Ordered a replacement ECU. Hope that works. Stealership doesn't seem like a valid option if something needs to be done with the keys. Tried the backup key - didn't work either but only have one keyfob.

That must be a dealership thing then. $$$??? Just got new keys for it a year ago.

No CEL at all ever. Not in any key position.

I have a 2008 Limited 4x4, V6. Got soaked inside. Standing water in the floorboards. Ran fine for a day or so. Then overnight the water intrusion stopped it from starting. No start and no check engine light. Water soaked the wiring harness along the doors and may have got to connectors and or...

P0420 bank 1 but even when trying reset lights to get ABS/TRACK and the Christmas tree dash off, nothing works. Want a clean computer before I start repairs. Tried battery disconnect x 3 hrs, tried zero point calibration, tried other youtube tricks but need some new hocus pocus / secret...

I installed the Dobinson LT shocks last night with Durobumps on Superflex HDs. Took out some jimmyrigged Procomps for a Tacoma that gave me the travel. Lost 1/4 to 1/2" it appears that the new shocks are not soaking up but its not settled yet. Had 3.6" lift with the HDs. Seems ride is nice but...

___________________________________________ Did this last night as a temp fix with Superflex HD's that had broke off Bilsteins on over extension. Quick and inexpensive - and given their structure - not sure how long they'll last but the ride with the HD coils is actually pretty sweet. Of...

So as an update, I've been running the HDs for 2 years now. Always thought it was a little harsh compared to the xreas I ripped out. But I'm at the tipping point now because I snapped off my Bilstein extended shock. What Toytec told me was that they are only good for 2.5" of lift and I was...

For the older forerunners, mine is a 2009, its challenging to wade through the posts about 02 sensor readings, bad catalytic converters, outrageous dealership replacement costs, misguidance on the fixes and make any sense of a path to diagnose and fix the system. I'm trying to get smogged and...

They are the Metal Tech supplied Overland valved Radflo 2.5" tubed coil overs - and I asked and received for a little more $ the 700 lb Eibach springs instead of the standard 650# version. I think with the 650s it would be more forgiving... The mud spike or bull prick looks like a 4 to 5 foot...

Now that my new suspension has been put through the rigors I thought I'd give you some perspective around my choices and the results of the install - maybe it will help someone. So first off - I've got a 2009 Forerunner limited with a V6. I had put in a Demello front bumper, warn 9ti winch...

Just back from a week in Wyoming. Hunted with a crew of 4 with the new suspension and these tires. Computer estimate put mileage at 18.7-20.4 on the way there typically. I carried a load and my onboard recovery gear but the truck was clean. (wench, bumper, tools, straps, sblocks, etc) plus...

Okay - I've done the first phase of my upgrade. It was made painful in part due to a Taiwanese made 19MM wrench that was more like 19.5 mm. Rounded off my ball joint castle nut on the first go around, so I had to sawsall and hacksaw out the OEM ball joint and then get it loose enough to get it...

It's time for that rebuild... 150k on her and lots of dents. Its been 7 years of a great truck with lots of adventure but its feelin it so I'll do mod level II and see how it comes together. It's a 2009 Limited 6. I've almost rolled it a handful of times and have winched it out of some pretty...

One more thing on the FJs, is there an on board compressor and wiring harness / switch for them that I'd have to pull? I want to turn my limited into a "trail" with extras. I'll have to search for writeups. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
