I am getting others interest in a new toyota repair shop in norcal. Anyone who knows me will know but to others, I am a toyota tech and have been for the last 13 yrs. I came to the opinion recently that the area I live in needs a good toyota independant repair shop. I am hoping to get started...

I have a set of these on my 02 tundra and couldnt be happier. I got mine from discount tire. They are the 285's and I drive 70-80mph without any problem whatsoever. They dont feel sqirmy or unstable. I wouldnt hesitate to buy these again

I pieced together mine, but I used a procomp 4" front kit from a taco and lc springs and shocks in the rear. I did it all for less than $400 by finding good used stuff

You can get exhaust nuts from toyota. They are like you said sort of avalized and have a flange to prevent backing off

I would make a solid bet on valves being tight. With that compression, you may be able to adjust out of it and be ok. If not....its valve grind time

Will do. Everything so far has been pretty easy. Out of everything, the camburgs took the longest. (about 2.5 hours or so) Next will probably be the Banks exhaust catback. I will be selling my performance products catback if interested

What everyone needs to know is that anytime your check eng lite comes on, so does the vsc and trac. Nothing is wrong with those systems. The ecu disables those systems automatically when there is a code in the computer. No need to worry. When you get your code pulled, do or have someone do a...

Thank you kind sir! Hard work is always nice to be complimented on. There will be more to come!

Absolutly that sensor will affect that. It tells the ecu the coolant temp to lean or richen the fuel mixture. I have had several cars get towed in to the shop with complaints of died while driving. Hook a scan tool up to it and watch the values while its idling. It will be at normal temp then...

I would really consider it an upgrade considering I sold the 4runner for 9K and bought this truck for 9K. 5 years newer and about 20K fewer miles is quite a good deal IMO. I cant wait to get some more upgrades done

I wouldnt go any other way. Doing what I do makes me realize there isnt any other better truck out there

I know this isnt a 4runner, but alot of guys here knew my 3rd gen 4runner I sold and wanted to see the truck I replaced it with. Well here it is.... it's an 02 tundra TRD Limited. it was fairly stock when I bought it with the exception of the shell(which is now off), performance products...

Nope. Your thought process is good but your conclusion to the 125 code isnt right. The o2 sensor is what tells the ecu when the eng isd in closed loop fuel control. When that sensor fails and is stuck in closed loop, after you start your eng when its cold, it sets a code because the coolant temp...
