yeah next oil change im going straight to napa. i need a better oil filter than the fram ones. i heard they are cheaper than cheap.... but thats what i get for going to o'reillys

So i have been searching and wonder after Nate came by, if anyone has the MX 6 coilovers on their truck. Is the right and left different from one another, meaning is there a spacer on one and non on the other? Ill take pictures later. I was told they were different before the lift was put on, but i never thought anything of it. Now im curious to see others.

otherwise im going to 4wheelparts today or tomorrow.

 

Google image and procomp's website show me that they are supposed to be equal

 

i wonder if one of my coilovers is meant for another truck.... im gunna have to call 4wp

 

Anybody have an exhaust shop that they recommend? I'm looking to ditch my primary cats with some test pipes. But I still want to keep the secondary cats.. Need to keep it under $200.

 

Aloha Friday everybody, have a good one!

 

I believe the only difference is the orientation on the bottom where the cup sits on the shock, supposed to help with sway bar clearance.

 

got my starter changed out, the one in had deffently been the original starter


now the engine makes a very weird noise, I have come to the conclusion that I have some water in the engine and lost engine oil some how.

 

Drivers side c/o with spacer - you can see where the sway bar nut has scraped the c/o spacer



passengers side c/o without spacer - the difference is this one can be adjusted maybe a half inch more to be maxed where the other one has an inch and a half...

 

did you check your oil? might be a good time to change it

 

Might could try pulling a spark plug and sticking a borescope in to look for water? And drain the oil to look for water.

 

Me to I use royal purple in my 04 for 6 years I like it. Don Quijote has them and the rp oil filters. They also have sales on them 5qt and I think 8.99 per qt. when I went in for service toyota has them for sale instead of toyota oil when getting service at motor imports kinda ripoff tho.

 

Ya, I checked the oil, its incredibly low. I did change the oil a month ago. so it has been recent.

I'll do what my brother use to do every time he hydrolocked his engine, Drain the oil, spray a shit ton of WD-40 in the engine, what for a while then flush out anything else with some more oil, and then fill it up.

 

by any chance do anyone on this island have a spanner wrench for icon coilovers? I just installed a set and it didn't come with it. please lmk, 562 606 for zero six five.

 

Sorry, I don't. But if you find one, it is worth the effort to remove the shocks and adjust them, instead of adjusting them on the truck. Been there, done that, don't want to do it again

 

Anyone know where i can find plexi glass? is that something i can just pick up at home depot, or ace hardware??

 

I think you can get that at any hardware store, Call before you dive there. save some gas

 

sweet thanks...
its only for the intake box cover. hopefully im going to get a custom TRD engraved one made out of plexi instead of my aluminum one that came with the volant intake

 

Homedepot has plexi and lexan, but I think its only up to 1/8, back by the doors and windows. But most of them are larger sheets. The City Mill in Kaneohe has some back in the outside by the countertops.

Like Dylan said, Min Plastic has just about everything.

 

Pm sent

 

So, Gonna change the oil, and try to get any moisture, or water out of my engine. I thing I got all the essential products I need.
