I installed some KYB gas adjust on my daily driven 4runner and it's been very a smooth ride , not so much with my 245 75 lt tires.. but with the summer 265 75s the ride is really nice. I will switch these out eventually for some bilstiens.

I have a secondary cat from a 2016 Tundra, my original got stolen and the thief cut the flange off.. so I had to add flanges. Been running with the Tundra cat for a few years and it's been great and no check engine light.

Sounds like you got the wrong belt there, I compared my new and old belt before installing just to make sure both had the same amount of teeth. Might be worth getting a new belt from Rock auto and have handy when you tear into this to check it. I feel your pain, just take your time and re-...

I had my cat stolen and I welded in a straight pipe for a few months. I can tell you for sure the power gain was there. Truck accelerated alot easier, climbed hills alot easier and the engine definitely felt free flowing. The downside was the noise and fuel economy hit was too much for a daily...

Removed all control arms and was surprised when all the adjusters just fell out.. I got lucky.. Hoping to press the bushings out tomorrow

I've used FRAM for the past 14 years with no issues... you can use what ever you want. I'm happy with fram and frequent oil changes and will continue to use them. I'm not going to increase the filter size unless I can cut one open and compare the spring rate on the bypass valve..if you don't...

Look at what I found at the thrift store :)

I recently did myoil pan on the 5VZ. 1. I didn't need an alignment after, I checked it with measurements and it was unchanged. 2. I would have gladly paid 1000 for this if I had that option. Took me 2 weekends and evenings after work getting this done. 3. Parts I'd recommend changing while in...

I doubt it will, I had mines stolen and now I've installed Full metal skid plates on all my vehicles. That cable stuff is crap, a cordless grinder can cut through that easily. After mines got cut off, I installed a straight pipe had way more power (no downshift going uphill :)) but the noise...

Get Some P rated tires and your ride will change immediately. for under $1000 cant have it all, either tires only, or spacer lift and P rated tires for the budget you threw out.

I just replaced a ruptured muffler ( after I was running a straight pipe installed after my Catalytic convertor was stolen) no misfire issues when it happened . All repaired now with new cat and muffler. My misfire issue that came up once was a bad plug wire on one of the coil packs, the...

so the last image with the red box you added is actually the removeable panel that exposes the flywheel, that panel comes off when the oil pan is dropped. I removed mines and added a rubber section when i did my oil pan seal. I also used that port to verify I did not have a rear main seal leak...

Congrats on the purchase, you truck looks pretty good for the age / mileage. as for the leak, I cant confirm where it is coming from but you will need to inspect and eliminate the following: 1. Valve cover gasket condition 2. Leaking oil pan sealant ( its not a gasket) Mines looked exactly...

I ended up getting some KYB Gas Adjust from Rock Auto, ride did improve significantly and was initially stiff but settled to comfortable feel for everyday driving.

Here is a Picture of the plate I made for my 5th gen, its a 3/16" thick plate. I did a cardboard mock up and adjusted as needed before cutting the final shape. Bolts have been replaced with a few different types of heads including allen heads and some other features. I removed the two skid bars...
