ok - i actually have those bushings after stocking up years ago on a bunch of small parts - so you're saying that with a little luck, the looseness in my shifter might be causing a contact issue ? Guess that makes sense - worth a try. Thanks

Reverse lights Do work. However, I do know that my blue plastic shifter bushings cracked and deteriorated many years ago, and so of course the shifter is a bit loose. As for the rubber bushings you show, I do not know their condition (i just replaced all 24 or whatever suspension bushings so...

Intermittent problem where my ignition switch does not engage the starter without jiggling the shift lever (usually pushing lever hard forward and holding it there) Would like to know two things on this ; 1. Is there a bush fix for the day that it finally craps out on me 2. What are the...

Cool info on the olive green plating. Just as it appears that we all have a slightly different shade of green at this point, I'll bet the timing and ratios and other variables involved in the plating process are mind boggling - and knowing when you are dark enough but not too dark is kinda nuts...

I think you've nailed it with the electroplating idea here. It does make sense that this is plated rather then painted - because for some of the bolts to hold up so well for so long It turns out that my green bolts are not the same shade as other folks here - so getting exact isn't really...

Excellent chance CruiserDan knew off the top of his head Still searching .....so far the dark olive rattle cans available are all flat finish (for camo uses) and although custom orders have a $25 set up fee on top of purchase price, I'll likely just do it. There are some land rover colors that...

many thanks !

looking for name or location (or both) for these two clips (assuming related to folding rear seat)

Thanks to all - I might still be in search of a green to mimic the original (if i go that way) BUT .... at least i know now that it IS some sort of "dark olive bronze" and that my color blindness at least in this case is not getting the best of me. I'm afraid that the purist in me is leaning...

then i guess black it must be... *attached pics this time of dash screw and console screws (and others elsewhere)

my apologies first for being color blind ..... looking for a color code or color name for the visible interior bolts and screws such as the two on the instrument cluster but also seem to be the same as the paint color for the seat bracket to floor as well as others throughout thanks

Appreciate the help - I knew this 1999 4Runner had been hit before i bought it but didn't see this until now....just wondering if I get front rubber mounts (&washer/bolt), is everything else in place for a bolt up ? Hoping it was not there just because the jerk who sold it to me was lazy -...

hi - i do not need the entire plate and window/lock switch assembly i just need the cap to the switch - looks like passenger side is same as the 2 on driver side . my switch works but i busted off the cap and some little white rocker/plunger inside is broken too. I would be able to fix with...

Need a seat belt for a 1999 4Runner Ltd. I am prepping my son's first Toyota truck - for him to use at college. I guess he is joining the group officially :-) ... when he becomes a doctor maybe he will upgrade to an FJ40 :-))))) Gotta be safe and the one that in on the truck is quite frayed on...

I have read the engine oil posts - and I am still not convinced that I am ok using the Shell Rotella T "Heavy Duty Diesel" and the Chevron DeLo 400LE (both as 15W-40) in my 1988 FJ62 with the 3FE petrol gasoline engine. They both say for diesel engines either on the label or on their spec sheets...
