    Anyone running OE style manifolds w cats?

    The shop I went to said my primary cats went bad bc I drove around with the exhaust cut up, apparently too much vibration caused the inside of the primary cats to collapse or something. I find it hard to believe but the shop was a friend of a friend of mine so I believed them. They welded new...

    Anyone running OE style manifolds w cats?

    I've been dealing with CEL ever since my cats were stolen 2 years ago. Toyota at the time had a 6 month national back order the parts and the t4r is my daily, so I had an independent shop weld up aftermarket cats onto the existing exhaust system which never resolved the CEL light. I recently...

    2 issues with the drive system when driving any help?

    Is there any way for me to check this on my own? I dont know where the EGR valves are on this engine. Not to sure how to check torque converter either, might need to run that by an offroad shop.

    I have two issues with my rig and I've been too lazy to address it and just been living with the minor discomfort it gives me. I'm finally reaching out for any tips or suggestions to help me identify or fix the problems if any. 1) At around 60-70mph I have a low humming noise when on the...

    Time for new brakes. Input wanted.

    Helped a friend replace all 4 brakes and rotors, he bought oem off eBay from some Toyota dealership in FL if I recall. I think it was around mid 400s for it. The brakes came with new shims and springs, the only thing you’ll reuse is the pins that hold the pads in place.

    Disassemble SPC control arm ball joint to remove coilover?

    Just thought I update everyone and say I removed my coilovers in the manner that I mentioned in my first post. Unbolted the balljoint off the UCA and wiggled the coilover out without having to touch the LCA. Unbolt the swaybar from the control arm and removed 2 bolts holding the ABS & brake line...

    Disassemble SPC control arm ball joint to remove coilover?

    Hi everyone, I'm about to uninstall my Icon coilovers to rebuild them, I'm trying to determine whats the fastest / easiest way to remove them. Could I just remove the (3) bolts on top of the coilover, (1) bolt at the bottom of the shock, and the bolt holding the ball joint to the UCA to allow...

    My buddy has these on his Ram 1500 he said he loves them, were a lot cheaper than his outgoing KO2s. He hasn't really reported any issues with them so we'll see.

    RCI skids do not work with Shrockworks bumper - mod it or sell it

    Going hunting this weekend, so will have to wait to the following weekend. What I'll do is button up the skids with the other bolts and line everything up. Mark it with permanent marker and see how it'll look. It looks like I will need to drill 4 holes into the skid as to play well with the...

    RCI skids do not work with Shrockworks bumper - mod it or sell it

    The difference between 3 skids, you can see how the RCI has a brace/shim in between the skid and radiator beam, where as the other two directly bolt into the bottom radiator support beam. RCI engine skid Shrockworks engine skid CBI engine skid

    RCI skids do not work with Shrockworks bumper - mod it or sell it

    I did a bone head thing and purchased a skid plate without researching enough. I come to find out that the front RCI skid plate does not work with the Shrockworks front bumper. The front two screws of the RCI skid plate screw into some braces that would be underneath the radiator. These braces...
