    Id take one of these first though, little cheaper. http://www.evhgear.com/gear/guitars/5150-series/5150-series-standard-maple-fingerboard-rocket-red/
    Both the ones I linked were designed/played by Eddie Van Halen, so they'd likely sound pretty similar.

    I would recommend it. Be careful so you don't have to do it 2x. I put a new gasket in my LS400 when I did the tstat but I must have torn it because it's leaking

    I believe that Toyota does not list the thermostat o-ring as needing to be replaced anytime the thermostat is messed with. This likely means that just inspect it, make sure no tears or holes or rips and reuse. No harm in replacing but I wouldn't hesitate to reuse it if it looked good to me

    is that the same as the thermostat housing gasket? (#6). That rubber seal around the actual thermostat typically comes with it, right?

    I'm not sure if the seal/o-ring comes with the new oem thermostat when you buy it

    yep... although, I did hear 'something' when I hit a speedbump at a good clip. Want to say it was the splash liner but when I checked, no obvious signs. Other than that, so far so good.

    I think the 255 85 16 or the 33 10.50 15 are the sexiest tire size for these tacos

    just make sure you get the alignment dialed in and you should be fine. With the SPCs, I set it to the default position (D) and took it into the shop. Had them set me up with 3.0 | 3.4 Caster, 0 Camber and 0 Toe.

    I'm sure you can get away with some fluctuation in the numbers but those SPCs are awesome when set up correctly.

    Noooooooooo! :rofl:

    ST Maxx FTW

    I can only say with the ST/Maxx I don't seem to have an issue yet with the liner. KM3s might be totally different. Just a thought.
