Almost time to change tires, been riding on Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/65/18 going to 285/75/16, both factory wheels. Had BFH KO2's before, ride was a bit too harsh for me. Occasional dirt/gravel and some sand driving, mostly urban paved daily driver, so road noise and comfort is important...
Sometimes I feel the idling is slightly rough than before, any advice? Truck is up to date with all the belts and fluid replacements and drives fine, just when slowing down to a stop, nothing crazy and not all the time.
Has anyone tried BG fuel treatments? Going on a road trip soon, just...
My 2005 reached 200K about five months ago so I had the following items replaced, all OEM parts from Toyota that I personally picked up.
-timing belt
-drive/serpentine belt
-tensioners
-pulleys
-water pump
-radiator
-fan clutch
-fan bracket
-gaskets/seals/related hoses
-thermostat
-lube all...
My 100's engine started to squeal (short and not loud) few weeks ago, but usually only on the first crank in the morning when I start the car in garage, that's it. Rig received fairly major service three months ago-
replaced timing belt
-drive belt
-all related tensioners, pulleys
-fan...
There's been occasions (twice over four months period) where I heard a quick squeal (not loud) when I was backing out of the garage turning the steering wheel (not all the way though) I don't think it's time for a full power steering fluid flush yet, is it ok if I just siphon out what's in the...
Curious if anyone experienced if the rear AC is not as cool as the front even when set at the lowest temp (rear control)., just not as cold. Is there a separate freon that needs to be recharged?
I'll soon be changing from 18" to 16" and trying to decide 285/75/16 or something else. Came across this FJ80 and thought the proportion is just right. Pictured has 275/70/16, which is an odd size, it is not available for the Falken Wildpeak AT3W that I'm intending to get. This one looks like...
Does anyone know if any tire stores that would give you credit towards new set of tires if there's still some life/tread to your existing tires? I've dealt with Discount Tires over the years but it depends on if your existing tires carry a warranty. I currently have Nitto Ridge Grapper which...
Curious if anyone tried this type of steel wheels on roughcountry.com? They do come in 16 x 8 but not sure if it is 150mm and what offset works for 2005 100 series.

I was told there are two different pulley size ; 90mm and 100mm for the 100 series and VIN number does not indicate which size, can anyone confirm this? So it can't be determined until you get to it?
At this point maybe just skip the pulley and replace the timing belt/water pump and serpentine...
I tried to search this but couldn't find related posts so hopefully someone can provide some insight. There's quite a bit of difference in prices between Toyota dealerships OEM vs. Aisin plus Aisin gets lifetime warranty vs. Toyota has one year. Has anyone had any issues with Aisin? I'm also...
Looking for pre-owned 16" wheels in FL area for my 2005 100 series. I currently have 18" factory chrome (I platic dipped to black) that I can trade as well. The base chrome is close to like new condition.
I'm just curious what would be the most import parts to replace (other than the standard maintenance/wear stuff like the brake pads, plugs, and etc.) to ensure reliability so you don't get stranded middle of nowhere in an untimely fashion? I know we can all agree heater T hose is a top priority...
Trying to find out what the faint noise that sounds like stretching/flexing noise is when the truck turns or body rolls a bit, not sure if some area needs lubrication?
Replaced my bank 2 CAT yesterday, got the rig tuned up the week before with all fluids replaced, fuel injection cleaned, new spark plugs and thought everything is refreshed, the O2 error code came up after about 20 miles of driving. Bank 2 sensor 2 (downstream?), cleared them, it came up after...
