@landcruiser3DP A belated thank you for a great write-up to help with belt replacement. I also wanted to comment on one of the things I like about mud - effective creative writing and humour while discussing technical issues - Aaron Ralston! Classic! I keep my cell phone on me just in case 😌

Rotated a revolution and I think I'm set. Thanks for the guidance!

Many thanks. I appreciate you confirming the alignment marks will rotate. I've also read a bit more, and it looks like I may need to rotate 180* ( ie I have two dots on the inside of the gears and one on the outside and it should be the reverse).

Hi all! I replaced the o ring on distributor and want to make sure I've installed it properly before I button up the valve cover. Set to '0', dots on gears lined up, marks on distributor gear and arm(?) lined up,...but when I slide it in, the gear and arm marks are no longer lined up (see the...

I think you've got your answer but I like to wrench on the truck, but doing this kind of work doesn't interest me and I think is specialized enough that you want someone who does this for a living. Overall found the experience to be reasonable - I bought the kit, they shipped it to a...

Quick follow-up. I now have the seats back and a few observations: - The kit comes with enough leather to do the center console and arm rests (maybe enough for door cards too - didn't want to touch those - The second row does have replacement carpet in the bottom. It is color matched to the...

Looks amazing! I'm just bringing them the pieces as the interior is completely pulled apart for the redo. They gets the seats, console top and armrests!

Thanks Jon - That looks great. Nice to see they do the center console and seat arm rests too! I'm replacing carpet with new OEM so should feel (and smell) like a new truck after 3 years!

Just to keep this in the same location. I just ordered the Katzkin replacement. They send directly to a shop for install bringing OEM seat foam as well. Question for those that have done this. The 2nd row seats have carpet on the bottom so when they are 'tumbled forward' you see the carpet /...

I thought people might be interested in my Canadian rebuild. Before and after photos! Just kidding - every bolt had to extracted and all four screws for the engine compartment had to be ground off. Note that I had to replace this as the mounting surface had broken. When I install this, I'll be...

OTRAMM you are a genius for manufacturing this part in stainless. I wish your option had been around when I started to stockpile the parts I needed.

Absolutely. You might as well replace them as you can, despite the added expense. Note the #6 body bushings are no longer stocked by Toyota so you will have to reuse of find an alternative.

Hello fellow Canucks and our friends from the North East. If you’ve made it to this thread you already know you have a leaking fuel filler pipe and it needs to be fixed so you don’t torch your truck or house. I just replace mine and did not cut the pipe to fit and I’ll explain why you should do...

Thought I would add some detail on this thread as I just resolved the issue of a seized transfer case linkage. Living on Ontario, I basically knew the issue was corrosion. Looking at the forward linkage point from under the truck (PS) I could barely pull the retaining pin. Got it off but...

I thought I would add an update for any other Canadians shopping for these parts. First, Canman thanks for the parts suggestions! I too ordered the Magnaflow 23120 and Magnaflow 23622 as well as the Borla cat back system. I ended up ordering all of this from TDOT Performance (Canadian site)...
