My first guess would be that an overheated shock absorber blew a seal.

You may be on to something... I have a photo of a woman wearing a thong in that same color. And it does indeed look awesome.

I have a set of these USR lights. Unfortunately, I had to put my OEM lights back on, because the passenger side brake light failed after about 18 months.

You've done two things here that I like: 1. You took matters into your own hands and created a solution. 2. You're sharing your work with others. Good on you. BTW- I concur with your recommendation to use a PETG filament. Definitely more dimensionally and UV stable than most other readily...

You probably can get away with using a jigsaw, but it's not ideal. The problem is the area where you'll be making the hole is a compound curve and you won't be able to get the jigsaw to lay flat along the surface. So for most of the cut you'll have an air gap between the bottom of the jigsaw...

Agreed.

If there was anything to be gained from removing the cover of the S&B Intake... they'd be selling an overpriced "Upgrade Kit" that consisted of nothing but cheap tools for prying it off.

I'm not a spokesperson for AAA, but I'm pretty sure that they sell themselves as a "Roadside Assistance" service. Not an "Offroad Assistance" service. But maybe you don't plan on doing any offroading...

The typical hourly shop rate in California is around $100 per hour. Yes, it could (and probably will) take as little as 20 minutes, however it would take longer to do the job properly. Personally not a fan of spacers, but you didn't ask.

Nothing shrugs off the effects of high altitude like forced induction. I passed on a job opportunity in Colorado partly because I knew that I wouldn't enjoy driving at such high altitudes. Though I admit my decision may have been overly influenced by the existential-crises my rental car...

When people ask me what bands I like... I tell them "I don't like bands, I like songs". In other words, I have no problem separating a company from it's products. GOBI makes a nice rack. Though their customer service, manufacturing pipeline and overly-litigious abuse of patents are all...

$26.5K feels too high. Unfortunately, used car prices are both inflated and volatile at the moment due to supply problems on the new vehicle side. Like Salvo said, unless you absolutely need to buy a ride right now, I'd wait. And even if you do need something promptly, $26K could be better spent.

I ordered a set of Baja Designs Squadron lights (SKU 447115) from Amazon about 2 years ago. They arrived safe and sound, and were completely legit. Install was easy, and the lighting performance was better than I hoped for. I've readily employed their services to navigate through heavy fog, ag...

Eh...Nope! It helps to think of a vehicle's power train as a plumbing system. If you want to increase the flow, you have to find and eliminate the bottlenecks. The bottleneck in the 4Runner's 1GR-FE engine isn't in the intake tract. Nor, on the exhaust side, if you're wondering. The heads...

So let me get this straight, you have the time to sift through and categorize every single post to arrive at the grand conclusion that "90+% of the posts on this forum are regarding cosmetic stuff and aftermarket add-ons." However, you don't have the time to "...play with that dealer software."...
