love the stealie 🤘⚡

have the P/Ns for the filters and inserts? I want to make sure I'm grabbing the right (best?) ones. I could stand to do an intake filter, cabin filter, and have some spare wipers on hand. edit: never mind found everything in that big part number thread: GX460 OEM Part Numbers -...

As long as it's not disabling any codes from the safety or smog system sensors (cat efficiency, O2 sensor, etc.) you should be fine in MA. I "know people" who ran cars with basic tunes for a while without any issues. I have a separate question - does Lexus have a way of determining if the ECU...

Interesting. I don't particularly notice the extra road noise with the AT4W and I was coming from Michelin Latitudes the dealer put on the truck right before I bought it. I can hear some at certain speeds, but don't find it to be too high for my tastes. Though I listen to music at a decent...

add to cart...

that's unadjusted, though? meaning, if you have larger tires your MPG is actually better than that?

I did try to remove from the top with one of them when I was initially, incorrectly fighting with the welded nut. I could only fit a straight wrench in there as there isn't a ton of room (see the zoomed-out pic I posted of the space). Whenever I get back to it again, I'll likely try removing...

to clarify, I have a Ryobi battery powered reciprocating saw. I am leaning towards giving it a shot this weekend. I think a muffler shop would end up cutting it, anyway. The threads on both bolts look pretty nasty.

it's mainly if i ever decide to "return to stock" and want to trade it in. but, thinking about it, i doubt they would blink at or see the re-welded flange or see that it's now nuts and bolts instead of the welded nut and bolts. would you cut before (muffler side) or after (axle pipe side) of...

heh I feel a little bit better knowing this, so thank you. i only looked at the instructions / setup online before attempting and of course my thought was "two flanges and a couple of hangers? this should be pretty quick, even for me" (I don't do a ton of my own wrenching). I even went and...

I was hoping to keep the OEM exhaust intact, just in case. Odds are it will sit in a box for years, though. Looking closer at the service manual, it does only call out "bolts" for the tailpipe assembly instructions where some other connections call out "nuts," but I think the nuts are related...

The spring bolt from the header y-pipe collector was like that, where the nut is welded on, but it looked more like a square nut than a hex. This one the head of the bolt is on the top side of the flange, so there isn't really a ton of space to get tools up there. Granted i might just not have...

I tried to install my Magnaflow exhaust today and ran into a snag. This picture is of the flange that connects the over-axle pipe to the resonator (or mid body muffler). I think I was the one that rounded the nut, but as I took a closer look as it started to round more (even with a straight...

I mean, aren't there plenty of Wranglers that never touch dirt, either?

Cross posting, I finally posted a picture of my wheel/tire setup: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gx460-prado150-pic-thread.929092/page-154#post-15956725 Felt a weird shift in 4LO (info in same post) but MeefZah responded it was normal.
