    Did you do the lower manifold too or just the upper? I'm tempted to "while I'm in there" but that mentality sure can snowball, hah! And already has to be honest..

    Thought about it, but it sounds like it's best paired with a tune and I have emissions fears (not here, but in the future..). Also this "little project" has already gone off the rails budget-wise...

    Just the upper. It was pretty flat and brittle.

    i secured my old time favorite brute tote in the bed, drilled with two padlocks and cable locked it, as well as my xbulls boards, notice, cable locked that nice and tight with my secura lock (the paracord are just for helping extract or keep track of them in the event theyre used and buried

    nice light battery LED came with my $154 tonneau

    hoping the 60 lb roughcountry matt (super nice, 3/8 thick), toneau, recovery gear and some tools in tote and xbulls are a nice weight for icy snow winter in MA now, with the double cab

    im coming from a 2004 4runner modded

    Had the truck inspected at a buddy's shop before the Thanksgiving drive to Utah.

    Replaced: wheel hubs, carrier bearing, new lower control arms, got an alignment and brakes inspected.

    I've been chasing a vibration for a while and thought it may be from one of the parts mentioned above. We came to the conclusion the wheels need hub centric rings. There is a small gap between the hub and wheel bore. It starts at 55+ and goes away when I let off the throttle. It's the smallest vibration.

    edit: Truck performed amazing to and from. Last time I made the long drive to Utah was when the truck was stock.

    It's not isolated to finances. I'll tell my wife, "I'm going to do something out in the garage real quick," she just stops me at garage and says, "Don't even say it, good luck."

    I FOUND it in a 'secret' 2nd gen thread or 'easter egg' if you will, and it does open up 1/2" at least + no nighttime tab to see better if youre tall.

    How does one get one of these stickers? I assume you have to get your service done at the dealership?

    But then does my backup cam, thermometer, and compass read in Austrailian units? I knew it was too easy..
