Over the last few weekends (@ 60K) - Engine Oil/Filter - Transmission (4 quarts, drain/fill - drain at check valve at temp) - Front and Rear Diff - Transfer Case ($$$ but got a really good discount at local parts dept) *All new gaskets and plugs - Coolant Drain + Fill (Radiator and Overflow...

Last fall, I replaced my stock Panasonic battery (after 7 solid years) with a stock-size AGM (Diehard Platinum) and now occasionally trickle charge it. I wanted to test a small hood mounted panel solely for trickle charging. Went with the Cascadia 4x4 Solar controller (solid unit with great...

I did just upgraded my suspension with a light 1" Dobinsons lift, but does anyone know if these struts fit the 5th gen? @ 0:24 Funny I have a similar grunt when doing any work on my 4R. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=FV9YEA2Cg7ZWZ7r1&v=6r-Z9_apDmg&feature=youtu.be

2018 with 60K miles. Well technically 59K to be exact, and I was already planning on changing the serpentine belt and idler pulleys (No 1 & 2's) this fall. Belt still looks decent though, I did notice the Idler No 2 next to the alternator is corroded and has a bit of play (wobble) to it where...

Has anyone experienced this? In drive with brake pressed down, turn on AC and it starts. Turn off AC it stops. When driving no noise and AC is working. Serpentine belt looks good, an idler pulley maybe? AC compressor clutch also came up in my research. - YouTube

Added Perry Parts bump stops. Since I just did the suspension and sway bar bushings, figured I'd round that overall project out with new bump stops. A little pricey but I did like the tech behind the product and the company's story. Also did some Woolwax touch up with the wheels off, and...

Recently I upgraded my suspension (mild Dobinsons lift (3/4" Front - 1/2" rear) and new stock size KO3's. So I decided to replace the front and rear sway bar bushings and the rear link bushings. Do these look like they need to be compacted more? I'm trying to go off of what the originals looked...

New set of KO3's (including spare) and alignment for the summer. Stock size 265/70/17 E (yes E) Coming off where stock size KO2's C - 6 years and just over 52K miles. Still good tread left, just getting old. OCD with being 1-2 PSI of 44 PSI 120lbs usually of constant weight in vehicle...

HA, thanks Mike! Yeah, a solid yearly (spring + fall) Woolwax/Fluid Film routine has done her well! Not the most enjoyable two days of the year but a labor of love I guess!!

Finally upgraded the stock suspension on my 2018 TRD ORP after 7 years! (6 New England winters). I wanted a slight lift and a “Pro” ish stance: - C59-238 Front Lifted Coil Springs - GS59-700 Front Struts - C59-323 Stock Height Rear Coil Springs - GS59-701 Rear Shocks Mike @ Exit Offroad was...

Yes bracket and harness was included, you just need to make sure you add it to your cart when checking out. When you add your vehicle info (year, model etc..) it will show the brackets and harness.

was pretty impressed with them, and after a couple days of listening to a good range of different music I ended up ordering the rear door Kickers 46CSC54 ($70) and MTX ($50) for the hatch (no Kicker option there)
