Following up on this. Trying to understand this before I tackle this job.

I am about to begin replacing my steering rack. I have watched how to videos on YouTube and read a few of the how to thread. I am planing to jack the bell housing between the oil pan and the transmission fluid pan (like in this thread STEERING RACK REPLACEMENT -...

Thanks for all that replied. The factory roof rack cross bar have a maximum 32 inch spread with the an ability to adjust in the rack rail. If I install the roof tent as in the link, 83 inch length will result a 30 inch overhang (pass the front crossbar) and the end of RTT will be right pass the...

I found this shows 70KG is the limit. Still wondering if anyone have done it by just replacing the cross bars.

I would try to keep the rig as factory as possible. Where do you refer to the specs or the load of factory rack? I tried to search from user manual but could not find it. Or if the cross bar is a weak point, could there be a way only replacing or add cross bar to increase weight capacity?

Hello, I am considering a rooftop tent to be installed on the factory roof rack of my 05 LX. Some concerns I have on the stability of the factory rack. I had a cargo box attached to the roof rack previously for only one of my long trips, but the vibration of the rack and the cargo box was so...

great. I will try this method. Thanks!

No I don’t think it’s overheating as the temperature gage stays normal. I was waiting the coolant to circulate to the return hose to the radiator while I have a funnel full of coolant attached to the radiator. I was anticipating the amount of coolant in the funnel to reduce as I lost about 1-2...

Just replaced heater Ts. I was going to top/burp coolant to replace what was lost. But it seems the thermostat just does not open even after 30mins of idling with heater on most of the time. Is this normal? The thermostat was replaced new about 30k miles ago with timing belt and the water...

#3, the windshield seal. Mine looks the same as yours. I have been driving like that for 20+k miles with no issues. It does not become looser.

This is part number PT228-00380, and I am planning to install it to my in bumper hitch receiver. anyone know what is the function of the ring and where it should go?

While I was doing my timing belt job. I accidentally took one bolt of the oil pump off. And I found it after a few steps. You can tell the position of the water pump bolt and the oil pump bolt are very close. I was able to reinstall the oil pump bolt based on FSM torque specs.

LOL. I did not have a chance to do the Farwell trail. But we drive a bit on the buffalo pass and that was quite a fun drive.

Hello, I am visiting steamboat springs in 2 weeks and thinking about doing the Farwell Mountain OHV Trail. Anyone has done this can comment on the trial conditions. My truck has all stock Michelin tires. Would that be okay to drive this trail? Thanks.

Maybe I am mistaking, but can we just tight the bolt of the front bushing? I see the bolt is in the frame and there is still room to let the bolt go in.
