Thank you very much!

Thanks for this post... saved me some time for sure!

I feel your pain. When i got my one owner 05 i noticed the parking brake not working but just figured it needed adjusting..... WRONG! I pulled the hubs and the entire parking brake assemblies were just gone! I suppose that whoever was working on it lost some blood and patience....decided it...

I made my "Dirfta" style box from flame Birch (embrace the wood :) ).. i used teflon strips for sliders (for maximum drawer width) and brass ball catches at the rear of the drawers to secure them in place while driving. https://woodworker.com/1-34-double-ball-catch-mssu-800-501.asp I found a...

Dont bounce/ hop it and you will be fine .... from my research on failures ... heavy throttle gets a wheel spinning, it hops off the ground... it comes back down and gets some traction with you still on the gas.... Bang pop clunk clunk. Air down tires , use low range and lock the center diff...

Well.... i would just drive it like that...take whatever money the insurance gives you and start saving for a new aftermarket rear bumper and a rear airbag delete kit with springs... eventually you will want to do this anyway so just consider this a jump start on that project. Nothing stays...

Welcome to the group! Thankfully i don't have to daily my truck but it seems from people who have posted up their accidents that's its pretty hard to get money back for anything you add on... or if they get totaled by insurance. These trucks are tough and it's usually just cosmetic damage...

I'm pretty sure Bud offers skids that will fit KDSS i recommend giving him a call to get setup exactly what you want.

Big fan of the Budbuilt Sliders and skids. Bud did a hybrid skidplate setup for me with Steel up front in the high impact areas and aluminum in the rear and gas tank to help save some weight and from the type and thickness of the alum. he uses i am not concerned with the strength of it one...

Not saying the rotors are not warped but sometimes its just a buildup of pad material on the rotors that causes people to think their rotors are warped. Look up some youtube videos on bedding in brake pads..... its basically a series of braking manuvers from different speeds with brake cooling...

it may just be pad deposits on the rotor a good cleaning and proper bedding in of the pads might be all it really needs..... tons of how to's online for bedding in brake pads .

my valve cover bolts were loose... it was because the gasket had shrunk from time as well as being hard as a rock. If you overtighten the bolts to gasket still wont seal where it has started leaking. Its pretty easy DIY to replace the valve cover gaskets.

i dont think the mileage is that low..... if a family has multiple vehicles and no long commutes i can see the miles staying low........and it for sure isnt worn out......if it was well maintained and the price is right i would buy it and be happy. for example i have a 2016 SS camaro that only...

my buddy just did this swap in reverse on his seqouia... you will want to use the intake and fuel injectors from the GX.

Been running shock protection for years on my motorbikes with high dollar racing shocks. One brand new unprotected Penske shock seals lasted one wet weekend ride on backroads before it let all the goodness ( oil , nitrogen) out. Sand /dirt/road grime are just like valve lapping compound on...
