So I just talked with my insurance agent, it will be treated as one claim, I can have them do an estimate from photos and then find out if there's any premium hit from adding the claim for my car or not, $500 deductible, so no reason not to send...
This. I’m in WA State too and just had a similar (but smaller/cheaper) incident. My agent said that my company would allow one at-fault “mulligan” per 5 years, but it’s a factor of claims history, risk factor, tenure with the company.
I asked...
I’m aware of a tool that forces grease into new bearings. Link to the one you’re thinking of?
I just recently noticed it, may have simply not been paying attention before. I’ve only had the rig for half a year. The tcase fluid was just changed...
I’m troubleshooting two symptoms that I’m connecting to wheel bearings:
1. A quiet, rhythmic growl that increases with speed
2. Looseness in the front DS wheel when wiggled at 12 and 6 o’clock.

Heater tees. Remember to replace BOTH, not just the one that failed. If your radiator is original, replace that now too.
Hoping that you pinned the temp gauge for only a brief moment. My guess is you don’t have much coolant left in the system.
The upper part does not illuminate at all. Also remember that models with ambulance doors or factory rear-mounted spare tires don’t have the tailgate lamps.
So, the entirety of required rear lighting is handled by the corner lamps.
Timing BELT not chain in these rigs. As others have said, baseline your maintenance first. Plenty of threads on the topic, start with the stickies at the top of this forum. Drivetrain fluids are one good thing to put on the list. If your radiator...
maintenance before mods. always. guys i know its temping to start shopping for a lift right away, but this is an old venicle. I think @Vthelexus list is a good start
I recently replaced my worn Yokohama G015s with the same, but one mild off-road trip resulted in a blown-out sidewall of a nearly-new tire. I lost my trust and Discount Tire offered to swap me out to Yokohama A/T 4s, I took the offer.
I’m...
I did a little dive into this since I just had to service my taillight and discovered this quirk. I’m led to believe that the “wraparound” onto the tailgate was done for aesthetic reasons, but that since the tailgate tapers near the top, there...
I’m trying to imagine using that tiny cooktop and sink 🤣.
I’ve always found the tailgate to be better food prep area when camping, plus no open flame inside the vehicle.
I’ve seen some oddball JDM variants but never this one before:

Well, DIY got me this far:
It’s wrinkled, but within 1/16” of where the metal should be. I figure I’ll either take it to a body shop later, maybe attempt some filler/glaze/smooth, or just live with it. It’s entirely cosmetic, tailgate works...
That’s the “city light,” or position indicator. Illuminates on the first switch detent, along with the corner/turn markers.
In some markets (JDM, Euro, Middle East) this was a regulatory requirement — vehicles had to show white forward-facing...
An off-center steering wheel is one of those little OCD things for me. If you have this problem, read on:
1) the following assumes you have a correct alignment and stock steering. If your truck is pulling to one side, wobbling, tramlining, or...
