Pretty sure from '10-'13 there were only 3 Trims available: SR5 (has badge on side) Trail (no badge, but has hood scoop) :hello: Limited (has badge on side) None of this Pro/Premium/TRD/etc stuff you see after the '14 refresh. Though there were some other options for each the trim level...

Looked at my packaging slip from toytec and it does appear I was given the following: Front Top Plate Spacer Kit Since it came "assembled" I didn't think twice about if it belonged there. Going to look into removing this as lift and spacer is more than I was looking for. Think it would be ok...

Not noticing any lean, however there is an additional trim packer installed on the driver side, may be helping with that.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I may need to pull the spacer. Should have checked on them prior, not sure I want to deal with that kdss sway bar again...

The spacer included appears to be 1/2 inch. From what I've found this is to provide 3 inch all-around as the OME alone provides 2.5 up front and 3 in the rear. Measured center hub to bottom fender flare and it is 24 inches all around. Haven't taken it on the highway yet but the steering and...

I did receive the front diff drop, however everything I read stated there was no real benefit. I didn't ask for it in my order though. Could still use if there is some positive gains to be had though...

Finished installing the OME lift with 884 lights in front and 889 coils in rear. I'm concerned regarding this having possibly created "too much" of a lift in the front. Can I get some opinions on if things look "correct", specifically regarding the CV angles. I did install the provided spacer...

Just a quick update. Rod is out. Puller popped it like a cork. Thank you all!

Going to attempt what Antman suggested this afternoon, as well as hammer some more (Think I've been too gentle with it). However getting the removal tool suggested as well in case I have no luck. Will update as soon as I get it out, one way or another. Thank you again for all the help so far...

Thank you for all the help and suggestions thus far. Here is where I stand. Looking for best method to punch this out, seems pretty snug in there: Thought about drilling, but never drilled a bolt before. Thanks in advance!

There's not really a way to start this, except in my stupidity while attempting to remove the castle nut from the spindle of the UCA, I rounded the nut. In a stroke of genius, I thought i could just cut the bolt from above and punch down through the spindle. This was an error and I'm left with...

I follow this: How To: Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Feature - Car and Driver This doesn't help much if you are looking closely along your vehicle (spotting rocks, large cliff edges), but it gets the job done for daily driving. Might be an adjustment to some if used to the "make...

Very nice idea! But what's your MPG now!?

Toyota, Lexus & Scion Recall Lookup For those that want to be extra sure.

I take my dogs just about everywhere I can, and in doing so, have to deal with them going to the bathroom in just about everywhere they can. While you can could easily keep dog waste bags in the glove compartment, in your pocket, in the center console, under a chair, in a pocket, or just about...
