That's a good tip, I'll have to check that. Once in a while I notice a little residue on the overflow.

2011 LX 172k miles. No issues but do have the updated radiator. Losing coolant slowly - run the overflow tank from full to empty roughly every oil change (7,500 miles). Because it's so slow and no other visible leaks haven't bothered to dig further yet.

Late to the party but I'm also in CO and just run 5w-30 year round. Frequently in the mountains to ski all winter as well and no issues at all. Once in a while when we get one of those -20F wind chill storm week she might take slightly longer to start but no issues otherwise. Sounds fine and...

Yeah that will have a good bit of poke and rub a lot. I'd try not to go lower than +25 offset

Same. Wanting to ditch the E load as soon as this set wears a little more. Even going from E to D can make a notable difference--speaking from personal experience.

Not on that exact setup but I think I can give some insight. I'm on the 4th perch and currently E load 35s, but have used SL for a short stent once. It will be stiffer than stock, but especially with SL tires I wouldn't call the ride stiff. Supportive but compliant is what I'd call it. Great on...

Could be a combination of things. I would check wheel balance, confirm spacers are torqued and installed appropriately, and check for warped rotors.

Haven't seen any other solution quite so tidy. Hadn't seen the gamiviti ones either. I think your post just sold me on getting some haha

I was able to get mine aligned on the 4th clip but caster was lower and out of spec. Drove it this way for several months with no adverse tire wear, but didn't like the very light on center/wandery feeling at highway speeds on long road trips. Got aftermarket UCAs for more caster and she tracks...

Here’s a picture I found online

It’s been a couple years so I can’t remember exactly. But was the hole of two of the washers smaller than the others? Those should be the top and bottom most washers. Have you installed both sides already? Possible the hardware was mixed between the two? Not trying to be insulting. If you did...

The long sleeve that you have on top of the shock mount should go onto the shock shaft first, underneath the mount point. When it's all tightened up and oriented properly it doesn't come anywhere close to the body. They should have provided a small paper graphic in the box. Or at least mine came...

Are those mileage figures accounting for actual distance traveled and amount refilled? Or just the computer read out? My last tank I went 268 miles (accounting for diameter difference) and yielded 16.2mpg mostly hwy miles. Dash readout was 15.7 or 15.8 iirc. Since I've got bigger tires I'd...

No picture to share, but I've always had great success with the floor jack and ratchet strap method to pop a bead. And lots of soapy water of course.

I like the idea of the retro toyota colors but yeah a lot going on
