Lmao. Yea it's a little more than I imagined still choosing "no weight" option. My original shocks and springs were apparently on their last leg, so I was like "yea sure I'll just get get a conservative lift while I'm at it so I can fit my gut up under the skid plate for oil changes". It's...

I wish I did but I know the front was sagging quite a bit so it feels more like I got a 5 or 6" lift lol. I just decided to try a subtle lift since I had to replace the original 238k miles shocks anyway and thought it would be a nice little upgrade. They came preassembled with the coils and the...

Just installed a recommended kit from YM of the Bilstein 5100s pre-assembled with the rear shocks as well. Front coils are 885's and rears are 895E's. I explained I was wanting a 1.5" to 2" lift with a stock weight V6, somewhat level, and zero reverse rake. I was confused with all the options...

Hi all, I've been MIA for a few years... but it has been almost 50k miles and I got another sample and thought I'd share (attached). I had a cracked radiator I had to replace and did another sample for peace of mind. I never did the full flush. Seemingly no issues to report?

Just to verify if I'm filling through the trans fill plug: I'm disconnecting the top cooler line and connecting my hose to the hose (not the cooler) to catch the old oil. Correct? What size OD or ID hose and hose clamp do I need to connect to the exhisting hose? 3/8" OD since the inlet fitting...

Looking to place an order soon. I have a 2WD V6 2008 and I just want to make sure I order the right things. I'm looking to get about a 2.5" lift in the front and 2" lift in the rear. I want it level or a smaller factory rake still. I'm thinking of ordering: Front Coil: C59-302 - V6 - Stock...

Np... I enjoy spending a little extra time/money learning as much as I can. A little extra peace of mind for 30 bucks. I used them for my first two oil changes as well. I feel fairly confident in going through and doing a full ATF exchange with the coolant lines now that I have a fresh ATF...

The Blackstone Analysis came back today: "Based on the amount of metal in this sample, you're probably right about this being the original oil. The universal averages show typical wear levels for this type of transmission after just 38,000 miles. You've probably got some factory wear-in here...

I don't think there's any reason to drill though. After removing that panel and pulling the plastic film off, you have a pretty wide open space for spraying a nozzle around. You can betcha ass I'm gonna do that if I repair it myself this weekend though. Also, apparently the sound deadening...

Well that just sucks. First I've heard of it.

I was trying to find the source of these little bubbles on my rear tailgate: After removing the interior panel, I could find the source. Obviously it has been fixed before: I saw that and my heart sank. I spent so much time this year getting this 4Runner in perfect shape engine-wise and...

You have a shop in Jacksonville that does installs too? I'd like to just come up there to discuss the options.
