Are you 100% sure it was coolant and not ATF or power steering fluid? My coolant is yellow, transmission and power steering fluid are red. If you’re using Toyota (red) coolant you would be hard pressed to tell the difference in the snow between the three just by looking at them on the ground.

HA!! I did not know this. Thank you. I want the unequal length springs. I do not need to figure out spacers and everything else. My brain is to full as it is.

Higher rpm’s at speed do not cause MPG loss (it does, but not in the way you were thinking), its the engine working harder to push through the air. The faster you go, the more wind resistance, the harder the engine needs to work. There are sooooo many things that affect mpg, tire tread pattern...

So it looks like OME 2863/2864/2865 and 2866 would be the ones I want. Looks like 2866 has a variable spring rate from 240lbs to 300lbs But still only 18.31” in length, which keeps me close to stock height.

This is what I carry in my truck every day. Couple hundred pounds of tools, fluids and gear.

Thank you for that. I just want my truck to sit level and I figured if the rears were worn then so are the fronts.

Thank you. Do you happen to know the numbers for the front springs too?

My truck leans to the left. The lean is worse when I have all of my gear in it.

It is time for new springs on my 2004 100 series. I do not want a lift, although I know new springs will give me one. ARB website does not give me part numbers, only descriptions and a dealer locator. I will do all four. My searches are coming up with different part numbers for the same...

It’s coming from the center of the front end, so front diff bushing sounds like the most plausible. Prop shafts were just greased with a PM 1,000 miles ago. All other work was just done last week.

2004 Land Cruiser. 246k. I recently had the lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends and upper control arms, all sway bar bushings and sway bar end links replaced as well as a alignment. All four shocks, calipers, rotors, wheel bearings. Now the steering is really tight and there is a thunk in...

In order to replace the rear a/c lines you have to remove the exhaust. I’d let a shop do it and I’d replace both lines.

I would use full synthetic 85w-140 in both diff’s and transfer case. I’m a fan of Castrol, but you can use whatever you want.

Not at the moment. They are hard to find. Once you find them you still can’t see them. What you need to do is look where the two half’s come together at the very bottom of the rocker. Then look for the rectangular opening. There are 4 or 6, I do not remember. They are the size of a zip tie, so...

You can throw a couple relays into your glove box and if they start acting up you replace them. Most relays will start working again if you tap on them, then you buy a new one at the auto parts store and carry on.
