Oh wow that's way more than I thought. Yeesh.

How expensive is the evap coil? I'd just replace the whole thing.

I did mine along with the headlights using a wet sand, polish, and 2K clear coat. Great result as well.

Pork chops? Sounds a lot like someone who has owned an E39.

I got the Shock Surplus Spring+Shock package, they assemble the strut for you which is AWESOME. They arrive assembled. Very happy with the product. Bilstein 6112 Strut & Spring + Rear 5160 Reservoir Shocks Set for 2008-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser...

Was seriously thinking about setting it on fire in the driveway. I was beyond furious. You couldn't tell the difference in the o-rings just by looking at them but as soon as they were laid next to each other, game over. I should have paid more...

I was thinking this the WHOLE time. What if I have to do this TWICE? My plan was if it leaked to drive it directly to the dealer. No chance of doing it again in this lifetime.

A good Indy did it for $1500 for me this year. Labor only.

I’ve thought about this a lot. I think I’d get a new Defender 130 Outbound if I replaced it. From people I trust, Defender 6-cylinders after 2024 are reliable (all the V8s are good). D130 is a beast - I test drove on a ridiculous approach and...

I've had our 200 for 10 years and I've put over 100K on it, I love it. 160K on it total. It is 12 years old now. I'm not sure there is really a replacement for it. A solid family hauler with the ability to tow just about anything and go just...

Reaching both the one big wire harness clip behind the manifold as well as threading in each of the EGR valve little bolts (combined with of course the valves being totally aligned with both the exhaust flange and the metal gasket that is razor...

I've been putting this job off for a while but finally bit the bullet and did it this weekend. I'm a very experienced DIYer, I've replaced entire engines, clutches, VANOS overhauls, etc. This job is PURE misery. The ergonomics of even reaching...

On my 2014 it is multiple loose heat shields. One is above the main resonator and a couple of the cat shields are loose. They clank over every expansion joint at low speeds, parking lots, etc. the fasteners or the surface area around the fastener...
