Set of 5 OEM aluminum wheels off of my 2 owner, 2000, 100 Series TLC. Spare wheel is a little crusty, but has on it mounted an unused Dunlop GrandTrek. On the other 4 are lightly used Michelin LTX M/S tires. Most have good tread. See pics. Tire that was PF has uneven wear on the outside. Also...
While trouble shooting no signal at the trailer lights connector, I was directed to check fuses at the towing hitch relay. It is supposed to live behind the DS tail light, or behind the rear panel.
I went to searching and found a few things I’d like to know what they are.
First, is this the...
That could be a different rattle/drone/vibration.
My catalytic converter heat shield rattles audibly when accelerating after start up. Tightening with hose clamps kind of helps, but I'm still intermittently working on making that go away. The drone/vibration I'm feeling is not audible, but...

They fit just fine with 1/4 spacers from Bora. Took about 4 weeks to get them.
Don’t forget to get the TRD splined lugs too.
No idea of the offset, but they fit fine with 285/70s. .25” minimum spacer required on the front only, but flat RW caps won’t fit. Domed TRD caps will. I believe 1” spacer is min. required to allow the flat RW caps to fit on the front.
UPDATE: just read in another post RW wheels have a 50mm offset.
Obligatory running board delete. Hole patching on rear cross members. Coat of rust oleum on the frame. New gas tank and fuel lines and got the RW Wheels mounted. Also, a little vinyl on the faded trim! Trim and wheels is all I did. Left the rest to the professionals.
No detriment to squeezing 1.5" out of the torsion bars? I assumed that much may cause CV boots to leak of put the wheel too close to the lower bump stop, but this is why I'm asking.
Thanks
Baselining my Car Pool Cruiser currently. Frame cleaning, fuel line/gas tank replacement, etc... Will be used for trips to work, car pool and beer runs. Occasional beach driving, light off-roading and towing a 19' boat. I'm inclined to go with stock rear shocks, air bags, to keep from...
Reading through here, consensus seems to be 865s with stock shocks ride great with no or moderate loads. Laden with a trailer and /or armor they compress too much to be comfortable. Headlights at the sky…
Seems like 860s provided a good blend both loaded and not for jLB. Was that with factory...
X2 for Crutchfield. Their customer service is nearly wizardry. Explicit, vehicle specific instructions with great person to person tech support hours. (times you can call and talk to someone who knows wtf is going on) Prices seem to be as competitive as anyone else on the internet, and it...
I only read pages 1 and 10, but didn’t see anyone mention the size of the 4R, which is too small IMO.
Coming out of a Taco into a LC, I reallly appreciate the shoulder room between my wife and I sitting up front. We were too close in the Taco, amd would be in the 4R too.
All that TRD Pro sh*t...
