    They are very sturdy. I’ve had 2 fully loaded for 8 months and a few offroad trips and we’re still good.

    Thx. I chose the grey ones so they could actually be seen. I got them off eBay. Just shopped for the best price.

    Life gets in the way sometimes. My asthma has been slowing me down & the heat doesn't make me want to crawl under the truck. It's supposed to cool down some this weekend, so I'll pull the splash pan & look around. The days I drive the truck, I check all the fluids & they've been ok. Maybe I'll know on Saturday.

    Yup. Odo is stuck at 299999. Been there since early 10. Keep a log book of the oil changes. 140 miles a day use to be 7 days a week, now only 5 days a week. Father drives it to work. Not to mention multiple road trips

    What's the scoop on this? Is it really better than Mobile 1? It looks to be around $5 more for 5 qts.

    Been the most trouble free car we’ve owned. Original engine and trans. Motors starting to sound bad, but she keeps tickin. Cold leak down was 22% leakage. Warm is 6% on the worst cylinder. Pretty impressive

    I've mostly always run Mobil 1. But I keep seeing the Pennzoil natural gas oil commercials and wanna know if anyone's used em before.

    According to a youtube video I watched, the Pennzoil is better. I believe the guy, so I'm switching to it.

    Soooooo...... I'm considering parting ways with my Tundra.

    I am curious if anyone would be interested in the pile of parts I have laying my garage. All of these parts won't be cheap to ship, however I'm willing to ship them if the price is right.


    I have The eibach pro-truck lift kit. So front and rear shocks, new coil springs, new upper spring isolater and such. They are full assembled and ready to be installed. Should give 2-3" of lift.

    I also have both (right & left) lower control arms as well. Brand new, toyota OEM, these are fully assembled with factory bushings.

    Lastly I have both brand new Lower Ball Joints, toyota oem.
