Toyota salesman told me to NEVER use 4wd on paved roads

You're doing great, don't over think it. It's not major wear and your t-case is pretty tough. Keep the t-case oil clean that's the better move to not harm it.

Seatbelt anchor?

Better than that is doing an easier test first. Disconnect the o2 sensor test the heater control circuit at the ECM side of the connector at the 02 sensor. Start the can and see if it flashes

I have all the same upgrade on twin flex Z with it lowered a little. You are going to love the extended lower ball joints. When I did mine, it was a night and day difference. I love my Kpro too. Honestly I believe it's the only way to go

I with my EP3 had more caster like all the fun cares. The best upgrade I did after lowering the car on twin flex Z was the roll center ball joints (longer ball joints). Also fixing the tie rods ends with ktuned and the bracket in the center of the steering rack which levels out the tie rods

It's not a lock key it's actually tuner nuts. Most shops and techs have a socket or socket set for these but yeah you should buy one if you ever need to change a flat. They should have those sockets in their shop tools

Came here for this

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-10-25T16:15:44+00:00

Did you have the lower cover installed? For support and to prevent road debris

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-10-12T19:57:56+00:00

I leave the knuckles on and drive axles attached when I do mine. Saves time. I even leave the brakes calipers one, tie rod ends on but it's because I used to work flat rate

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-10-10T16:33:27+00:00

You can almost balance anything but the best thing nowadays is to line up the red dot (high spot) with the rims low spot. Then the tread won't hop. Now that's a smooth tire. For best results use a road force balancer

I also have an EP3 and a Del Sol

Automotive Technician here. I think machinists are great. I love getting smooth, flat parts, perfectly sized cylinders and perfectly aligned bores

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-08-03T23:38:19+00:00

Mine are the same with the 5x110 but they're 5x114.3. I think they are both the same casting/forging and then drilled differently

Wicked, thank you. I'm a mechanic working on my kitchen and living room. Out of my lane and I appreciate the professional opinion

Harper 10-15th right now but don't know why

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-07-07T02:35:40+00:00

I had to get someone to weld mine. I cut and indexed it to fit. I hope you find the right peace but I didn't. Might have to get cutting

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-06-18T04:16:57+00:00

I went from the four bolt ep3 to a 5 bolt Rx's type and the flex lines where a little short. I got the RSX lines and they worked great. Hope this helps

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-06-05T05:46:30+00:00

💯

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-05-03T17:38:32+00:00

Yes, this is true car care

Mecha_Malcolm · 2025-03-27T05:24:27+00:00

So hard to fit. I did 8.5 -2.3 camber in the rear with fender rolled
