Sorry to revive an old thread. Anyone have experience with LiftSupportDepot.com liftgate struts? I installed a pair of high-lift struts back in Feb, and one failed about a month ago. They sent 2 replacements, and right after I got it replaced, the other side failed. Replaced it, and both...

Reviving an old thread here, but-- When I was a 3rd gen owner, we were swapping our nozzles with Honda Odyssey nozzles, like this. Anyone know if this works in the 4th gen?

Thanks all for the advice on how to deal with the insurance company, and for the sentiments. I too am super stoked about being unscathed. To those asking what rubber it was wearing--I indeed had Duratracs on it. I have always been an outspoken proponent of winter tires. Any other tire compound...

Sad day today. New winter tires were on order, but had a bit of bad weather going up the canyon this morning with some pretty impressive road glazing. Was driving super conservatively, but a deer showed itself, so I let off the gas and gently steered away. That was enough to get her out from...

Thanks guys. I'll check the diff breather this evening.

I recently had a shop fix a rear axle seal that was leaking on the passenger side. Now my driver side is leaking. Is it likely that the work they did caused the driver side to begin leaking? I probably should have done both at the same time, but was of the opinion that if it ain't broke, don't...

Did you just cut away all the plastic and stuff that hung below the bumper in front of the wheels? I just got my Coastal High Clearance on, and there's a lot of junk (including that reservoir on the passenger side) showing.

I'll be grabbing a bumper shortly, and wondering on this one. I know tubing is to protect from animal strikes, but from what I can tell/know, a grille tube will just deflect the strike to the headlights and fender area, so you're not protecting yourself. Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there...

I have running boards and a tan/beige cargo cover for a 99 SR5 for sale. Wanted to give you guys first dibs before I post them on ebay/CL. I'd rather do local pickup--it would be a pain to ship these. The running boards are in great condition. some cosmetic rust on the mounting brackets but the...

Finally got around to the odyssey sprayer nozzle mod. 5 min never made such a big difference on my runner!

This was the most relevant thread I could find on the subject, so sorry for reviving! I know the general consensus is that hoops/tubing on the cheap brush guards people put on tend to cause more damage with animal strikes than protection. Is that not the case with steel-plate bumpers like...

Huge thanks, brillo!

Not a bad price! How much of a PITA was the swap?

Can you let me know what wiring harness you ended up with? I started looking into this towards the beginning of the year but got distracted with other projects.
