Bought some tokens and used the site yesterday. Had a list of 30 part #'s for a door rebuild project, and this saved me probably an hour of searching each individual site and compiling an availability & price sheet. Impex had best pricing on...

Not everyone wants to 🤷 A big chunk of my customers are even other shops that don’t want to spend time doing research, asking Toyota about availability, etc

My 06 is completely rust free without even a spec. Since this is generally not the first area to rust, I would do a much more thorough check of the underside, especially to check the rear members. I wouldn’t buy anything that’s been painted or...

Many thanks is to @batthewmrown for coming by and giving us an extra set of hands last night, and some sanity checks during start up. I had originally primed the oil pump and stabbed the dizzy at verified TDC on #1. The valve cover was off so...

A word of thanks to all for the assistance; except for the hater that beat me up for my slow response to a battery warning light. Sometimes life gets in the way... Charged the battery and put in a reman denso alternator. All seems well for now...

After we lost control on gravel and hit a tree (low speed, no one hurt), I went on the hunt for another 100 within our budget, which was not easy. I bought the one we totaled (a 1998 LX470) 9 years ago with 121,000 miles for $10,500. That rig...

Alf Yes! Totally! I hear you on the “another subscription” thing. I offer it because many like the simplicity and now, cost savings because I do have purchasable tokens that never expire: cruisin4parts.com/pricing (scroll down below the...

Buy a hitch from any shop. It is easy to install. It's actually a good news story: You know that your 100 wasn't used to tow, so it wasn't under much stress (transmission & suspension) in it's former life! I'm sure you will pull something...

Easily $20 grand if you have a friend do the swap these days, climbs steeply for a shop. I did a vortec 5.3 swap and love the power but have had your same experiences over the last 20+ years and it takes all the fun out of trips. I have quite the...

Did mine yesterday. Immediate impressive difference, but my OEM links were totally shot.

G'day from another side of the pond. Here’s my beloved 105 with sluggish but reliable 1HZ under the hood. 124k km on the clock, bought from 1st owner who treated her like a princess so that I can treat her like a queen. It’s a 2006 GX-R...

Any chance that this spring hanger (see pic) is bent? It should be plumb and level, *unlike* in the photo. If the carb has been off and back on anytime in recent history, this bend can happen very easily. It may not be your problem, but it's my...

OK, sorted....I should have started with the easy stuff first but checked the tow plug and saw it wasn't getting any juice so checked the brake switch and discovered one small spade clip had worked itself loose or might have been jostled loose...

Little bit of an update, doors are almost ready for primer, no more holes found in the floor… Yes the photos are terrible, I didn’t take them, I got sent them by the bodywork guy Kenneth

I just installed my HD fan clutch just in time for some +90 DEG F temps here. My temp gauge creeps up but on my Sniper CTS ( which is mounted in the block drain on the LH side of the engine) I will see 210 Max on a 10min climb in second gear...
