I put them on wo a lift and they rub quite a bit.

It seems like many have rust issues. Mine was a CA car its whole life and has bad rust on the crossmember that the tow hooks and skid plate mount to. Strange. I wonder what youse V8 folks are getting for MPG?

Looks great. I've got an 04' Sport so its got those same square-ish wheel well fenders that seem to have less clearance than other years/models. What UCA's did you use? I've read that some were having problems installing the Fj rear coils, as they don't sit down on the axle properly. How...

Interested depending on price. Any idea? Also, what is the SAW option for Icon?

Good call on doing it yourself. All the dealer installed lifts I've seen use a cheap spacer and wheels and charge a ridiculous price. But advantage there is you're covered under warranty if somethings goes wrong. With a lift installed by the owner, after purchase, depending on how much...

And maintenance definitely helps; painting, cleaning off the corrosive stuff. But a CA car should last a lifetime as long as its not running on the beach and in the snow frequently. I just cant understand what happened to mine to make such rust.

Yeah, I checked CarFax. Service records she had verifies its been in CA as well.

I have bad rust in that exact spot. And mine's a California car its whole life. That exact spot in your picture, the hook can be pulled off by hand. The bottom portion is rusted out and flaking red metal pieces.

IN, depending on final shipped price

I just bought an 04. 120k miles. West Coast NorCal San Francisco. The brace that the front skid plate mounts to and has the two tie down hooks is badly rusted. There's rust in many places on undercarriage. Heck even the aluminum covers on the engine are corroded. WTH!? The previous owner took...
