@Ridies I'm in the market for a set of these. In another thread, member have reported that the white plastic sewn-on clip at the front edge of your seat covers is the wrong profile and does not clip correctly onto the seat frame as intended. Have...
Drop shipped from 10,000 feet? That packing/taping job is a disaster, but fortunately it's a LCA. It's a stout part that is designed to get knocked around. Should be OK if the joint didn't get tweaked.
Received my Westboro shipment last week...
bumping. Anyone dealt with this?
Recap: the sunroof drive cable assembly (blue box below) appears to binding up in the driver side sliding roof guide rail (red box below). I don't know if it's a rail lubrication problem or a jammed cable. I can...
Oh hell yes. Funny, I was just thinking this morning about building an AI agent that could do this, and here it is, done. Do you have insight on Lexus dealers too?
I was charged sales tax ordering from Westboro Toyota during last week's 25% off sale and in my experience Serra and some of the others SE dealerships don't collect it. At least not on my prior orders. So, 'only' 20% off might be actually worth a...
I forgot I posted a how-to on this.
Kind of amazing that you can thrash these rigs on a trail but a wrong half turn of a tie rod will throw your steering out of whack.
Same happened when I did mine. It's possible you skipped a tooth on the spline, but I did not - it was between teeth and I still can't understand why. Teeth are 10 degrees apart, and I was off by about half that.
I fixed it by adjusting the...
Welp, I watched the Car Care Nut’s 43 minute video of a full teardown and replacement of a 100-series sunroof, and now that I understand better how the mechanism works I’m wondering whether I have a bound-up drive cable on the driver side. At...
Building on this thread, which describes a similar issue but no clear resolution.
My sunroof has worked perfectly up to today. I exercise it at least once a month: open/close/tilt, and blow debris out of the nooks and crannies, clear the drains...
In Seattle these would be fair-to-slightly high prices for a local (rust-free, maintained) rig. Timing belt R&R is 4.5h per the FSM, and I'd add .5h for the water pump once everything is open.
So 5 hours for $1065 is a little over $200/hr -...
Those are lump sum labor costs, so it’s hard to evaluate them. Could vary by the condition of the vehicle and what other work is being done. Can you break it down by hours?
In my area (Seattle), I’d expect an experienced tech in a shop with...
Is that the same 100 we saw a thread about here? Plexi roof? Glad to see someone put it to better use. Not much else you can do with a roofless rig. Convertible maybe?
I’m more interested to see how good shape this nearly 500k mile hundy is...
I stumbled across this today:
Looks like 25% off all parts at Acton Toyota of Littleton. The promo code BOSTONPROMO26 makes me think this is a New England regional thing? I tested the cart and I see the discount applied along with free...
A little love and a LOT of cash. Those skilled people are not cheap.
No. This is not the project you are looking for.
Forget your cart. You'll have the nicest truck at the junkyard with those structural rust problems.
See above.
Doubtful...
- I assume you mean timing belt? Any evidence beyond seller's words?
- What is 'light for brake module'? Did you pull codes?
- CarFax? Service history?
$8k is a strong buy if no major issues, but just a down payment if there is a ton of deferred...
Welcome! Most folks here are functional offroaders. Might be helpful to define what you're actually doing with the truck.
For true offroading, the ability air down a tire to 10-15psi is very useful as @Trapper50cal says. This reduces the...
