This is what I found in my 05 ROM. Timing compensation when running real cold or real hot. And there is in fact a fuel compensation table based on coolant temp. However, as you can see, the current set up does not affect fuel enrichment if the coolant temp is real high. So me seeing rich situation when running hot was probably from some other reasons (e.g. high boost situation).

Might as well right? I like the roar of V8 power, the wooosh of turbo sound, but when I go offroading (I have an old heavily modified 98 XJ btw), I think it's cool to have loads of low end torque and be quiet while you're at it.

Right. I've seen Taco fans on youtube arguing that for that price, might as well buy a Tundra! Not that much price diff.

Newer Tacomas are turbocharged now! But $$$. Looks like the Tacoma fans are not happy about the new engine and the increase in MSRP.

I have to check mine. Maybe I am wrong. But I do recall watching my real time AFR values while coolant temps were above 219F (with IAT>110F) and she was running rich.

yeah, when the coolant temp goes above a certain threshold, the ECU commands a richer mixture, probably to help cool down the combustion chamber.

That's a good point. I know that past a certain coolant temperature, the ECU adjusts a bunch of things such as AFR, timing and probably a bunch of other things.

I'd check the following: -long term fuel trims (should be within +/-5%) -making sure both OCV angles are in sync and the same, whenever the angle is non zero. Usually happens under load. -keep an eye on misfire count per cylinder -knock obviously Both of my cars are still rocking original crank, 02, maf, etc... sensors . I did change one coil pack on each car, but that's it I think. Both 180K+.

Not answering your question, but what was the problem in the end?

Yeah. I just checked them out. Lots of choice for wheel bearings there, including BCA, which looks like it is essentially NTN bearings.

Really? OK. Good to know.

My last set of rear wheel bearings lasted quite a while, close to a 100k. And I have a lot of dead weight in the trunk too (~150 lbs); also rocking quite negative camber as well for them canyons . Not sure if the latter add more strains to the wheel bearings.. My front ones are currently some NTN ones I got on ebay. 46k miles so far. I usually get everything from ebay and very rarely encounter any problem. Will keep in mind rockauto though. rhino, where do you source your BCA wheel bearings from?

That's strange. You may have to retrace your steps when you were fixing the washer sprayer. Maybe you messed up something? As for me: my supposedly Timken brand rear wheel bearing lasted a whopping 10K miles . Full of play. Bought it on eBay. Has 'Timken' brand and manufacturing date stamped on wheel bearing. Looks legit, but definitely crap. The one before that lasted a week! I'll have to buy my bearings from Napa next time..

It should fit unless the legacy JDM bumper is even thinner than the outback version. I would doubt it though. Either way, does not hurt to try..

KZJonny, do you need a rear bar for the LGT or Outback? if LGT, it should fit without the foam. I have a JDM outback rear bumper on one of my cars and I got a USDM Legacy rear beam with it.
