Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

Seems to be where I work always avoids the shade

 

Never met anyone smitten by Conway, SC

 

Yea it is. I hate summer

 

Did the majority of you guys change your timing belt and water pump yourselves? If not then what shops are good around the triangle. Besides the dealerships.

 

Already need to on your 2015? Timing chain

I'd say if you aren't afraid of tearing the majority of your engine apart you can DIY

 

overlanding be like

 

305k and haven’t changed either, maybe I’m slack


Probably

 

My chain looked good at 280k

 

I was going to do as preventative measures but then again it’s not rotting or anything. Had a 2001 4Runner where all that went bad around 150k so I wanted to just be prepared.

 

That was a timing belt the 4.0 has a chain and there really isn't a maintenance schedule for them

 

What about water pump?

 

mine is original OEM at 305k, I’m tempted to change it just because, but the risk of getting a not so good one is there too…. SERP belt has been changed 2 times

 

I guess in my case, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it then.

 

Lazy weekend for me but I was debating tackling my suspension myself tomorrow. Was going to follow this video. Anyone around the area tried this? https://youtu.be/5E6u7dC7EHg

 

Good method, just be careful, you might have a little trouble getting your new springs compressed enough to get the top nut on depending what you went with.

 

Went with 885x on bilsteins. It’s a good video but doesn’t have much on torque specs.

 

There's a thread on here with all the torque specs from Toyota.

 

Found it thanks!
If anyone has experience to help this go by quicker for me and that likes free beer let a brutha know.
