the ride is great now that i can actually raise the fronts to the height I wanted! Had to contact Function & Form and they sent me a longer shock body which I installed and now my coilovers can go low or high in the front!

Interesting. How much longer where the shock towers? Have a part number? I am getting ready to order mine soon.

i don't remember how much longer the new ones were, but if you run into the same issue simply contact function and form and they will send you longer shock bodies for the front shocks and you just have to pay $20 for shipping. They claim you won't be able to go as low with the longer shock bodies in the front but that is nonsense, I can still adjust mine pretty damn low if i wanted to.

anyone know why this wire might be installed? Doesn't look factory to me. Runs to the positive battery terminal and the fuse box.

I’d say trace the wires but my guess would be some sort of tracker or something along those lines

I opted for pretty much all OEM toyota parts, with the exception of the idler #1 & idler #2 which were koyo.

1. Toyota OEM Timing Belt 13568-09070 $43 shipped
2. Idler #1 Roller Tensioner Koyo 13505-0F010 $30 shipped
3. Idler #2 Bearing Koyo 13503-0F010 $28 shipped
4. Toyota OEM Hydraulic Tensioner 13540-50030 $39 shipped
5.
Toyota OEM Front Cam Seals (2) 90311-71002
Toyota OEM Front Crank Seal (1) 90311-A0001
$70 shipped package deal for the seals
6.
Toyota OEM Water Pump 16100-59275-83
Toyota OEM Water Pump Gasket 16271-0F010
$96 shipped package deal
7.
Toyota OEM Thermostat 90916-03100
Toyota OEM Thermostat Gasket 16346-50010
$19 shipped package deal
8. Toyota OEM Serpentine Belt 99366-H2230 $45 shipped
9. Toyota OEM Radiator Cap 16401-50071 $25 shipped

Also, added to the list:
10. Fan Bearing Bracket Toyota OEM Part # : 16307-50011
there's a couple things that I would now add to this list. You can buy a new pulley with bearings already pressed in, or you can save $ and use your existing pulleys and press out and in, them being:

Serpentine Belt Tensioner Pulley Bearing 17mm shaft diameter, 40mm OD, Quantity:1 bearing, Mcmaster-Carr Part #: 5972K44
Toyota OEM Part # (for pulley & bearing): 16603-0W010

Serpentine Belt Idler Pulley Bearing 12mm shaft diameter, 37mm OD Mcmaster-Carr Part #: 5972K86
Toyota OEM Part # (pulley & bearing):

so i tried removing that green wire and putting everything back together. My clock, radio, climate control, and entire dash lights stopped working altogether.
Re-installed the green wire and they all work again just fine. Makes me wonder what is going on, remedy for a bad ground maybe?

I feel like something between the interior fuse and a constant power wire failed, and the only/easiest way to fix was jumping/bypassing via that wire.

anyone know which transmission cooler line is which that goes to the radiator?

I'm installing a magnefine inline transmission filter and i want to put it on the return line. Just trying to figure out which is the outlet from transmission vs the return line to transmission
