my next delete item. Because really, the 2003 ATF dipstick tube runs right next to the pipe running to that. It would look so much better without those tubes in the way. Goes hand in hand with heater tee delete.

1.25”/30mm is the standard push- check Slee’s website for options

Its hard to tell from the picture that the one side is more worn than the other- dragging pad could wear faster on one side- check slide pins or piston (for corrosion and not retracting fully). Fyi- Advance auto (carquest) has a premium pad...

Yes, yesterday. Have driven it a few hundred miles since I got it and no leaks of the sort until the last drive (Friday afternoon). It has no viscosity like oil, so the revelation of coolant under the seat makes the most sense so far. The loom...

So just yesterday this started? How long have you owned it? Does it feel like oil or more like coolant? If under seat heater was leaking, wouldnt carpet be wet? Check that wiring loom just ahead of the door sill (where it hasnt been sitting in...

Those pads are close to half life- still quite a few miles left - unless you’re itching to spend money- reevaluate In 6mo. That diff drain plug on the other hand…..

Didn't do any major trails this trip out west. Ouray Colorado and then got really lucky--at the end of one of our favorite trails around Colorado Springs which overlooks the Air Force Academy, the Thunderbirds started practicing for the...

Completed most of the demo over the past few weeks. Today I have tacked the rear radius arm bracket in place and started located the front axle. No build thread just posting photos of the progress.

9yrs Remarkable-

To operate fuel pump with key ON (engine not cranking) Remove C/OPN relay from fuse box sits next to battery. Short pins 3 & 5 (fuse box side) The 2 golden pins are pins 3 & 5.

I have a base model 2015 and my truck is the best riding offroadable 4wd I have ever driven. It rides better with LT Mud tires than a jeep does with passenger rated all seasons. 5100s definitely improved everything but the feel over concrete seams.

Confirmed in the morning that N/S is indeed installed on the driver side. That is a good news. Good eye @jLB. @abuck99 I have the same concern about the end of spring not being rotated all the way or closer. Not sure if it will make a difference...

I think my built 100 series with E rated mud terrains, 800lb constant load rear springs is more comfortable than our GX. Ive done plenty of 1,000 mile+ 15hr days in the 100. I think the GX is a fine vehicle overall but the interior seat trim, and...

Looks like a 4 Runner CV- That 3 ball type of CV is pretty weak, won't last long in a 100 series.

When considering which GX trim level to look for- Id stick with the Base version. We’ve got a 2016 Lux trim level with rear air suspension and have to say the air-bag ride is sub-par compared to simple coil suspension. I also think the seats in...

Driveline slack is not solved at one point-on a high KM/Miles truck its actually coming from many places on your truck both front and rear. Oftentimes the rear control arms (lowers) rubber bushes are worn and allow too much movement- which is a...

N/S printed on the spring = Left Side/ US Driver Side What seems odd to me is the rear left side and right side height variance. You stated measurements that reflect 1.250” difference between left and right rear- should be almost even to 1/4”...

I don't see Roadwire mentioned too much around here so decided to post a separate thread. For those that don't know about Roadwire, they've been around for decades and sell leather for hundreds of makes/model. If you've ever seen leather sold as...

No chance in hell I am getting under a set of plastic ramps No Not Never

Xpel used to have a great product- but no more- original product circa 2015-18) was was near 1 mm thick which rocks would bounce off of, the new stuff about .20- not worth the $. Weathertec has precut kits and quite thick, not a thick as...

Buy some PPF and install it over the headlights after you re-clear them. Guaranteed to keep them looking fresh for 5+ years.

2004 & 2005 FSM- Various ways to approach this job- non-vvt is pretty simple. Dozens of threads on the forum discuss- just followbthe FSM for your model year

Part # for the reman axles is 43430-60040-84 (-84 is the reman suffix).

It appears the AT-205 is working. Took a little while but I haven’t seen any drips and have taken it on some decently long drives. Fingers crossed!
