It's at 177k miles now and motor is perfect with oil changed every 5k miles using Castrol Edge 5w-30 and a WIX or OEM filter.
ICON suspension shocks have been repacked (@125k) once with new strut shafts but it's time for replacement. They are not in...
Picked up my 4R the other day from storage in San Diego. Just got back from a deployment.
After being there for 7 months they gave me the key and said everything was fine. However when I get in to shift her into drive. I cannot get her out of park. Stepping on the brake like I usually do and it...
I feel ya... I got it in my mid 20's. For me it'll go away and come back. I find it usually returns under heavy stress and not taking care of myself in terms of diet and exercise. It never goes away because it's the chicken pox virus. Most people have it dormant in their body. That is if they...
The seal is for the hub really and I wouldn't want moisture or environmental gunk getting into that area. I'm just saying it should be replaced. Especially if it looks like OPs. If he doesn't replace the seal that hub bearing will start to fail/produce noise in due time.

National part number 710573

Operator error. I put weathertechs in every vehicle I own. They are formed to fit but never stack floor mats. I mean maybe on top of the weather techs if they look alright but never on the driver seats floor. The hooks aren't designed for multiple mats.
If you took your Toyota to the dealership...
Got my oil sample analysis back. 3500 out of approximately 4500 miles were while towing across country. Looks pretty good.
Have to edit personal information
a little conerned about the fuel dilution
It's not necessary but a good idea. Especially if you are running a stock head unit. An decent aftermarket head unit could provide a satisfying amount of power to some quality speakers of you want to go that route. Adding an amp on top of all that would be ideal though.
Sound deadening for sure...
FWIW, it appears to be self correcting. Probably the ECU making adjustments as I drive it. I'm noticing it in the throttle, RPM, and gas mileage. Throttle wasnt responsive at first, RPMs were lower than usual and gas mileage was poor according to the dash (I reset it when I noticed the issue)...
