    Ultra Racing 4-Point Rear Lower Bar

    Yes and the money spending is continuing. I’m upgrading my brakes after I roasted them trailering a uhaul cross country. I’m going to install these bad boys.

    Ultra Racing 4-Point Rear Lower Bar

    Yeah I guess I will pass and focus on under body armor. Thanks for everyone's input.

    Ultra Racing 4-Point Rear Lower Bar

    Wow - somehow posted before I was able to finish thought. What I was trying to say is if there would actually be a perceivable difference with the frame kit. Sounds like the kits are both Band-Aids.

    Ultra Racing 4-Point Rear Lower Bar

    Just having moved to the flatlands of Southwest Florida, there are no great natural offroad areas other then manmade parks. Actually the two kits serve different purposes. The ARB is to protect the soft bits underneath - I scraped a few last time at the park. The frame brace is more of onroad...

    Replacing LCAs. What else?

    I did exactly the same with the gussets - great upgrade if replacing the LCA and if you can weld. If you try to weld with the LCA on you will fry the bushings.

    Ultra Racing 4-Point Rear Lower Bar

    Does anyone have experience with this kit I found on Ebay? It's supposed to stiffen the frame by tying both sides of the frame in the center of the truck at various points. Sort of like the front shock tower brace. I like the idea and it's not too expensive but I also want to get the ARB under...

    Intake Coolant Leak - Shop Recommendations in DFW

    Ok, Pat I would like to solve the puzzle......... I also would like to give a shoutout to TLS Auto in Euless, TX. They did a fantastic job for a reasonable price. I also did the waterpump, tensioner, belt, etc. while "in there". Super professional and has all the specialty tools for Toyota...

    Intake Coolant Leak - Shop Recommendations in DFW

    Well my coolant loss looks to be pointing to the infamous intake as the culprit. Anyone in the DFW area have any suggestions as to a good shop to use? I've called a couple of shops in the Grapevine area that estimated $2k for the repair plus the waterpump, thermostat, tensioner, belt, etc...

    Cam tab gussets, this is bad, yeah?

    Wow - this is great - thanks for posting. I am about to swap out my LCAs and this would be a great time to add this kit. Quick question - does this kit interfere with the KDSS hardware?

    stainless steel brake lines

    I only know what I read on this forum so others with more knowledge may want to chime in. But my understanding is that Techstream pulses the ABS actuator to bleed it as well. So you may still have air in the system. I would also like to hear what other's experience with switching to SS lines...

    stainless steel brake lines

    Timely question, I am thinking about upgrading as well but if it doesn't improve brake feel may not be worth it for me. Did you change all the lines? I think there are two over the axle besides the 2 rear caliper lines. Did you have the brakes bled with Techstream or something comparable?

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    Nope no smells, although I still need to pull skid plate from under engine to take a peek.

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    This makes sense but wouldn't I see a steady decrease in coolant in the expansion tank? That's what is weird to me in that 1 week passed after the first topping of coolant there was a complete loss from the expansion tank and now 4 days since last topping - no perceptible drop in level. I think...

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    Looks clean, no residue. I assume the coolant would leave some sort of pink residue. Although I did not remove the stock skid plate to see what it looks like on the inside. Next on my list.

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    Hey Folks - I have a very strange coolant loss situation. First off this truck is new to me - about 1.5 months ownership it's a 2012 with 109k miles. I have records from two Lex dealers since new. Only coolant related work was a radiator swap in 2019. No record of replacing the water pump...

    Transmission flush needed?

    I went to a Toyota dealer near me and they did the flush for about $350. It is a sealed system and they never dropped the pan since there is no 'real" filter media except a screen. They used about 12 quarts of WSATF Puresyn ATF. They said that they used more than required to do the flush which...

    Illinois Questions from a Texan

    Wait till JB becomes governor - the dems are already working on ratcheting up the income tax on the “rich” and when they run out of the richman’s money they will be coming for the rest. By the way I think rich is supposed to mean 250k and up. All in the name of fair share-ness.

    Illinois Questions from a Texan

    To the OP -I think I was too negative in my post. Who am I to say you will regret your decision, only you will know. I will say that you should try to spend time in Chicago doing daily things you would do if you lived here. If you have the time that is. Unfortunately you missed the winter when...

    Illinois Questions from a Texan

    I’m another one moving from Chicago to Dallas. Spent most of my life here and I’m done. Got a great opportunity and I am gone. No more rust repairs, taxes and freaking cold. I will take 100f in summer over -20 in winter. I live in Park Ridge and they kept tweeking the multiplier rate every year...
