Looking at few 1st gens for a second car to play around with. I also have a 4.7 4th gen that I use as my daily, but have always wanted a 1st gen. Some have rust in my area (southeast), but wondering how bad the rust is on the following. Looks like this is the rear crossmember above the rear tire...

I really appreciate the detailed instructions. We did try a pry bar but maybe not the correct way. Doused it in PB last night and will head back to try again tonight. We already broke 1 mallet, frustrating as hell.

Does this work?

Installing new struts and springs in all 4 corners and the factory drivers side front strut is completely stuck. Passenger side was ok getting out, rear two struts required sawzall. Have tried PB blaster, torch and sawzall with no success. Already pulled xreas so rolling it to a shop will be...

Just received my assembled front and back spring/strut combo from Dobinsons. I've never installed a lift before, so I was looking for any guide or help on installation. I found the OME installation guide on the suspension sticky, but I wasn't sure if anyone had a more detailed guide, tools...

Thanks, I meant the valve stem themselves though. I will transfer over the sensors

Have had my TRDs sitting in my living room for 9 months. Finally putting in my Dobinsons lift on Black Friday. Going with Falken's as well. I don't see a tire valve stem coming with the wheels or tires, does anyone have any that they recommend or will any one work? Also, is there anything else...

Looks great! I think this is what I may go with, I can't seem to find the 6004s in stock anywhere. How do you like the ride? What size tires are you running and any spacers? Any rub? Any other pics you have would be appreciated

I'm looking for some help with installing either a Daystar 2.5/1.5 or 885/895 & 5100 lift in my 07 V8 SE. I'm located in Northern Virginia but willing to drive an hour to two. I have a little bit of experience with cars, mostly oil changes, break jobs, the easy stuff. I've never done a lift...

Good Idea I will have to try that.

It was replaced before I bought it 1.5 years ago. Any recommendations for batterys?

Is this normal? It's mostly for when I leave my rear hatch open when the car is off keys out of ignition. Sometimes it will happen if its left open for only 2 minutes. I've had it happen with doors too. Thing is the electricals turn on, but the car won't turn over unless it's jumped. I'm...

Is there a way to verify the correct Denso part number for these codes? I have been researching for days and I can't seem to find a straight answer. I ordered Denso 234-9051, 234-4261, and an o2 socket off amazon. I am now having my doubts about the correct part number.

Dash cluster did a fun light show. Have a long drive ahead of me this tomorrow so brought it to the stealership by work. The codes that hit were Air Fuel Ratio Sensor and o2 Sensor. They quoted me at about $1200 which was comical. Found what I believe to be each part on amazon from Denso for...

07 V8 Sport, 130k. 95% of my driving is highway/city, but I still need the ability to hit farm trails and deep snow. Plans is to continue to DD this for the next few years until I transition into a car, and use the T4R for utility/towing, trails, and winter. I'm thinking I want to do OME...
