    Easy and simple protection. Shoulda done it when I first installed suspension. Hose was getting some rub from the tires so put on these Dobinsons Reservoir Hose guards.

    Those are what the 4th gen Tacoma owners need while they're waiting for the fix for the brake lines...

    I did the same. Those lock nuts are more of a pain than a benefit.

    I read that as it's only been done once, if that. How many miles since the last change?

    Yeah, it's due. Good on ya to keep up with the maintenance. I did all my fluid changes earlier this week. Spark plugs, too. And a starter. (Too many water x-ings :annoyed:. All 7 of us had starter issues.) Still need to do the oil change and tire rotate. 108,000 miles. Headin' to Alaska for a month on the 21st.

    Just got back from my annual inspection. Tech said “man that is one of the cleanest and nicest 4runner I’ve seen!” Put a smile in my face :)

    Found a deal a few weeks back on toyota coolant from a dealer, finally spent some time on it and rotated tires. Only down side is it took me hours to swap tires around: I feel so much older.
