Sorry for the spam, but I wanted to have as many eyes see as possible to give me their opinion, before I waste my hard earned money. $2000 difference is a lot for me. I do not remember if I mentioned 3 year warranty and you can send parts back for free. They said they can ship by air Fedex...

Here is some more photo (8 seems to be the max)

Since it is my hard earned money, I needed to be careful as well. I asked the seller more detailed information to make sure its not scam or some cheap stuff. This is what they sent me, let me know what you think based on what you see. More research is needed obviously, since 1GR-FE is very...

So this supercharger uses EATON TVS1320 body which is made in australia. Only added parts are chinese. Air fedex shipment and 3 year warranty total $5050. I guess they are big in Europe and on Mazda technology. They also have authorized reseller certification from Eaton. They are claiming 140Hp...

Hello, Has anyone heard of VT supercharger (http://www.jiasu-auto.com/prado-27_91213.html) It costs around $5000 and I have a local guy here who can install it altogether for like $5700. He has appearantly installed on many other 4runners and claiming that it ran with no issue for 12K miles so...

Sorry to bring back the old thread back. Sounds like someone had issue with Bando making noise etc and went with OEM. Who makes the OEM one? I thought Bando was the OEM. Does the Toyota OEM one have any brand name? I want to just go with OEM one with peace of mind.

Sorry, it is not that issue where 4lo flashing etc. This is just me simply trying to enter special factory setting that allows you to measure operating Transmission temperature without any special tool. Entering that mode is pretty tricky apparently.

Hello All, I am in the process of doing drain and fill transmission fluid on my 16 runner. I saw video of older 5th gen video of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUAuGmDGntY&t=586s&ab_channel=TheCarCareNut shown here. Since my dash is different looking my truck is not showing the same thing...

Recently as i was looking into portal axle of G63, I stumbled upon an interesting company I never heard of before called Werewolf from Ukraine. They have portal axles for Jeep, Bronco, Tacoma, G Class and many other models. I liked their youtube channel and the company seems legit. I recently...

After checking out many different slim bumpers, I bought Body Armor brand slim bumper for $564 from The Best Deals on Aftermarket Bumpers & Front Bumper Replacements | Bumper Superstore (includes tax, shipping and its powder coated, used $25 off coupon). It was little cheaper than Amazon. Sounds...

I have looked around different slim bumpers and leaning more towards with low bull bar. I do not really like the look of high bull bar. There are very few companies making low or mid bull bar slim bumpers. I found the following C4 has option to select mid bull bar(no powder coating) = 899...

I have been trying to decide between the 2. I know that if you want full protection full size bumper is better than slimline one. But I already made up my mind on the slimline type of bumper to keep the OEM look and weight down. Now for the question, will the slimline bumper hoop provide more...

I like my Duratracs. They did well. No flat tire or sidewall ripped. I have driven it through various type of terrain. It does well on road. AT duratrac is not as good on slippery mud that is expected. I had it for 5 years and no dry rotting or crack. Only balanced it once.

Here is the update: I got demineralised water( apparently there is no distilled water here) and used plastic syringe and filled up the 6 valves in the battery. Originally I thought the water level is well below low mark was wrong assessment from my part. After shaking the battery I can see the...

Thanks for the tip. I used light to see how low the liquids were and they were about 1 inch under low mark. The battery is 5 years old and still holds charge and never had any problem. I am surprised how well it is doing considering how low the acid/water level is. I am going to fill it up...
