Congrats on your LX! Wheel width does not change ET (offset)... width does effect backspacing calcs.
RE 9"vs9.5"/+20vs+30... Honestly you will be fine with any of the above. I would concentrate on finding a wheel you like (weight, maybe hub-centric bore, maybe offset preference). The 9" is...
I looked up my old order from 2018 and it does appear they were E-rated. They were purchased through discount tire, but trying that part number gave a broken link.
Can't believe the tire went up 100% in price in 5 years!
I believe it is just the dome lights that cause issues.
If you want to experiment try this:
Use the “Door” button on the overhead console by the sun glasses holder. This will temporarily disable your dome lights. If this fixes it then you know the issue. I tried this and my symptoms...
Sadly, yes. I have not heard of anyone replacing a circuit board. I ended up going the Chinese-knockoff route, using a parts house out of CA so I could return if they didn't work. The lights have worked fine for over a year now, but the quality is definitely not OEM (weight significantly...
The 2-piece taillight assembly is a combination of bulbs and circuit boards. It depends on which part is out. If the entire thing is out, it is possibly not an issue with tail light but possibly upstream; plug, fuse or something else.
No. The non-nav dash doesn't have a DVD screen, so no button. I was making the assumption that a new DVD-enabled head unit would have outputs that could be hooked up to the existing rear screen wiring. You'd have to study the wiring diagrams to confirm. If the hinge is fully automatic (can't...
Yes, if you wire it up correctly. You also need a way to get the signal to that screen. Not terribly hard but I didn’t fully finish that part. Instead I installed a WiFi network, attached it to a hard drive w a bunch of movies on it and the kids use their phones, iPads or computes. The middle...
For me it was sound quality, (and partly because I wanted to prove it could be done). My current system sounds WAY better than the aging JBL it replaced. I also hated the dated interface of the OEM Nav unit.
Whether it makes sense to spend the money and time is a personal choice, but I...
PartSouqe was a great place, but they stopped carrying several of the main required items. You'll have to do some research to see what is currently available. I know others have had good (but SLOW) results with other middle-east sources. I'd take a look at some of those threads.
As I mentioned, my truck is having maintenance done, but I was pinged last night by the guy doing the work. He said he noticed that the fob did not work when the dome lights were on, but worked fine when off. This seems to jive with the anecdotal observation (another member made) that the fob...
Wow! I have experienced this issue for the last year. Changed battery 4 or 5 times. Speculated if it had to do with keeping the fob too close to the vehicle. Keeping the vehicle locked or unlocked, etc. Interestingly, the problem started immediately after I installed my full set of...
As far as our MPG Calcs, going from a stock 285/60r18 to a 305/65/18 (just shy of 34"), is only a 6.7% increase in circumference. This means when looking at the MPG Computer, we are only seeing a 1mpg delta at 15mpg in the computer's calc. 19mpg is about 1.2 off and 10mpg is only .67 MPG off...
I don't have a build thread, but here are a few pics to show lift height and wheel offset. This is with the King shocks with zero preload (so the strut ring is all the way at the top; least amount of lift). This was before the Tundra IFS and no wheel spacers in this shot, so without the...
You don't "need" a lift or bumper and they will work with stock rims. I'm not certain you need wheel spacers, but the consensus seems to suggest you do. You could have spacers on hand, test fit your tires and see if you want to use them. The only reason folks need spacers is to clear the...
My list was: aftermarket UCAs, LCA (OEM), outer tie rod ends (OEM), axles (OEM) and LCA to strut bolt (LC bolt is about 1/4" longer)... the break lines wouldn't be a bad idea, but I ended up having enough length and didn't do them. Also the conversion reduced the axle angles enough (vs same...
If you have read all the threads, then I am probably repeating myself, but Ben at Filthy is definitely the way to go. If you know how you are going to use your truck, Ben can help you dial in exactly what you need. The 2 best mods I have done for handling and ride comfort/performance are...
@Taco2Cruiser My rig is currently in getting the spark plug tube seals done. I have oil in almost all of my tubes, so assuming the worst. Would you mind elaborating on what you did to fix the FPIG failure? Thanks in advance!
