It’s super easy. I’m mechanically inclined because I’ve worked electric/H/VAC since i was 11 with my dad. No experience on cars besides this forum and youtube. All you need is a socket set and I used a hex set with a socket driver. Only 3 bolts but idk how you’d do it without it. Access...

I'm definitely replacing the cap, given that it is so cheap, but I'm guessing there is more to my issue that just that because the pressure doesn't hold on the system. I was unable to check the cap, despite the kit supposedly being able to do so. They may have forgotten to give me that...

similar issue but I do not think it is the HG I have a similar issue. Rad overflow tank is constantly empty, no matter what. I have zero indicators of leaking anywhere, skid plate, hoses, etc. It seems like everyone is quick to jump to head gasket issues, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

with the CSF radiator upgrade is the hayden trans cooler necessary? 04 limited v6 4x4 I just started towing a 19' (unsure of weight as of now) RV dual axle trailer. I want to add additional protection before I have any problems - not the other way around. I live in New Mexico, summers road...

I honestly don’t even know what you're referring to-so no. There are some on YouTube that help- but I used the Hayes manual and it was simple. If you’re handy at all then it’s easy. It was the first time that I actually wrote down every single thing I did step by step- bolt for bolt- and...

Super stoked on this forum. It definitely helped me and saved a ton. '04 limited v6 4x4 177k heavy idle, check engine, cyl #3 misfire. checked compression also- about 125 PSI everywhere. The highest within the correct % of the lowest. Replaced plugs. nada. new (no refurb) ignition coil on...

Too much oil Hey all! I recently read several forums about putting too much oil in the car. Most people agreed that there wouldn't be much of an issue. While a few also claimed "My manual calls for 5.5 and I've been putting in 6 for years." Long story short, I put in 6 quarts when it calls...

Woohoo! It sounds like everyone was torn 50/50 on this one! I'm glad you got hooked up- despite what they did - it sounds like a solid shop. (not upselling, eating the peripheral costs, no arguments or blame, fixed and done)

Negative reviews? No way! I don't know what's up with people bashing on PFRAN, but that wasn't the case for me. It sounded like a few people were just being impatient. Don't worry children, your presents will be left under the tree! (poking fun- relax) I ordered them the Friday before...

Thanks for the help Thanks for the info guys! I love the DIY stuff, but I also love when avoiding the DIY is the better route. My guy only charges like $20 more than the can of 134 costs- no biggie there.

1300$ for new calipers?! Blah! 1300$ for new front calipers sounds belligerent. I just got new front rotors, calipers, and pads, as well as rear pads and rotors for $500 - no coupon, homie hook-up, or DIY's there...

4th Gen Runner with Gobi Ladder and Full Prinsu rack Hey guys! 2004 Limited (spoiler without bump) I purchased this rack a few months ago and love it. As far as clearance with the Gobi ladder and the Prinsu- there is no problem. The spoiler comes within 1/4" of the front-back side rails of...

Harsh That is super harsh, but I'd have to agree with most. If you care about your car, do not take it to a car wash. At best use the pull-in bay style where you get out and manually spray the hose to get off dirt//mud. I have a GObi ladder in the rear, and could easily see how spinning...

WT's all day. Thanks for the info guys! I was kind-of on the fence, both sides had really good points. Ultimately, I went with the in-channel design. Someone had a great point about dirt, and grime, and UV degradation over time for the stick ons- which put the nail in the coffin for me...

Rear Ladder (GoBI) That is the GoBi ladder. It was like $200 shipped. and absolutely no problems with clearance with any of the accessories. That Prinsu Design rack comes within 2 millimeters of the spoiler, but you can't make it touch, even when pushing the tailgate up beyond what the...
