Last year I purchased WS fluid for $9.50 per quart. I went back to the dealership yesterday and the price is now $20 with no room to budge. Has the formula changed? I don't understand how the price has gotten to the point where I'd rather just buy Amsoil if I'm paying that much money.

Hey Guys, I was cleaning out my garage and have a pulley holder tool that I used to completed my 3rd Gen 4Runner timing belt. It's in great condition and I have all the pieces. Willing to give it to anyone for free but will not ship. I live in Northern Virginia.

Selling my rear coils due to installing a Victory Rear bumper and needed to swap over to the 327s. Springs have about 25k miles and were covered in fluid film to protect from rust and are in amazing condition. Pictures will be uploaded this evening.

I wouldn’t do the filter if you are doing regular drain and refills. I do mine every 15k and my transmission shifts amazing and the fluid is always nice and red when draining. I have 59k on it now and my trans temps are always around 130 in the winter and 167 in the summer.

SR5 if you know how to wrench and can do your own work, I put a 2 inch Dobinson’s lift and ARB summit bumper on and stayed in the 38k range with all those goodies. Plan is to put ARB rear locker soon and do the install myself. If you want the rear locker from factory grab a trail or pro, in my...
