Still zero issues yet so I'm beginning to no longer be as worried with my miles.
I'm close to ordering a prinsu and RTT
Why would there be issues? It's a Toyota. not a Ford.

Why shitty? My duralast has held up better than any of them, and it has a lifetime warranty.Replaced my CV with a shitty AutoZone one so I can at least drive the truck. Calling CVJ today to get a good one on the way.

Side note, if you strengthen that cv much more your weak link becomes the center clamshell.... I'd rather buy a $60 cv over an $600++ clamshell any day!

I was thinking rcv, my bad. For a lifetime warranty, I'll run the duralast into the ground. I'm harder than most and haven't broke one yet...On a stock car I would have no problem using them. I have just seen a lot of people who are lifted/wheel brake them pretty frequently. CVJ is also just a remanufactured CV, but with all OEM like components. It's still the weak link, but not as weak I guess. I would get OEM Toyota, but they are $350 vs $150 for a CVJ.
I am definitely not going full aftermarket/stronger. I 100% agree I want the CV as the weak link, not the diff or transfer case.
Adding some CBI ditch brackets soon with hyperspots on them but I realized I don't have any place to put the switch. I have some sheets of ABS plastic laying around and I was thinking about making a switch panel that will fit where the useless cubby under the HVAC controls will go. Has anyone made a switch panel for that area? I know I'll likely have to cut some stuff behind the cubby to make the switches fit. Anyone?
Replaced the rear wiper with an OEM replacement NAPA blade, so much nicer. Night and Day difference :thumb3:

Swapped to a color-keyed grille. I think it looks much better than the chrome it had

Did the 04's sport editions have the chrome grille from the factory? I didn't think they did. Previous owner must have added it.
No, the dealer put it on for bling factor along with the chrome rear garnish (which I don't mind the look of)Did the 04's sport editions have the chrome grille from the factory? I didn't think they did. Previous owner must have added it.
