Oh yes I’ve always wanted an Ap2, those are awesome. I’d take any of that sweet sweet rev limit though!

Miata’s are fun, I’ve had a few, you definitely have to try one!

Hey Everyone, Fun question, what exactly would you buy if you couldn’t buy a Toyota or Lexus? Feel free to be as specific or generic as you want! For me, if it was a sports car it would be a C6 Z06 or an Acura MDX for large vehicle.

Perfect, easy answer to the question. Thank you everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, I know there is are lot of threads over the years where people have mentioned frame coating/rust issues but it is a bit spread out across multiple threads. I’d like to start a new thread specific to internal frame coating that has updated information. I’ve read mainly about...

Hey everyone, I’ve got an 08 V8, having no symptoms, but I’m looking to do some maintenance around the rig. Correct me if I am wrong, but the fuel filter is actually in the tank if I’m not mistaken? Does anyone here actually replace this piece with regular maintenance like other vehicles or...

Hello, I am in need of a fluid change, I am trying to decide if this looks like old red or old pink coolant. What do you think?

I’ll agree with the poster above, I’ve used a bunch of kits, you can expect 6 mo to a year for all of them. But my new favorite thing is using the Mag Aluminum polish. It is a one step process, works really good. I use a stiffer foam brush attached to a drill. There are various ways to keep...

I’ve had a 3rd gen and now a non modded 08 V8 4WD limited with 172k. Like others have said, check for rust.. it is the main thing that I hate about the 4Runner I love.. I really enjoy the v8, but I do have the exhaust manifold tick. Oh the AC is absurdly expensive to fix, I’ll give you a...

In the end I had to drill and tap. It was a slow process but I got the job done. Broke 2 cobalt Bosch bits doing it too!

Hey everyone, Having a fun time over here trying to figure out how to remove 3 broken frame bolts. The 12 mm heads broke right off.. I’ve used a speed out bolt extractor, channel locks, penetrating oil, nothing has helped. Would you try to cut a grove in the middle first and try the...

I just went through two AC repair jobs on my truck within 18 months. This most recent time, I was having intermittent problems with the blinking AC light and it ended up being that I needed a new Compressor. The first time, a shop installed a full AC kit made by Import Direct. Well that import...

Very interesting perspective! I also love my 08 4WD V8 limited, but my old 96 4WD SR5 had a special place in my heart. That is one of those things I really miss. I remember when we accidentally took a wrong turn in the mountains and ended up on a mountain pass for 2 hours, which turned into near...

Do you like one better than the other?
