Sorry if I missed it somewhere... Does anyone know the size of the zerks on the u-joint (it came out w/ a 7mm socket)? I have a damaged one (silly rocks in mud).

I'm sure the other me probably filled the threads w/ anti-seize (WHICH IS TOOOOO MUCH!!!). I pulled the plugs and wiped them off so there is just the thinnest of coating (basically no trace) left on them. Needless to say... it takes no time at all to change the plugs on a v12 4runner w/ 0...

Some good info from NGK about the plugs and anti-seize (don't do it)... 5 Things You Should Know About Spark Plugs | NGK Spark Plugs And sadly from my pics above... you can see my plugs have corona. :( It's raining out and can't go anywhere so I may pull them and wipe them off. They all...

Old thread... but its title has the right words in it. Anyone have their anti-seize "dry out"? The plugs were VERY hard to extract. It didn't feel like they were going to break off... they just needed good hard pressure the whole way out. The Driver Rear plug was still "wet" and pulled out...

I found that using a little sandpaper to clean out the "nut" and going slowly by screwing in 1/2 turn at a time... back out and clean... helped w/ all the others. We are now hitch-i-fied!

Does anyone have any suggestions for the rusty nuts inside the frame that keep breaking off? :(

I ended up swapping the Gibson muffler with a Thrush Hush muffler (Model 17633) for ~$31. I had to add a small extension pipe b/c the Thrush was shorter... but it's about 75% quieter w/ NO DRONE! I can hear the Thrush a little bit in the cab when under load (acceleration)... but it's barely...

Thanks all for the advice! It's getting into motorcycle season so the poor truck is sitting in the garage being neglected. The picture inlet of the muffler looks very familiar... I just can't recall which direction I put it. Does anyone know if the picture above is from the "G" end or the...

Hey All... Seeing if I can get a little help. I have a 2007 v6 4Runner and just put on the Gibson system. It certainly is a sturdy little exhaust but it seems to drone more inside the cabin than outside. Outside it sounds great! Inside it gets old after a while. :( I tested for leaks and...

Nothing magical to add other than a "me too" for the tailpipe sheering off at the muffler. :( This truck is niceling and diming me to death! First, a battery after 12-years and now a tailpipe, ugh. :P Muffler shop wanted over $600 for new, sounds like the Walker doesn't last more than...

I'm guessing we killed this one but here are some quick notes to help others in the future... I pulled my filter and drained it 3 times to extract .2L of oil (best way I could think of so I could measure systematically) and it's about perfect now. See image below... Some data points for...

"Fill with 5qts and call it good"... That's normally what I do and what I'll go back to. Being a little over the mark isn't going to kill anything but I'll probably siphon it off after it's had time to clean a bit. I'm sure the lawnmower would love some second chance M1 oil from the t4r. If...

I was changing the oil the other day and thinking to myself... why IS this dumbstick so hard to read??? Nice to know I'm not alone. I have a 2007v6 and I've always filled with 5qts and called it good. The "line" was about in the middle (I think). However, based on manual and what was said...

An oldie but a goodie! Not sure why they were missing on my truck but it probably has something to do with a 1-beer job turning into more than one. Adding the clip back in is super easy with no bolts to remove... Just pull the wheel off and on the caliper, you'll see 2 pins (top and bottom)...

It's been a while but I seem to remember the keys being tight also. I used a little sandpaper and "softened" the edges.. that seemed to help.
