So I bought the Gibson with the dual side exhaust, as part of the Doug Thorley header buy. If i were to do it again, I wouldn't have gone with the Gibson. After having Toyota install the headers, y-pipe, and Gibson, I still needed to take it to a muffler shop. One reason is because my y-pipe...

So I dropped my truck off at the dealership today to have them swap the exhaust out. My old exhaust decided to start rattling away and I guess it's time to get it done and bite the bullet on labour-$$$. I bought the LT headers, the y-pipe, the Gibson exhaust with right-side exit, and the...

I'd also like to know if there is a solution to the CEL. I put an order in (group buy) with Jason B and was told the spacers would prevent error codes being thrown. If that isn't true, or if there is a certain installation procedure to follow, can someone verify please?

Text him. He's replied every time to me and if you have questions, just say "hey, gotta question. Can you give me a call when you're free" and he does. Very knowledgeable and helpful. If you're on the list, hurry up and go return your empties and Pay Up! .....I should start spraying the...

I've currently got the 2008 (?) Limited 18" wheels (the ones with 6 spokes) with Duratracs. I'd like to get a set of TRD Pro wheels, but only see them in 17". Does anyone sell a replica wheel that's 18", so I can reuse the Duratracs.

Sorry for sounding repetitive, but how do you deal with the O2 sensors with this LT install? As for those of us that like to "one stop shop", is there any possibility for an install kit with gaskets/studs/nuts/etc? I'd probably be down for the upgraded y-pipe as well, although I'm happy to...

I've had to deal with the floppy shifter issue twice. The sleeve that the spring & detent plunger sit in had cracked (bad design because as you shift into lower gears, the angle of the sleeve/plunger changes and it puts too much force on the side wall of the sleeve). How I fixed mine was by...

that's a nice looking 4runner

is there a benefit to the hump on these spoilers ? (vs non-humped ones, which I already have installed).

I've got a 2003 v8 and would be interested in the Long tubes. Is there any write up on installation? Do the O2 sensors need to be hacked up? If you're doing a group-buy, any chance of possibly adding the option to add a new studs/nuts/gasket package on top of that?

I went through this with my '03. My driver's side seat was worn and someone listed a brand new 2005 seat on CL. I ended up removing the '03 seat, putting them both onto a work bench and completely transferred the '03 harness over to the '05. It's not hard to do, but does take a couple of...

I upgraded my front bumper to a Shrockworks one. Selling my Defiant light bar & hardware, along with a pair of 18w LED lights. I have a second set of 18w lights that haven't been installed and a wiring harness and switch I can also include. Looking to get $350us for the light bar & lights...

I received my front bumper this weekend. Was really well packaged in a pallet/crate. My question, for those of you that ordered bumpers - what are you installing in the spot for the 4" flood lights? Shrockworks says "Baja Design" but those are hella spendy @ 3-4 bills. I had ordered a 50w LED...

------- this is so funny...I'm in N Van and just spent the afternoon checking out why my brakes were making noise. I did the same Centric 5th Gen "upgrade" (ordered from Rock Auto late 2015) and am now looking to replace all.

I've been wanting to swap out my noisy exhaust manifold(s) for awhile now, but want to make sure I know what I'm getting myself (more so the mechanic that I need to find to do the work) into. Is there a write up somewhere on this? I have an '03
