I'm out there price shopping for steering rack 44250-60120 job and it's been fun. Indy shop (recommended on mud) $625 labor to put in my supplied LC torsion bars.... $3612 to the rack, steering shaft, tie rods Lexus dealer is showing $3351 for just the rack job.

Are those proper constant tension clamps used for the cooling system?

I found the VIN. Went to the Toyota dealer in july where it shows "This was in a wreck" and needs body harness and washer fluid harness.

What's the best approach to getting all of the AHC fluid out of residual lines? I constantly have trace amounts of fluid even though I pulled the AHC fuses so no pumps are running. Tank under the hood is now gone and 1 of the globe units is now gone. 3 more to go.

I originally had a veepeak Bluetooth adapter but it would never connect to the head unit. Picked up the WiFi veepeak unit and it connects via WiFi and then Torque app has option to connect via WiFi. To prevent any chance of drain, I have an obd2 extension cord with switch on it.

I finally got a obd2 unit to talk to the phoenix head unit. Torque lite has obd2 vehicle speed and GPS speed. I used to run that in my upsized 4Runner and could see the speedometer difference

1) The Power Attenna gets me every time too (2004). I didn't even connect it to the back of the head unit. 2) I was getting more room with the cables by not connecting the HVAC box and just sitting it on top of the DIN unit. 3) I was hoping the wood trim would be more peach colored to match the...

I have sound in second row, and it probably lacks any form of bass. I tried to give the stock unit a little bit of testing with cassettes and the self-help CD's that were left behind and it was underwhelming. I'll have to spend more time figuring out if all components are rocking and...

My Phoenix G6 experience was a C+. They sent me red trim when I have the orange wood trim. Takes a long time to hear back from them, but decent success using whatsapp and the actual phone line. Had buzzing/no sound, the sound field delay change fixed that. Boots up fast, connects wireless...

Previous owner left behind the Mcgard color codes for both key locks, but no spare tire winch key, so I ordered one from McGard. Its the silver nubbin you see left behind in the pic and it is square and fits into the spare tire stick. When you shine a light into the porthole, youll see a star...

Decided to get an oil change for piece of mind and get things looked over. They followed the book and did 7qts and was wayyyyy over the full line. At this point, we werent sure if it was the proper dipstick. Decided to start it up and it idled pretty bad, so that made it clear what the issue...

I had the battery off and on disconnected while the interior was drying out. Its back to not working...... My new issue is the seatbelt wont click any more. I only put the driver seat back in and left all the rest of the interior disconnected so I'm sure its expecting something plugged in...

Thank you! I was combing so many threads and reverse image searching. The battery gauge is back in business now too.

My daily commuter catch-all was a 2008 4Runner I got to 315k, but I always wanted a 100 series when the time was right. Finally snapped up a clean one owner 2004 with 185k mi. In my search, there has been rotted frames, failed brake booster that prevented me from even leaving the dealer lot, a...

Any regrets with the 0 offset? I’m fine with fixing fender trim if that’s the most these needed with a 265 width tire.
