03 Limited/Sport V8 157k

I see a bunch of these in my area, mainly used by hotels that have guest cabins spread across their properties, and by a couple handyman services in town that specialize in small jobs. I've also seen one on the designated ATV trails here because they are under the allowable width. Talked to...

^This^ No matter how many times this is stated, I feel the question "Will tire size (insert here) fit with/without lift" in some format will continue to be asked. Why? Because everyone wants the interwebz to help justify spending money on mods.

I put 255/75r17 tires on my 4runner for daily driving specifically because they were the biggest Duratrac I could find that was not a LT rated tire. I ran E-rated tires on trucks for years for the sidewall durability off road, but came to the realization that it is over kill until you get to...

JBA STD High Caster. 255/75r17 Duratracs on Level 8 MK6 17 X8 6-139.70 -10 offset, 3.2 Degrees caster. I'd have to look for exact measurement, but as you can imagine there is plenty of space with the pizza cutters. This reminds me that I need to call JBA and ask a few questions. I asked the...

Wanted to add two more tips for posterity... Heat the area around the bolt, not the bolt itself. Heat will cause the bolt to expand and make the metal slightly softer. I've had luck heating around stuck bolts, then icing the bolt while hitting it with PB Blaster and repeating a few times. An...

Start with checking your wheel speed sensors. The wires are easily damaged if you aren't careful with them. Just trace them looking for damage.

Bump for price drop. $1000 OBO. Come visit Jackson, everyone else is. I'll even put these on your rig when you get here. I can test more detailed photos if you PM me.

SOLD Used K&N CAI for pre '05 V8 for sale SOLD Was on my truck when I bought it and I swapped back to OEM. This one. Only catch is that there is a foam seal that comes with the kit that is stuck on my MAF. No idea if this seal is available, but you could probably make one yourself...

Took mine in to get in line on 4/5, got a call today (4/8). Mine is at the dealer three days after taking my 4runner in. Service manager told me that the dash they installed 2 weeks ago was ordered in September. Guess I got lucky.

Both are good vans. Try driving both and see what you like. The Sienna just edges out the Odyssey for power, ride, and handling, in fact it is way too easy to suddenly find you are speeding without realizing it in the Sienna. Odyssey = better mpg, a little softer of a ride and less precise...

This thread seems to be the collection for what will or will not fit in the OEM Spare location, so I will add my experience. Vehicle = '03 V8 tow package and TRD dual side exit exhaust. Tire = 255/75R17 Load C Duratrac on Level 8 wheel Hits the panhard, hitch, and/or exhaust at 10psi. I...

18"x9" BBS RW-T for 6 lug Toyotas with LT275/70R18 Duratracs mounted. Wheels are in good shape, only a few small scratches here and there in the clear coat. Center caps have a little bit of delam, nothing noticeable unless you get up close. Two of the Duratracs are in great shape with 13/32"...

Bought my '03 V8 with 886 front and 896 rear installed. As of now there is no extra weight front or back. The ride is a little stiff, but tolerable. Way better than an old school lifted leaf sprung truck. Compared to the XREAS I'd guess that the sway control will be comparable with the heavy...

New plugs. Changed engine oil. Lubed chassis (prop shafts took 12-14 pumps, hoping the stop-sign clunk goes away.) Both Diffs. (Had to use PB blaster, heat, hammered in allen wrench, and an air chisel to get the front plug out.) Replaced blown sub-woofer with a pioneer. Flushed PS steering...
