Love the fake hood scoops on the SEs! ;)

I like to use a DOT 4 or 5.1 Synthetic brake fluid. Motul and Valvoline seem to work well and stay cleaner longer than the DOT 3 stuff that comes in most vehicles. I use Toyota coolant and ATF, and a good synthetic gear lube in the differential. Mobil 1 ATF for the power steering. :hello:

I completed this on our '07 with 140K miles on it over the Christmas Holiday. Used a whole case, 12 quarts, to complete the flush. Fluid came out initially brown, now it is a nice dark cherry red. Thanks to the OP and all the contributors. For my tranny, 15 seconds of run time pumped out 1...

Year: 2007 Tire Size:265/65R17 Gear Ratio if you know it: Stock 2WD, 4WD or AWD: 2WD Current highway fuel economy: 20 MPG V6 or V8: V6 Only have taken one hiway trip, and this is what it averaged out. The trip computer is so wrong, at least 3 or 4 mpg optimistic! I get 17-18 mpg around town.

Installed these yesterday and they are a big improvement over the stock incandescent lights. I back into my driveway and these really help to see the edges of the concrete at night in my mirrors. Thanks OP and all the contributors, just hope they last!

OP and contributors, thanks again for all the good info. Ordered a Toyota specific dual 2.1 amp USB port from Amazon and installed it in less that 15 minutes this morning. Works great! Hope my new backup LEDs come today so I can put them in tonight!

Wanted: 17" Black TRD Wheels Picked up an 07 SR5 for my son a couple weeks ago, and would like to put some black TRD wheels on it for him. Anyone in the HSV, AL area have some rims they want to get rid of?

I just ordered a set, will report back again once I install them.

No, some of the HVAC control bulbs have a green sleeve while some are just clear. The parts guy "probably" was selling you the correct bulbs. You can also search for them on Ebay, and even Rockauto has some Dorman replacements for a couple of the part numbers. I got all mine from Ebay (OEM...

Wanted: Rear Cupholder and Weathertech Mats in Gray Hey Gang! Just picked up a V6 2WD 07 SR5 for my son last weekend. The rear slide out cupholder is broken, and I want to put Weathertech mats in it. Need them both in gray for just a 2 row T4R. Anyone got stuff lying around they want to get...
