Finally.... OME 885/895, Fuel Block D752 wheels, Falken WildPeak AT3W 285/75/R17. OME UCA's, new LCA's, new tie rods and axles. Just picked it up from the shop today. I will have to do a bit more trimming, but it rides great. (Hope the attachment works)....

Front and Rear Diff fluid change. Transfer case as well. Removed the factory running boards. Taking her to the shop Monday morning for the lift and new wheels/tires.:clap2:

I decided to re-coat the rear fender wells before having a lift kit installed in the next week or so. The original wheel well spray in stuff from the factory was completely dry rotted, so spent the time with a putty knife and wire wheel to get 95% of it removed. I used the red rosin paper for...

2005 V8 Sport Build begins I have been lurking here since late 19. Finally ordered the parts for the 2005 V8 rebuild. OME 885/895 springs, OME Shocks, OME UCA's. Ditching the stock wheels for Fuel Block D752 Matte Gunmetal and 285/70R17 Wildpeak A/T3W. Should be 2 or 3 weeks before it is all...

2005 V8 Sport with 174k. Bought it from the 2nd owner in 2019.

Thanks to this thread it was a 15 minute fix to unclog the driver side front drain of my sunroof. Worked like a champ. Now the carpet drying and musty smell removal begins.

TB, water pump etc... was changed by the dealer at 96k. Should be good to go for a while. I'll get some pics, but it is bone stock burgundy. Not perfect, but did not buy it to be perfect. I needed a project. Thanks again for all of the help here. Great forum.

Purchased my used 2005 Sport V8 last week. (165k miles, garage kept). Changed out stuck front calipers, rotors and pads on Friday. Drove it 500 miles round trip to hike Mt LeConte, TN. Great vehicle. Missed my 2018 4Runner and my friend was ready to part with his 2005. Lucky me. Next up rear...
