How much more could the cost of a timing set have possibly been when you already had the motor torn down??

Man I have never heard of a chain breaking on a 1fz! How are you determining that? Sorry to hear!

More of a summary of the week than the weekend. I finished my 2500 mile sling shot from Orlando to Bozeman, MT. I arrived 1 hour before the boy landed so timing was good. Along the trip I averaged 16.1 Mpg which on 315's and loaded with front and...

Got this triple locked 80 with 224k miles last February. The car is baselined with a laundry list of repairs done to it including knuckle rebuild, rear main seal, radiator etc. In March the brake booster failed and replaced it with OEM. Replaced...

I found this weird cart for free at a ham fest. It held some rolling electronic stage equipment. I put my laptop on it and now I have a rolling FSM.

Coconut oil is what I use.

I have a poverty spec Prado and would love an equivalent 80 series. Neat truck. Is this registry published somewhere?

I was browsing a thread in a 4Runner group, and the thread was about a "grandma" who just purchased a '25 4Runner TRD Pro. The running joke was that someone would be able to pick it up down the road with very little miles, and not pay the $70kish...

Lubrication and Cooling are your two biggest items to do. First thing is to clean the bejesus out of the engine bay and underside. Steam cleaning or dry ice is best but if nothing else, just use spray degreasers and several different size...

none positive. I have seen them seized inside the gear housings... what's the inside of your broken one look like? If it still slides over that knurled shaft, I'd probably try to run it.
