    2016 Tacoma Bilstein Suspension Swap?

    Bump. Anyone able to answer this? Also who makes the TRD shocks for the new Tacoma? a local is selling a brand new set of suspension components from a 2016 Tacoma TRD. any chance it fits a 2007 4Runner?

    jsmith21's broke college kid build thread

    The black paint wont affect the light projection at all, projector headlights don't rely on a reflective housing. I did mine, its a bit of work but it makes a huge difference in appearance in my opinion, much better. if you decide to do the black headlight mod I'd recommend upgrading your...

    275/65R18 on Daystar 2.5/1.5 Rub

    when I had my duratracs installed with my daystar 2.5 front I had to use spidertrax to clear the UCA according the the tech at the shop. I'm not sure if it was actually touching or just too close for comfort. my truck is odd though because others have fit this exact set up without rubbing and I...

    03 Limited with XREAS and RAS - need advice on replacement options

    rear air suspension is air bags in place of rear coil springs so you'd have to remove the RAS and xreas systems completely and replace with coil springs and shocks. you'd also need the spring seats from a sport edition because the seats for the air bags are different from the ones for the...

    Safety Recall - Smart Stop Technology

    When I made my appointment to get my Keyport slide key programmed they asked me if I wanted this software update and after speaking to a friend that works for Toyota I declined, I feel it's a non-issue I've never experienced this unintended acceleration problem, and wasn't that whole thing...

    Brakes went out this morning! HELP!

    Take it to a dealer, you need a certified Technician to inspect your entire brake system. Definitely stop driving it around like a Russian roulette crash test dummy.

    Interest in Custom built 4th gen V8 4.7 Doug Thorley Headers

    Since we have 4 cats and the o2 sensors are located in between the two sets of cats, if you remove the upstream cats (the ones closest to the motor) then that would probably throw off your readings at the o2 sensor and probably cause a CEL. because the computer will think your cats are faulty...

    Interest in Custom built 4th gen V8 4.7 Doug Thorley Headers

    I'm curious to see what exactly is needed and what will work. it says straight bolt on but that cant be possible with the need to buy aftermarket cats, from the diagram it looks like the stock cats are one solid piece with the stock header, so they can't be reused correct? do cats come in...

    Interest in Custom built 4th gen V8 4.7 Doug Thorley Headers

    just to clarify, which parts of the stock system does this replace? on this diagram, are these headers replacing parts 1,2,6 and 7? or just 1,2,6? are cats provided? or would this erase the cats? isn't that illegal in most places?

    Max Tire Size - Daystar 2.5''/Spidertraxx/18's

    I have the 2.5 daystar in the front and 275/65R18's and Spidertrax and I had to do a body mount chop. I still rub on the plastic back side of the fender liner right where the pinch weld for the body is, it kind of protrudes a little bit right there and my tire catches it if I'm turning while the...

    Pretty sure long tube headers are better for higher rpm range, you'd want short tube headers for better low end torque.

    275/65R18 on Daystar 2.5/1.5 Rub

    Yeah, just use a utility knife, or razor blade of some sort. keep trimming little by little until it stops rubbing. for me, there is a body seam on the rear side of the wheel well that I still rub on, not much I can do about that since its behind the wheel well liner and I'm not about to...

    275/65R18 on Daystar 2.5/1.5 Rub

    The tires don't have enough clearance from the UCA, have to have spacers on. It still rubs when I hit bumps while turning, wish the smaller duratracs were available when I bought these but oh well, one day i'll have a proper 3" lift and that'll fix it.

    Plasti-dip question

    yeah I did 5 coats on the center grill piece, the more the better. even with 5 coats a rock or something managed to pierce it and make it look bad, or some A-hole picked at it. Id do about 5-6 coats, waiting about 20 min between coats, just make sure you don't get carried away with your coats...
