11452-50190 is for the V8. It’s the same part # for the gx470. 11452-31030 is for the 4.0L 4runner and FJ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Try 11452-50190. Seems that’s the number the other 2uz-fe’s went to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now for Spring to get here so I can have some fun! The FJ’s aren’t the Methods I wanted, but neither was the price tag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Completely appreciate this. I was about 25 when I got really hands-on. Now sometimes my hands take a couple more hours to wake up than I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. I laugh when I pull wheels on my Scion because they feel like toys. The 4Runner is another story! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw where a guy used a 1st gen Tundra seat foam because he could get it for less than $70. I know it fit the seat frame but not sure how the seat cover turned out going back in it. [emoji2370] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awe, thanks friend! That sh!t hurt less when I was 41 and just started in this group. At 47, I grumble at the thought of even taking a wheel off! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lucked up and caught them at a liquidator warehouse and it was their last set. Just saw they have the Z36 pads for the front for $25 so I’ll be making a trip back. The boxes were a little banged up but the parts are spotless. I’ve been running the PowerStop rotors on the front for years with no...

I really don’t see them as a performance upgrade. I have a sport with the 338mm rotors and I just see these as a replacement calipers. That being said, I will go with the PowerStop z36 pads over the z23. I tow a lot. But I figure I’m on borrowed time with the original calipers before they seize...

In my true budgetary fashion, I picked these up new for $90 today. Granted, my calipers haven’t seized yet, but when they do… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then you’ll have to come on by. I can see the Wasatch and the Oquirrh Mtns from my yard. The pic is in Wyoming and that’s only 1.5 hrs away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I’m actually just outside Salt Lake City now. I make it back to TN every few months. Trying to convince mom to move out here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopefully for nothing more than pulling out shrubs with an equalizer strap, but you know how I love getting off the beaten path! Good to “see” you too! I got out of the travel trailer and bought a house so it’s sucked up all my time. Managed an escape last weekend though! Not another human soul...

It was finally NOT 100 degrees today and I remembered I had made a budget winter purchase! Front recovery points from BBG. I think I picked them up new and shipped on Amazon for $96 last winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine smelled like gas too. I pulled all my injectors, cleaned them, and replaced all grommets and o-rings. It’s toward the end of my page when I was also repairing other things. 2003 V8 budget build and dreams of theladyviola and Gypsy 2003 V8 budget build and dreams of theladyviola and Gypsy...
