Did the fuel filter install go smoothly? No chance of a piece of debris that fell into the hose/pipe on either side? Determining if the fuel pump runs and whether there is fuel at the inlet side of the fuel filter are both great suggestions. Fuel pump itself is a breeze, just pull the carpet up...

Welcome and beautiful truck! Coming from a Rover, you'll likely find less local support in the UK but an even more engaged and enthusiastic international community. This forum is great. Definitely read all of the FAQs if you have not yet, plenty of useful info in there. Regarding a code...

I have heat gunned my WeatherTechs many times... Unless you enjoy using the heat gun every week you won't like the WeatherTechs IMO. The rear fits so poorly you would need more than a heat gun to fix it, the front passenger slides forward and curls—this can be fixed with a heat gun but in my...

I believe that will work, but I know plenty of folks on the site run that combo so hopefully they chime in. This build thread has that tire size/spacer size early on: Builds - Gerry's Build thread: "If it happens again I'm buying an Abrams" -...

Could be, only way to find out is to pull apart the e brake. In the northeast bellcranks and the small e brake cable that connects bellcrank to shoe do not last long... When you pull the rotor, look to see if the inside lip of the rotor is rubbing on the backing plate at all. Both sides of mine...

If you can swing it to have both simultaneously in addition to the 4Runner then great, especially if you prefer driving the LC over the 4R. Try dailying the '00 for a month and see if you like the feel of a lower mileage truck or if you miss your '06. Then when you want or need to sell one you...

While $10k is in fact a no brainer for a LX of that mileage and condition, I have a mental hurdle for buying that if it means selling the '06 LC. The '06 gives you VVTI, 5-spd trans, a few cosmetic updates of the interior, these are great to have... For the cost of sales tax, excise tax, and the...

This is a known problem on certainly earlier model years. @cruiserpatch recently released some repair/reinforcement panels that, if I understand correctly, can be used to cover damage like this or to prevent it from occurring. Read these threads for the details...

Glad to hear you're back on the road! Now Fluid Film the seams on your new tank before it snows again!

So glad to hear it, especially on a truck that is relatively rare in your region. Hopefully this also proves to be a good relationship with a garage that is comfortable working on this truck. At this age and rust condition, it would be good peace of mind to have a contact who is familiar with...

Structurally, the vehicle is not dead at all. The rot shown in the video was the body, not the frame. The frame, axle, and other chassis components need clean-up no doubt, but they don't have rot holes that would justify welding, not to mention being removed from the roads. The bigger question...

I wonder if a domed Rock Warrior cap would protrude far enough? I think they are still available for purchase.

Welcome! Always excited to see other folks from Maine on here, I think I may recognize seeing this truck for sale? Also nice to see people willing to pick up rusty trucks, I think on enthusiast forums like this they are often downplayed (and there are good reasons for this) but in our region...

I second this. I had a leak recently from my low side valve. The one that came out was stuck in the open position once pressure was removed. It had no spring tension left. With a bad valve the system will hold a vacuum and keep pressure with the manifold gauges attached but it will not last in...

Sounds like too much work, feel free to drop the SC off at my house for disposal... I have not done it, but it is my understanding that it should be a direct swap on your 1999 as it is pre-VVTI. My only questions would be around engine/fuel management computers.
