    Adding a transmission oil cooler

    I'm in the same boat....I'll make the assumption that you're a 3VZE, and the A340F auto. Further, I'll also assume that you have A/C (not sure I've seen a V6 2nd Gen without). What makes this tough for placement of a trans cooler? The A/C condenser in front of the rad eats some space, but not...

    Front brake problem

    I just went through this pain myself. In the 2nd Gens, this is not quite so easy....a rebuild of the front hub is worth while doing at the same time since you have to tear it apart anyways. New inner/outer bearings, seals, and associated hardware would be my recommendation. An axle seal...

    Rollovers....how likely are they?

    Excellent question...but really NOT a concern for you and your 06, IMO. Will your COG change? Yes. Will it feel different? A bit. Here's a story: My previous Toy was an 82 LWB, that was *mostly* stock. :) I ran Jeep CJ5 rears in the front, and Grand Wagoneers in the rear. Shocks were Rancho...

    **** Cepek Mud Country review

    Back Country travel: As mentioned above, this is where we see our bread and butter for the next few years. Exploring, expeditioning, fishing, hiking and of course camping. This involves a load of gravel road travel, mild wheeling, mud, sand, snow etc. We have ran the tires at 20 and 18...

    What questions should I ask before I make a trip to see this one?

    Timing belt/chain...last time it was changed. Not sure which year, without some google work, that the chain was replaced by belt...more than likely a belt.
