Hello everybody- speaking of the CV axle boot issue- I need to order new ones for mine as well- I’m looking at Rock Auto right now and I see a whole bunch of options that don’t have an ABS tone ring, and only one option that states it has a tone ring where required… do the 4th gens pull the ABS...

Man that thing is gangster as hell looking. Im not sure if you’ve got s gopro or not but you could to a timelapse of putting it together. That would be neat

Well the shocks I ordered (Bilstein 5100 3313146) from Realtruck saying they’re on national back order and Bilstein doesn’t know when they’ll be back in stock. So they’re refunding me, and it looks like Rockauto has some so I placed an order there. Fingers crossed I guess.

What bumper did you get? I’m trying to figure out what I want to do for a front bumper. The Bilstein B12 heavy load springs I ordered got delivered from Rockauto, now I just need to decide if I’m going to order some Amazon spring compressors or have someone put them in for me. They also...

Yeah I still can't believe how easy they make it. My oil filter arrived today so now I can change the oil whenever I get to it. Was gonna do it today but too sleepy.

Well I was back at it again tonight. Got the center diff changed and filled with 75w-90 full synthetic. Like I said yesterday, the valvoline bagged gear oil is the best thing ever. No pump needed. I had enough left over so I was able to switch the front diff to 75w-90 as well. Will see how...

Well my partner and I might have the omicrons from someone at her work (even though I have my first shot and she’s got both of hers) I basically slept all day yesterday and today was nothing but headache, hot flashes and feeling like I was going to vomit- I couldn’t think really took a sick day...

What load range are you using? I will be bumping up to the 285/70/17 just like you had but am hesitant to go up in load range because the tires get heavy fast and being that i drive 86 miles a day minimum, I don’t want to cut MPG down.

Thanks homie. You got on meaty tires too

Those of ya’ll that have the spidertrax 1.25” spacers and run them on the front have you had any issues with wheel bearings or ball joints? I’d like to get me a pair. I believe that the trd wheels will widen the stance by 1” total (half inch each side) but 1.25” is a lot more of a lever on the...

Moisture in headlights is one of the reasons I still have my OEM healights that are hazed over real bad. I’m either going to do the Chrisfix wetsanding and then rattlecan clearcoat to fix them, or buy new Toyota housings and then get real nutjob with aiming them. The’re somehow still deadnuts...

Prob gotta get a new sunroof assembly put in and seal, and maybe roof skin if thats going too. Its one of the reasons I personally dont like sunroofs but I understand that lots of people love them. After seeing his picture I went and checked mine

Happy new year everybody. Today I plasti-dipped the grill on my T4R. I have to say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It was a cold day today so the application of the plasti-dip was kinda rough, you have to lay it on thick and do a good number of coats. I used about 2/3 of a can to do the...

I picked up my T4R from the mechanic today. I had a Brake, ABS, TCL, VCS lights all on, a loud buzzer warning, and mega heavy brakes. They said it needed a new master cylinder assembly. I know components on the assembly can be replaced, however this mechanic didn't want to or was unwilling do...

Well after months of putting it off, I’ve ordered a new pair of the bilstein 5100 adjustable height front dampers for the struts to replace the decade old ones on there right now. With the fj coils in front, I’ll have them set to the 3rd notch up from bottom. I think that will set it to...
