anyway - just replacement on my 2014 with 161,000km the VVTi oil pipe on the passenger side. The crush washer was leaking at the bottom behind the power steering pump. Pretty easy to do provided airbag, PS pump is unbolted and skid plate off. Those banjo bolts are on really tight so used 6-point...

agreed thinking Dasaita V11

no amp so I guess I now have a JBL head unit for sale!

hello, i have a 2014 sr5 with non jbl audio system. the head unit finally gave up. a friend of mine sold me his head unit which was a jbl head unit from a 2018 with JBL speakers/amp. i installed the head unit and everything works. only things that does not work is being able to adjust the...

agreed - because their are multiple unrelated faults its either power feed, ground, fuse or worst case head unit has crapped out Update - anyway suddenly driving home from work yesterday the radio volume went back to normal with a bit of crackle - scared me somewhat! - and all the other...

I’ll do a battery load test as well

Thanks I’ll do that, Now this morning I noticed volume needs to be 30 to listen to radio when usually it has been 20 AND back up camera has stopped working. So it seems all these issues must be related.

engine groans anyway

if anyone is worrying about weights here are my scale ratings for the last 5 years or so. I have airbags, wdh, P3 controller, Bilstein 5100's, transmission cooler. all weights are pretty much with full tank of gas, 3 adults, 1 kid and a dog, plus all the food and stuff needed for a 7 to 10 day...

Thanks- stamped as didn’t want hassle of pavers moving about over the years!

Yes - vertically stored on the wheels and strapped to my tool chest - no way it can fall over. Honestly I was just as sceptical about the 100lb weight of each ramp as everyone else before I got these from Costco. BUT as you are never picking them up and lifting them it does not matter at all -...

I’ve used mine on F-150, Tucson, CR-V, Tacoma and Lexus NX as well - so pretty versatile I think

Yes - truck has 3” lift as well - no way it works in my garage sorry to say. No hooks as I have the 2 ramps wedges safely in a convenient corner. Biggest problem you’ll have is getting sucked into helping buddies and neighbours...

Get the 7000 and suv blocks - I’ve had mine for about a year now and am totally delighted with it. The 100lbs is not an issue as you never pick it up - just rolls on the wheels on the end. You don’t need the pinch weld blocks as it is better just to cut a slot in a hockey puck and save the...
