FYI, Did you open the drain valves that's mounted on the motor after flushing the radiator to get the antifreeze out of the heater. I only drained and replaced my antifreeze, not do a flush though. BTW, just in case you didn't know, manual says cooling system uses 9 quarts. kinda sucked since antifreeze only comes in gallons.

 

yup did both drains on both side when i did it. took around two 1 gal jugs of coolant i can't remember.

 

I also went with the zerex antifreeze with Asian marked on the bottle. Was a perfect alternative to what toyota sells. plus, was cheaper too.got it around $16 a gallon, versus about $25 at servco

 

Who has the 2016 OffRoad wheels for sale here? I can't find the post.

 

6-8 weeks on the backorder. If you really want springs, dont waste your time and money on an AAL. You'll be doing twice the work.

They're backordered 6-8 weeks, so unless they have some in stock it wont happen

Should have asked me for a quote, I'm a king dealer as well.

 

I had mine listed earlier but deleted it since I recently sold them.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Just ordered them on Amazon. Lucky they were prime!

 

I called L Brodie's and everywhere else I could think of. No one could get them. weird cuz I see them around so somebody must be selling them. I took Boomkanani's advice and ordered through Amazon.

 

I'll keep that in mind if it falls through. Ordered mine mid-July and still not sure if they're built yet.

 

I'd go to windward servco.

 

what did you end up getting? and how much was? I know I overpaid for the ST Maxx, but Amazon wouldnʻt ship to Kona, so that sucked.

 

ST Maxx in 265/70/17. Kinda wish I got 275 for my future lift but need tires now. $265 a tire, what did you pay at LB? The Oahu shop (Queen st) told me they couldn't get them at all. I overpaid on Amazon too compared to what mainland guys get them for.

I'm pricing out lift kits now and looks like shipping alone is gonna be $200-300 for shocks, springs, AAL.

 

mines was special order cause no one runs a 255/85 tire here. lol. I don't remember the exact total off the top of my head, but I wanna say it was around $305/tire (ordered 5 so they gave me a little "discount"), mounted/balanced/warrantied. at one time Tread Depot had a deal for $185/tire (5 255/85's), but was gonna be $650 for shipping

 

Anyone here getting their leaf spring recall done through servco? Anybody actually have the new ones installed? I want to wait till after that happens to install my lift.

I had the inspection 2 month ago when the letters first went out and they said should be here in 4 or 5 weeks. I just got off the phone with them and was told the parts are backordered and have no idea when they will be in stock. 1 mo, 6 mo, 1 year...no idea.

 

Yea if not stock they wont do the recall .Just got my truck back for ac work and they told me if you go back stock then they can check again.

 

Yea. That's what I heard too. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a lift kit, but I gotta wait till after the recall with no estimated date. Chitty.

 

Aloha! I'll be on da island November time.

 

Shouldn't take that long. I haven't waited more than a month for shocks.

 

Aloha! Just in time for the holidays and the wet season (hopefully)

 

Aren't we already having the wet season?
