just like the title asks...will regearing my rear axle fix the issue of the weak pinion? I've already stripped a set of teeth on a 3rd member pushing my 35s. the plan has been to find a 5th gen or FJ axle to swap in, but I also want to regear. I was talking to a guy last night who has a GX on...

has anyone built a new wiring harness or parts of one? long story short, I've owned my 05 for 7 years and I've never had a working front passenger blinker save for a few months when I first got the truck. I will take responsibility for some of the issues, as I lifted the truck and put 35s on...

ok, reviving this post with a new question: what causes the compressor to cycle? I coulnd't figure out why the compressor wasn't running. I tried replacing the AC amplifier and that never helped. my AC light is solid, but nothing happens. so I ran a switch straight to replace the relay and...

I tested both the new and the old pump on the front pump wiring. they both work. so the old pump wasn't actually dead, just the wiring for whatever reason. J.

in the front or on the rear hatch? J.

yes it does. along with the rear wiper. J.

my rear washer pump stopped working, so I bought a new one. installed it today and...nothing. so I swapped motors and it seems the wiring doesn't work. I checked the fuse for the rear washer and it's fine, even replaced it to make sure. what should I check next? the front washer works just...

awesome! those look great! I've always wondered why a company like Bushwhacker hasn't taken these on. they come off easily, so someone should be able to make wider ones that snap in place... J.

AC Amplifier for a v8. bought used off ebay for $50 + Shipping. I'll sell for $50 shipped to the lower 48. part number is 88650-35190 located in Denver area J.

spent an hour or so tearing the dash apart to replace my AC Amplifier. I have replaced or tested all the components to try to get my compressor to work and this was the last part. I didn't have the exact part number match, but it was from a 4th gen v8, so it should have worked. but no dice...

yeah, I have new rear links. I think I'll put the rear back on and remove the front to see how it feels. would a universal kit from Anti-roc work on the rear? (or the front?) I don't have the fab skills or tools to try that, but maybe worth looking into... J.

I bought a key off ebay for my 05 and programmed it myself with the door lock technique. worked just fine. had it cut at Ace Hardware. J.

I've had my 3" Toytec lift and 35s on for almost 2 years now, and last year I removed the rear sway bar. one of the links was rusted so I just removed the whole thing. rides just fine on the road and I hardly noticed it being gone. I'm curious if I should put it back on and remove the front...

this. I have the Napa HD boot axles and they replace them for free when the boots tear. it's easy to swap out, so just swap in the new one, return the old one, keep it until you need to swap again. I'm lifted 3" and run 35s, wheel probably once a month or so, and I seem to tear a boot once a...

do you have any vids of what your setup sounds like? J.
