    Time for new tires (last set big disappointment)

    here to recommend Falken Wildpeaks as well. Outstanding wear pattern, balance great, I have about 38k miles in 5 years and they still have great tread.

    Wheel offset vs rubbing

    For reference, I run an aftermarket wheel that is 16x8 -10 offset. It sits the wheel perfectly at the edge of limited flares, wearing a 265/75R16. I only rub, OCCASIONALLY, on the driver side pinch weld. I am not lifted. It rubs so infrequently/inconsistently, I haven't bothered clearancing or...

    Bumpers front and rear

    For a direct replacement, 1996-1998 should be identical to your existing.

    1999 4runner sr5 or 2007 tacoma trd sport

    Agree with the above. This is a pretty apples and oranges comparison. Can't comment on the pricing of the Tacoma but 4Runner seems ok... Interesting to me that you're looking at two widely varied price points. If you have the budget for the Taco, if it we're me, I'd look at a late model 4th gen...

    keyless entry beep volume

    Same problem as those above, buzzer barely audible, tried increasing volume via the above method, and it doesn't get louder. Replaced the unit to no avail. Looking for solution too...

    Valve Cover Gasket Question

    I just did mine but used OEM Toyota for everything. Based on that, I can confirm what you already know about the pricing difference ; that kit is well priced! I can't speak to that specific brand, but if I was you and considering that kit, the excellent reviews on it would make me sleep well at...

    Overheating, blown radiator, other issues?

    I'm sure you are fine. In my experience, if your rig only got up to 3/4 hot on the gauge, you are still a good ways from truly over heating. Be glad you caught it when you did ! But sounds like you are fine ..

    Brake balance adjustment?

    Came here to say this. If you are a DIY-er and have never done drum brakes, don't let them scare you . Please update us if you fix!

    Need some advice tonight please on a 4Runner

    I have an 03' v8, one previous owner, limited, loaded, extremely well maintained, 140k, I bought it in January thru a private sale for $10,300. I'd say $9,000 is a good deal, but be prepared, I drive very light footed, and calculate gas mileage by hand every fill up, I get around 16 and do a...

    TPMS BS from NTB?

    If I were you, I would call a Toyota dealership tomorrow, and tell them you want a price on all 4 TPMS sensors. Provide them with your VIN, and see what they say. Cut out the middle man and confirm for yourself. If they say that the vehicle isn't equipped with sensors, try to speak with a...

    CVT Roof Top Tent.

    Very very cool. Roof tents have always intrigued me. Does it require an aftermarket roof rack/basket? Or can factory racks get the job done?
