Found a 1999 SR5 with a manual and 180,xxx on the odometer. Rig has clean paint and looks fairly rust free under the frame. It does have Pennsylvania registration stickers so it's seen some salt. Says timing belt and water pump were replaced in Nov 14 but not mileage. New tires 2017 New...

If I'm running 20's on the street, I would probably keep the stock 17's with a real M/T. I've thought about it and it's definitely the smart thing to do. Only problem is I don't plan on lifting yet. Just trying to see if there was another option out there. As far as brakes, I'd get an upgraded...

Thanks for your support:thumb3: Of course I could run out and buy a performance street tire. That's easy. I'm asking the knowledgeable individuals that drive in the mud, rain, and snow all the time what they would recommend.

It's the URD MK3 Stage 2. I was was running the TRD Stage 2 and my ****ty 6speed manual couldn't handle it. The X-Runner guys are swapping the 5 speed autos in so they CAN handle it. Much, much stronger. Plus theres always a valvebody upgrade from IPT. I'm well aware of what I'm asking. A...

Hello, Thinking about purchasing an 09 Sport V6 4wd and throwing the URD stage 2 on it. Since it would be pushing almost 400whp, what would a good performance A/T be? I'm stationed in Germany so the roads are almost always wet, the winters are little snow to lots of packed ice with snow on...

Nobody???

I'm contemplating buying an 09 sport with no factory NAV or BT. This is exactly what I was looking for. One question, will this work with an AVIC X930/40 BT?

Besides being cheaper the the MK3 why did you choose the TRD over the URD?

I used my scan gauge everyday. Not only does it scan and clear codes, I had mine set up for instant mpg, distance to empty, gallons used (have to run your tank dry) and intake air temps. I lived in Florida. If you're running bigger tires you can readjust your speed, accurate engine rpms, and a...

I used their first gen o2 sim that was cut and splice on my 330rwhp X-Runner when I was running longtubes and no cats at all. The new one is plug and play so easy install and removal. Call the 800 and press 2 for Gadget (Steve) He's the man and will not hang up until you're completely satisfied...

Newb lifting question here. First off, never lifted a vehicle, coming from both a lowered X-Runner and 1st gen xB. So forgive the newbness, but at least I'm keeping it in the family. From what I've been able to learn on my own through the all valuable search function, the Toytec is just a...

That's what I was thinking. If it was the rear cats you could just reset it and not worry about it. Check out URDUSA.com they have an o2 sim for cheap and make fantastic products.

Is it the front or rear cats?

How is that the 1gr-fe in the 4runners are blowing head gaskets but the 1gr-fe in the X-runners are fine even up to 350-400whp? As someone that had a 332whp/350wtq xrunner and is about to purchase a stock 09 sport 4wd i would really like to know before I drop $28k.

That's what I'm wondering. The only guys that had problems were the ones running turbos. All the MK3 and TRD never had these problems. Same screen name over there btw.
