Tires are Diamondback. He says they have a 6 year warranty, first 2 years full replacement and roadside support. What about a lockable tongue box? These don't have one and I was going to ask the guy but if they're not necessary/convenient then...

Hello all, I'm not much of a forum poster, preferring to stick to reading and observing, however this particular 100 Series is proving to have had a modifying effect on my behaviors. I previously owned a 2003 Gen 4 4Runner, but after owning it...

Summer wheels are on, Enkei ST6’s in 20x9.5 (et. 30). They required a bit more fender liner shaping (295 55r20 Toyo open country w/ sensor lift) and I pulled off the bora 1” spacers as the offset was much closer to ideal for scrub radius. They...

Pulled my steering wheel to R&R the leather. The truck was up on jack stands at the time, front suspension unloaded. Steering was centered at the time, always been dead perfect when driving. I marked hash marks on the spline hub to ensure it went...

Mine was running about 200-210 in just about any temp. I put a new thermostat in and the temps dropped to around 195. Pretty sure the thermostat was not opening all the way. You're doing what I would do first (assuming your radiator is clean).

Yes. My coolant temp was at 212 after I drove about 45 miles while gaining about 1400 feet in elevation on the freeway. On the return trip, coolant temp was at 201 just driving in city on flat surfaces. Outside temperature was about 84-88.

I’m planning to replace my thermostat in about a week. I’ve never done this before, but it seems pretty straightforward. From what I’ve read, the main thing to watch out for is making sure the jiggle valve is positioned at 12 o’clock. I’m also...

Shot in the dark but are these still available?

TEQ in Houston is my trusted go- to for anything I can’t do myself. Maybe worth a visit.

- You have a nearly 20 year old vehicle with a list of 20 year old vehicle issues - You don’t self-identify as a DIYer - You don’t trust local mechanics and you don’t like the idea of spending what they cost. I think you’ve answered your own...

I very recently upgraded my old worn out factory upholstery. I went with a two-tone color design, with the accent color matching the upper door panels and upper dash. And I also took the opportunity to replace the factory seat heaters with their...

The snorkel. I lived in South America for over 10 years and got used to seeing Land Cruisers, Hilux, and a whole lot of other vehicles with bumpers and snorkels. Since I had to do some body work threw a snorkel on. I wasn't prepared for the...

Popped two tires within 40 yards the other day...both sidewalls (Yoko Geo MT 35x12.50s) Helped @PerryParts test his GX470's metal here at Windrock. "Basically a Land Cruiser" my ass 😘 P.S. 30 degrees does not equal a rollover?

I regret E rated tires for my 95% highway usage. This time around I use aftermarket wheels + SL rated tires and will slap on the Es+stock wheels when I to the trails

Fellow GenXer and industrial designer here. I’ve been 3D printing for nearly 30 years, back to when it was called stereo lithography and the machines cost as much as a house. It’s great to see this at a commodity level but the basic problem is...
