    Japanese North Face Tent N-1000 Rain Fly Question

    I would contact TNF customer service. TNF changes their products over time and the CS staff doesn't have exhaustive records of everything they've ever made, but if it's not too far back, they may have official old catalog photos available to them which will help tell if it's the correct fly. Is...

    Scepter Water Can Dimensions

    Wavian cans from the Land Rover place.I bougt a couple of these in 2013. I keep them full and ready to go. They were about $60 then. I carry them laid flat on a roof rack. No leaks ever. Still on the original gaskets. I like the dull green color rather than bright red. The Wavian cans are...

    Wavian Jerry cans

    My green ones that I got from that Land Rover mail order place ten years ago have been stored inside an Action Packer, outdoors. They have absolutely no sign of any paint degeneration except where they rub on the metal frame of my roof rack. Was your stored in a hostile/corrosive environment...

    New 02 4Runner headlight upgrade?

    Best plug and play solution: New OEM Toyota headlight assemblies. Possible extra enhancement: Slightly brighter than standard bulbs in new headlight assemblies. There were two models of headlight for the 96-02 4Runners. 96-99, 00-02. The 00-02 units use a clear front glass, the older style...

    RELEASE: BlueRibbon Coalition Sues to Overturn Biden Monument Designations

    Designation of these National Monuments doesn't affect my use/appreciation of the PUBLIC LAND involved.

    4Runner Noobie!

    At 6'4", you will not fit sleeping in the back of 3rd gen 4Runner, even with the rear seat bottoms removed. You'd have to sleep with the rear hatch door open a few inches. I'm 5'11, and I have to prop the rear hatch open with a shoe or some such if I want to sleep non-diagonally. Your...

    2016 Toyota Tacoma pictures released!

    The look seems in line with current fashion........ but that's not saying much. Aside from the embarrassing cartoon front, the apparent 'chop-top' styling featuring reduced window height is wrong, wrong, wrong. Why would anyone want less visibility?

    3rd Gen 4Runner Water Leak

    Here are my bonehead suggestions: Why can't you go ahead and break the buttons and have new ones standing by for reassembly? If it were possible, the best cure for the smell would be to wash the headliner, possibly using some aggressive fungo-poison. Diluted bleach, Lysol maybe? I guess you'd...

    2000 4Runner Upper Ball Joints R&R?

    I just bought OEM UBJs about a month ago. They appear to still be for sale at the online dealers. Maybe some local dealers stopped selling them because of DIY yahoo types. Uppers are supposedly not as critical to use OEM as lowers.

    99 tacoma with 3.4 temp gauge

    Not exactly what you've asked about, but the Scangauge 2 has a nice water temp(ºF or ºC...your choice)function, among many others. Probably more $$$ than a single dial gauge, though.

    JDM wing mirror?

    I've got a 1997 4Runner. I dislike the flat driver's side mirror. Does anyone know if the same vintage, JDM Hilux Surf left hand mirror will be a convex, wide-angle type?

    5VZ-FE Cat Options

    My own personal fantasy is that because the aftermarket cats have the minimum possible amount of expensive catalyst materials in them, that they just wear out and become ineffective sooner than the more richly endowed OEM units.

    Does this sound like a bad starter?

    As a confirmed parts replacer as opposed to a parts rebuilder, my impulse--based on your description-- would be to replace the starter--after having inspected the 12V supply and switches to make sure it's not a decayed wire, switch, or connector . Folks with a nice workbench in their garage...

    Good on-line source for OE Toyota Tacoma parts?

    For online ordering where I don't need human assistance, I usually do my initial lookup on ToyoMotorParts(formerlyToyotaPartsEast), which has link-thru access to the OEM parts drawings--an invaluable resource. I usually order from ToyotaPartsZone, a dealer in Southern California which apparently...

    seat cover

    Some folks seem to love them(Wet Okoles), but if I lived in a hot climate, I'd want to think twice about rubber seat covers. I've used these for years in an FJ 60 and my current mini truck with 4Runner buckets. Mine--about ten years and hardly any signs of wear--actually fit way better than the...

    Anti theft ideas?

    X2 on the fuel pump cutoff switch. If your '92 is like my '91, the blue wire running under the passenger seat is the fuel pump power. Easy to interrupt this line. The biggest hassle is taking the seat out to access it. Btw, as a longtime apartment complex resident, an alarm that you can't...

    Power steering box install

    I did it myself(in my '91) when I had more time than money. Mechanically easy, basically just unhooking and rehooking stuff. You'll need a puller($35 for a good one) for the Pittman arm. Take your time and you'll be fine.

    Ignitor HELL - Please help!

    Go to car-part.com; most every dismantle yard nationwide is on it, and you can select the area by city, state, region, etc. Good luck in your search--there's got to be zillions(hundreds) of those things available.

    Troll Question re: Front Bench Seat

    The reason the mini truck bench seats will never be comfortable is because the only suspension they have is the seat cushion foam itself. There are no springs. The foam has to made soft in order to act as a suspension. Soft, in this case, is too soft.
