I bought a massive order a while back from Partsouq. A few thousand $$ of parts for my LX and my old Supra. It included a full "muffler" assembly, control arms, and a bunch of smaller delicate stuff, too. It was perhaps one of the nicest packaged...
Just so you know you can get a brand new ready to bolt in GENUINE TOYOTA front for $1234. One of my buddies @Sargy did this a few years ago. The install on that is super easy too.

To be clear, I don't mean my comment as any kind of knock on your skills. :) I think somebody can be an excellent mechanic and still get a diff rebuild wrong on their first try. It's a unique animal with success and failure separated by some...
How many times do you suppose a first time rebuilds a diff with proper backlash and no whine? I give that 50/50 odds that diff is coming back out to do it right a second time, haha.
I always advise customers to buy a genuine remote from Toyota - Yes, it's not cheap and yes, you're getting what you pay for. The aftermarket cheapies are all very hit or miss. I've seen some last a few years and others fail in a month. It's...
@BenM -- Your issue can easily be resolved by swapping transponder chips, please reference my post here...

Poly bushings are as anti-comfort as you can get.
Poly bushings exist primarily because they're cheap to make in small quantities (you can make them at home even) so aftermarket companies love to sell them in bright colors and market them as...
In older cars I've seen this wire mod help and I did it on a couple mk3 Supras with 80's wiring. However, even then I've only seen it take poor lights up to mediocre best case. You still just have old halogen lights with [by today's standards]...
If you're ever in a situation where you can use a winch for recovery, it'll pay for itself a few times over.
IMO, if you travel off-road without another car on any regular basis a winch is a good idea. It drastically reduces your risk of being...
Wait a minute.
Aisan.
Aisin.
Aisin has 100k+ employees.
Aisan has 10k employees.
Two separate companies.
I never knew Aisan was a separate OEM supplier. Huh. Learning more every day...
A hail mary in my case, "just keep everything as cool as possible". At least according to the sales page, the Mishi offered additional fluid capacity. Lots and lots of advice in the boil thread exists to return everything to OEM, make sure...
Oh yikes, my apologies. Didn't mean to offend. We're all here to learn and share experiences on parts. Seemed like relevant info, haha.
Where did you buy the factory ones that failed? Those should last 100-200k each. Maybe those were Denso or...
Why wouldn't you just buy a proper OEM radiator from Toyota? That's the "premium" option in terms of reliability.
Mishimoto was a big name in the import scene 15 years ago. I had one on one of my mk3s. The appeal was a *thicker* aluminum...
The switch controls the the movement of fluid rushing in and out of the globe cavity via a valve. That assumes a given "neutral pressure" and pressure within each globe. That globe pressure is predetermined based on the vehicle's weight and...
In 2020, I bought four globes from Pleiades in the UK at around $600 including shipping. I had them in Alabama and on my LX in 3.5 days after placing my order. They have worked perfectly.
Officially cancelled. Sorry... no AHC for you!!
Now that is $2800 I had set aside for suspension..... looks like I potentially can look into some lockers sooner than later!
Also check out Partsouq. They've got a slightly more user-friendly interface, but pricing varies higher and lower so do your research on each part. The price differences can be huge.

For guys unfamiliar with COTR events we us SCHED for online trail signups and also for event scheduling. We do sign ups a few weeks before the event and everyone is able to pick the runs they want and also change runs up until the run starts. We...
It's a fraction of AHC benefits with a bunch of extra downsides, but cool to see somebody trying to create a "better-than-conventional" offering in the market.
This is good fodder for the AHC conversation. The OEM AHC system on the 100 is more...
I don't know. I drove my LX today (first time in 3 months) and was chauffeured in a new Denali Yukon and a new Suburban. Lotta miles today. The ride quality in the LX with 250k miles and 17 years old was better, IMO. The GM SUVs with conventional...
A 2WD Expedition probably has aluminum alloy control arms and a low unsprung weight. On crappy, potholed roads, it could seem to ride better than an LX. I think the LX shines on highways at high speeds, but on really beat up roads, you feel all...
