I may finally be ready to lift my truck and Im only familiar with Bilstein kits..Is it actually great for a daily driver that still sees the occasional trail? For those who have tried, how has the ride quality and reliability been over time? Where did you get yours? Shock Surplus, mudify, or somewhere else?

Title says it all. I change my own oil all the time but I literally just spaced out and drained the transmission plug instead. Added the usual oil to the engine. It's been a few days but I haven't driven much, maybe 15 or 20 miles at most, and gently.

Am I fucked? Just dropped it off at the shop and they're going to drain and refill both. I felt some minor slipping but honestly it was driving perfectly fine, glad I caught it. Have a road trip starting this weekend so praying the trans is okay.

I have this leak, I checked my coolant, no bubbles or does it smell like exhaust. Could it possibly just be leaking outwards and not inside. Also if anyone has steps of replacing gaskets I would appreciate it. I found some vid but nothing really.. do I NEED to remove radiator when breaking down to gaskets . Thx

Air compressor started making noise and I had a great deal on a Denso compressor so I bought it.

Had a shop evacuate refrigerant, then installed the new compressor.
Had the shop re-charge it, but now my system high and low side are both overcharged. (95f ambient, readings are 60psi/355psi at idle, should be ~55/275)

Reviewed my process and I did NOT measure the oil from the old compressor. I just installed my prefilled new one. I didn’t account for the remaining oil in the rest of the system. I’m guessing I’m oil logged.

Today, I brought it back to the shop to have refrigerant recovered again and asked them to weigh it so I know if it’s overcharged with refrigerant or oil. Next I’m going to take it home, pull the compressor and dump out some oil.

Online estimates say around 2ozs of oil remain in the system. The new compressor came prefilled with 5ozs. I’m going to dump out 2ozs of oil and re-install my compressor.

How does this plan sound to you? Any critiques?

Do yall guys think these Toyota tacoma 4x4 2020 will fit my 2004 4runner?
