I was doing my valve covers last night and accidentally punctured my exhaust manifold when drilling/tapping out one of the valve cover bolts that snapped off.. Been a rough couple of days with all the valve cover issues and crazy exhaust leak being revealed when I thought I was finally done was...

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but just wanted to chime in and say that you don't need to do anything to put in an 27f. It fits the stock battery tray on a 4th gen without any modifications whatsoever. I see no reason why you'd want to put in a group 34, its smaller than both the 27f...

I finally went and picked mine up from the dealer yesterday. $110 + $75 core. Definitely looks OEM toyota, I bought a brand new 5th gen axle to do my other side about a month ago and they look the same. The sticker on the axle itself actually has the part # for the new axle and not reman'd so...

Old thread but as I'm doing my tidbit of research on getting a new battery, you should note that a higher group number does not always equal bigger battery. Look up the BCI group sizes and calculate the volume. Obviously there are different quality levels at each size but generally, this is what...

Im not opposed, but the shipping i think is going to be pretty expensive, i’d guess maybe $80-100 bucks. if you want to do it still let me know. i’d go down to 50 for the hitch if you are willing to pay for shipping.. just can’t give a real estimate of shipping cost

I just ordered one from a local dealer but am now having second thoughts as this logic definitely checks out. Anybody in this thread end up using one with good results? Definitely sounds like too good of a deal to be true... I paid only $103+tax+$75 core deposit. Called the dealer and they said...

05' V8 with 174,600

Sorry for the late response, I haven't been on here in awhile. I was in Reno but I flew so I wouldn't have been able to take it with me. I'm not too sure when I'll be up that way again

I may be in Reno as soon as the first weekend in March, but I'm not sure if I'll be flying or driving. Let me try to lock in some details on that. Do you plan on coming down south any time in the near future?

Sorry, just now seeing this. I am not 100% sure but I don't think it would fit a 5th gen.

Yes, its still available. It should work on any 4th gen.. i think it was a stock feature for v8s but was an additional cost for v6s.

To revive an old thread, I've been using this stuff about every 4-5 oil changes and get reliably 1-2 MPGs better on the highway, and the engine does run quieter and smoother as they advertise. The effects seem to go away pretty quickly after an oil change though, so I don't believe their claim...

I did mine a few years ago and it wasnt too bad... would have been much easier if I wasnt doing it in my shared apartment parking garage with a neighbor's car less than 3' away right next to me. Not an ideal situation by any means. If you offroad much at all Id definitely recommend getting OEM...

Just to follow up, I got everything installed with no issues. Love the way these are riding so far. Thanks for your install tips OP.

I'm halfway through installing the rear shocks and ran in to many of the same issues as you. you mentioned that the bottom mount is not centered on purpose-- does that mean you wont need to add the washer on the bottom to get it to not hit the axle hub when articulating? I have already torqued...
