I probably owe this thread a post as I've gained a lot from T4R and this thread specifically. New setup on an 07 V8 Sport with 265/65/17 Falken Wildpeaks Bilstein 5100 Dobinson C59-505 Rear Coils (supposedly 1.25-1.5" lift) Dobinson C59-314 Front V8 Coils (supposedly 2.5" lift) My shop...

Who is everyone using? Have the Xtreme HID kits thru XenonDepot but having issues with last few pairs and may need to switch things up as they only last about a year on me.

Sorry for bump but anyone found a good source? My last XenonDepot set has taken a crap and after a few going bad sooner than I hoped I'm wanting to source elsewhere.

They fit, and look nice, sellers often list a proud price but will take lower if you bid less. $300 I paid for a set, but you couldn't pay me to run those Dunlops with them.

Suspension has been done, but I'm not quite the DIY type nor have space to do so, so I usually take things to the shop.

Curious what folks are seeing so far as cost of ownership after 150k miles? I know waterpump/timing belt coming towards 180k-200k. Recently have had a few things require replacing (wheelbearing, radiator) as well as routine services @ $150k. This has put repair bills over $3k in the past few...

Same thing here, cracked/shriveled grille -20 temps.

Confirmed front drivers side bearing, service being done Monday. Hope it's OK for a few hundred miles in the meanwhile?

V8 4runner Sport Edition > extreme temps managed to shrivel the smoked chrome grill and it did crack in one spot as well. Best course of action a replacement from dealer or does anyone else have any they can recommend? I see a lot of aftermarket sites selling them but I want something OEM/of...

Dare I ask? Also - safe to drive for a few days before Monday's service?

Nothing worse than a sound you can't diagnose... I'm hearing a drone/humming noise while coasting. I believe it's from the front end. Not really noticeable until you get over 20mph. Upon acceleration it's drowned out. It's a bit higher pitched than a tire drone. Goes away under 20mph. Last...

I don't have much for comparison sake, but my Interstate started up my 4R fine in negative 15 degree temps for a week straight.

I went with the Rigid for my C4 Hood Scoop, no issues whatsoever after a few years of use. I would caution you against going cheap, it took a few hours to get the light bar installed. I wouldn't envy the person that has to replace it and re-do the wiring if a cheap-o crapped out on me.

Run away

FWIW I don't love my Husky Liner that I have in the rear. Seems to be a pretty slick surface and stuff slides more than I like. It's not unmanageable, but I wouldn't buy it again.
