    Solid work.

    Don't let @T-Rex266 see this. He's having anxiety for you due to your low fuel levels.

    I honestly think it's fine. Fill up 25 miles after the light comes on. Especially if your not driving it often. Don't want the gas just sitting in there, so I'd only add around 1/4 tank at a time unless I knew it needed a full tank for a trip or something.

    How far out on the timing belt again though?

    Thanks! :hattip:Got a picture of the '06?

    I started off with Ironman but I wasn't happy with the suspension so a year later I put the OME kit on from FirstGenOffroad

    I am not a fan of leather seats at all. But, Meguiar's leather cleaner and conditioner did a good job. I'm no expert, just a happy clean crappy leather seats owner. Sorry no pictures at this time.

    I don’t like it under 50-55. Makes it feel like it’s lugging and wanting downshift when you give it any pedal.

    old school was leave it off unless you’re on the highway.

    Changed the oil and rotated tires today. While under the vehicle i found some more work to do. Both oem cv axel boots were dry rotted and to the point of needing to be replaced. I also noticed the drivers side steering rack boot was wet and oily. Gotta start getting a parts list together for this one. If the whole rack needs to be replaced I may just pay my mechanic. I'm not trying to spend all day dealing with that.

    I had this on the '04, degrease it good and keep an eye on your PS fluid. I ran mine this way for years and the PS level barely moved. Unless it's really bad, do a clean and check every oil change.

    Also if you're not slinging grease yet, you might just need to re-boot your axles. What ever you do, don't scrap them!

    Tell me to shut my mouth if you already knew all this. :laugh:

    I learned that lesson the hard way. So many oem only parts I have to source now. I am going to follow your advice on the steering rack though and just start with a clean and degrease. Maybe drain and fill the power steering fluid as well? I'll keep an eye on that for now but will be ordering the cv axels. Just got home from work and digging into parts lists.

    I was going to say the same. Those Toyota axles are built well and you can re-boot them and run them. Don't throw them out either way.
