Hard to tell from the pics - will the factory 16" LX / LC wheels fit over these stoptech brakes? Looks like a.... no

Most of the nightmares I’ve heard come from people who’ve never owned one! I had an 07 v10 and it was awesome. Maintenance is different than a 100 but you can drop the whole motor/transmission/subframe together in about 3 hours.

Dreaming of a V10 TDI + 8HP swap in the 100 series now...

Crushed this job on the side of I-15 near SLC. Truck died in 100F heat. Was lucky to have been carrying a spare 950-0210 with me. I can confirm the importance of the o-ring :)

I ran P0420/P0430 codes for 5 years/50miles. Decided to clean my cats this year in the oxalic/citric acid bath method. Replaced 4x o2 sensors and all gaskets. No more codes, techstream values show healthy (ish) cats. $200 for the clean instead...

You'll want a different tow rig for that much weight. A properly distributed load means 10-15% of the total weight will be tongue weight. that's 785lbs - 1175lbs. Don't know that I'd push the factory 650lbs hitch that far. Keep in mind, tongue...

Looks like 8HP conversions are getting a lot of traction. I'm keeping my eyes out for a late model 8HP from a x3/x4m: https://www.domi-works.com/products/toyota-1uz-2uz-3uz-8hp-70-75-n63-adapter-kit...
