You should just post your contact info, makes it easier!

I really like that philosophy, buy on sale and install at my convenience. Funny enough, I was about to purchase some suspension parts over winter, now they are 15% higher price across the board.

Thank you sir, good advice

thank you, very helpful

Hello all, Newb to 4runners, what should I be replacing or doing at 150K mark? When should ball joints, control arms, etc be replaced? Anything else? Thanks!

Are you those mindless morons that just believe everything they hear on the internet? :wacko:

Baby its cold outside :jump:

That's the reason why I thought it was the manifold tick. It 'seemed' to get louder. Maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. Oh well, I'm happy it's gone now.

Nah, this 4runner is treated like a queen. You should see the service records :frisky:

Try swapping to full synthetic. Just got pennzoil full synthetic from jiffy lube and my "manifold tick" is gone. I was 99.9% convinced it was an exhaust manifold leak.

Funny, none of my older cars like my 1996 Honda Civic has any issues with rust driving in salty snowy conditions its whole life.

Fool me once shame on you ...

Lol, seriously? As fast or faster than the V8? Cracked manifold is not a huge concern, does not impact performance whatsoever. V6s have their issues as well. Seems like someone has V8 envy and needs to justify their V6 purchase. Buy a V8. A much stronger engine, and has similar MPG...

debating on leaving them a bad google review just for being slimy

Just to clarify on this because it could be confusing if he doesn't understand what you mean. Your 15.5 mpg isn't accounting for the 8% difference in diameter of your new tires. So this means you need to do 15.5 mpg x 1.08 to arrive at your actual MPG which is 16.74 mpg.
