    Thorley Short Tube Header First Impressions

    That's wild! In my simple mind, I'd imagine with tuning, you could certainly gain the suggested 2-3mpg increase, but the sound should be better, too, right?! There's a set of DT long tubes available locally meant for the 4runner but the dude has a 1st gen tundra that be couldn't get to...

    What originally came in this storage area?

    for the higher trims, it was a subwoofer...otherwise, on the Prados over seas, you can find medical/emergency kits...

    5th gen CV axles in 4th gen V-8??

    Thanks for the update and it's great to know with confidence that this update can boast reliable, OEM love!

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I just replaced the bushing in my SPC UCAs to their new X-Axis Bushings, as well as updating to the "maintenance free" upper ball joints...I had a clunk and hated replacing the UBJs to have them leak or need more grease...it was a B1tch to get the old bushings out of the UCAs but man, is it...

    Does 5th gen suspension fit on 4th gen?

    I put on a 5th gen Gibson exhaust on mine, too...just to add to the 5th Gen what-if conversation...

    Door lights flickering

    The LEDs need to be almost siliconed in...they're a lot more fickle in how they stay in the harness than the OE halogen versions...I have experienced the same thing and you can either liberally apply dielectric grease or use silicone to keep them in place without rattling...it's worked for me...

    4th Gen V8 Regearing - 4.56 and 4.88

    Go 4.88! it's like 200 RPM higher at 70mph...the extra torque and driveability is far greater with 4.88s...I don't have these gears but what EVERY single person in other forums and even different platforms state is they wished they just went with the higher gears...200 RPM is nothing

    Exhaust refresh - DT shortys + Magnaflow cross pipe

    That's a solid update! No codes like SUCH a validating success when working on these rigs! Nice works! Looks better than factory and I assume, performs better than OEM!! Where'd you score/find the MF Cross-over pipe from?!

    V8 oil leak at timing belt tensioner and crank position sensor

    I'd take it back and see what they say it is...it could be almost anything...like a poor performing tech service at dealerships...I wish there was an easy answer, but I'd have them check it out! 200k miles, if maintained well enough, is nothing for this engine!

    Under radiator splash cover

    Looks like a solid replacement! Worth a shot, I'd say!

    Want to replace electric motors in transfer case with good old manual levers!

    Incredible achievement on the mileage and Toyota love! Also, great idea and yes, it can be done...however, you will likely need an FJ's transfer case linkages or perhaps an over-seas special...nothing in north America except the FJ stuff...

    Radiator failure but what else

    Radiator plug, thermostat?

    Hi-desert Cheapskate build thread

    You can grab a Ford or GM diode from O'reilly's or AutoZone (seriously just ask for a diode) and throw it in the ALT-S socket fused piggyback and you'd be good to go.

    Middle interior light replacement

    Can you snap a photo of what you're referencing? I think I have the same setup but I'm trying to confirm...I'm wondering if you can just acquire the lens and swap it out from the GX47?
