Alright guys and gals, I've got a bit of a dilemma, and would love a few suggestions. My T4R: '07 SR5 V8 2WD w/ 3rd Row (removed to save weight), K&N 63-Series Air-Charger, TRD Radiator Cap. It has 76k miles. My Situation: Back in school for a second degree Civil Engineering after 3 years of...

Essentially they toss injector cleaner into the gas tank (various brands, ~$10 at an auto parts store), spray clean the MAF sensor (various brands, ~$8 a can at an auto parts store - and you only need a few sprays!), spray clean the throttle body (various brands, ~$12 a can at an auto parts...

Experienced something similar in a 2005 Tacoma PreRunner 4x4 I used to drive for work. Random screeching sound and random feel of a downshift. The downshift feel was also noticed when idling at a stop and both where most common after shifting into reverse, but prior to releasing the brake (so in...

Firestones are kinda known for that... two articles on Jalopnik yesterday alone about it: here and here. CORRECTION: Re-read second article and saw it wasn't a Firestone... nevertheless!: Personally, they tried to tell me they need to unbolt a rear differential inspection plate to change my...

I got the touch-up paint from Toyota to ensure a 100% color match. Looks pretty good too. Used Touch-Up Magic by Turbo Shine to ensure a smooth fill on my scratch.

Okay... after reading about the infamous "driveline clunk" and going through my maintenance documents and seeing that the Toyota dealers I've taken it to through the years never attempted it, I did my own Diff. Fluid change. At 75,000 miles, regular maintenance holds that it should have been...

Anyone try the Gibson?

Also been considering the Gibson exhaust from Burtman Industries: Burtman Industries Same price range. How's the bang for the buck?

You got it! My bad. ...in terms of upgrades, I failed to mention that I ordered (but haven't received yet) LEDs for the interior the other day.

Thanks all!

Got a few dollars sitting around (willing to spend about $350) and the Bilstein 1500s are right in my price range. I would be using the stock springs. I've got two questions: 1) Could someone who has done the switch give a fairly detailed description of what they think post-op? I mean more...

Thanks for the help. Ignore the photo attached. Have to upload it to have a URL for something else.

Been looking to do it, going of the info on JA's page and Googling around has gotten me to a few LED websites. JA's source, V-LEDs currently lists a bunch of the bulbs he used as "Sold Out". Some of the other sites, to be honest, seem a little less than reputable while others lack enough...

Can't agree more. Dealer quoted me $300 for a plug change... no way I was paying for that when I know that I could get the parts for $56.

Thanks guys!:banana:
