    FREE  80 series rear tailgate plastic lock rod clip

    I have a bag of these from replacing mine a long time ago. They are not exact fit but work well enough. Give me an address and I'll send to you. And then pass the others forward. Or if multiple folks want I can send in envelopes. I think 6 left. -Corey

    What's wrong with this picture (Brake pedal/arm)

    No return spring connected from what I can tell. I had same issue where I forgot to put it back on when I reassembled. Almost exactly what happened to me. Replaced brake booster, in some cases it would pull down the pedal and I'd have to use my toe to pull back up. Was totally dismayed after...

    While You're In There: Replacing brake booster

    Can't speak for OE booster, but the high quality aftermarket(or maybe oem as listed on their page) from Cruiseryard came w/ the check valve. I just bought the two gaskets and installed it. good to go.

    Power Steering Box Rebuild/Reseal/Excessive Play Questions

    @tway Worn components within the box that could not be adjusted out by preload. My guess is both the sector shaft and power piston teeth gears had worn down too much due to poor maintenance by PO's for the original 180k miles. I have since replaced the whole steering box with new from toyota...

    Bored 1FZ-FE ...talk to me

    You can bore out +1 on a 1fz-fe with no downsides. You can use aftermarket or Toyota components as you desire. No affect on longevity other than you are rebuilding new so will last longer than the existing components. It does add a bit more pep in my personal experience, partially due to the...
