Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
Hey I have a 4th gen 4Runner and I put Bilstien 5100s on it and it rides like a gem, don't feel bumps or pot holes at all!
I went with the latest mini version from VIOFO. For the price, it felt like a great value: 4K 30fps + HDR and good image quality.
I buy 5 OE Toyota filters at a time from Amazon ( approximately $6 ea ) Purchase Ow-20 Idemitsu oil from NAPA ( ships free to my home ) in the cost saving 6gal box ( 24 qts ) for about $125 with their online coupon. Use this in both my Avalon and my Tundra- both run like a dream.
I use PUP 0w20 in mine. Lots of tests and UOA show that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is the best non-boutique oil you can buy. But honestly any top shelf oil will work. 5k km intervals are more important than brand with a turbo engine.
If you’re in the US you can pick up a FleetGuard PN# FF5159 (fits my 1996 Prado 1kz) from any local Cummins dealership or Cummins certified shops, you can also order them online.
I just ordered the Aisin kit from RockAuto for my '05 Sequoia. The only thing I didn't like is that it cokes with a Mitsubishi timing belt.
My last OEM Toyota alternator made it to 250K miles. My future non-Toyota ones failed because they were cheap remanufactured ones and later I found a failing harmonic balancer that was putting extra pressure on bearings of the alternator
And it has a Warn Zeon 9000lb winch which I think is not enough winch for the car, but I’ll probably live with it - my last few builds haven’t had winches at all.
As someone pointed out, don't expect the 150 dollar alternator to last that long. I threw on my 4runner a few months back because that's all that was in stock locally and I'm gonna have to replace it again, it's already whining. I'd definitely spend $350 or whatever it is on a denso unit
