I have a 2001 4Runner that I recently purchased and the previous owener put a 3" body lift on the truck and although she drives great the front end alignment is messed up. The wheels have a toe in look and the outside of the tires is getting worn. So my question to you is that, did the body...

Today I was pulling out of a parking space and it was a tight turn to get out so I had her cranked over and upon doing this I hear a loud hisssss and I lost my power steering. I guess the pressure got to the hoses and the hose lost. Do I have two questions. One were is the best place to...

It is a FJ62 and I didn't think about the neutral switch. Over the last several weeks when I would turn the key it was take 1-3 seconds before it would re engage. I don't have my service manual. Could someone snap a pick of the neutral switch and the adjustment instructions please...

What would be a properly adjusted kick down cable?

How can you tell your torque converter isn't engaging?

So my brake master cylinder is going and I called Toyota today and its $200 + new so I opted or the rebuild kit. Should I of bought new? Will I have success rebuilding it?

I am running a SOA on my FJ62 and as everyone know the shock mounts for the rear need to me moved to accomadate the lift. Well my two rear shocks have actually sheered off the frame and i am now running no shocks in the rear. She is extremely bouncy and i have gotten use to it but its time to...
