    Power steering issues

    Hi All, I tried searching but couldn't find anything that addresses my issue. I have been having some pretty serious issues with my power steering. What started out as a small drip two days ago has spiraled into having serious foaming and overflowing out of the reservoir. I had a slow leak...

    Wanted  '93-'94 Hood and passenger side front fender in gold (4K1)

    I am looking for a nice hood and front passenger fender. I don't really need the flare or the inner fender but would take both if they are in good shape. I would love a color match but it's not crucial as I can have them painted to match as closely as possible.

    Wanted  AC Compressor manifold for 1994 80 Series with r134a

    Hey all, I replaced my entire AC system a few years ago and I am leaking now because I couldn't source a new manifold that has the high and low pressure line fittings that attach to the compressor. I cannot find this part anywhere online and I would very much appreciate it if someone would...

    AHC diagnostic issues.

    Hey folks, So, I am having some issues with my AHC on my 2002 LX470. I just got back from my local dealership after waiting to get in for a month and they are telling me that they can't get into any of the areas in Techstream that deal with AHC so that they can diagnose a few things for me...

    How long does your battery last if you let the truck sit in the cold?

    Hi all, I am kinda new to the 100 series world but I was wondering if anyone has paid attention to how long the truck can sit in cold weather before needing a jump. I have a nice Odyssey AGM battery that is less than a year old and I haven't noticed any issues but I just had the truck sitting...

    Front sway bar touching steering rod after 2" Tough Dog lift kit install.

    Hi all, So, I was getting my lift kit buttoned up today and everything seems pretty good after a test drive. As part of the process, I also replaced all of the bushings in the control arms and the panhard bars and also installed new sway bar mounts. I don't remember how tight the gap was...

    High beam headlight issue.

    So, I tried searching for the solution to this and nobody seems to have nailed it down. My high beams were experiencing a short delay before they would come on and now they don't come on at all unless I pull the lever to "flash" them, at which point they do come on, but if I push the stick...

    Wheel bearing or Caliper?

    OK, so I noticed some new squeaking while I have been driving and at first I thought maybe it was a driveshaft or a u-joint that needed some grease, but I don't think that is the issue since I also discovered that my front driver's side rotor, and caliper assembly gets fricking HOT in a hurry. I...

    Anyone try WoolWax yet?

    Kellsport came out with a new product called WoolWax that is supposedly odor free and comes in two colors. As most of you know, I am an old fashioned grease monkey and I am always slathering either bar chain oil or Fluid Film on my undergarments as the first stages of my rust reversal school...

    A442F Transmission Issue UPDATE: Seems like a motor issue instead.

    I am having a new transmission issue that I have never had before. A little back story...I took most of the front end of the body apart to install a new fender along with a bunch of other stuff and the truck has been sitting for about 6 weeks. I removed the trans cooler and the radiator and I...

    RTH, Trans Cooler line orientation.

    So, the photo I had of this area when it was connected was lost with my old phone and I can't remember exactly the way these are connected. Can anyone confirm this is the orientation for the hoses(red to red, blue to blue) or is it the opposite? This is on a '94 with the stock set up. I need...

    Pink Milkshake in Friends 3rd Gen 4Runner

    Hi all, I am much more involved with the 80 Series tech chat here but I have a friend that needs a hand with his truck. He discovered the pink milkshake in his truck and he doesn't think he has had it for very long. I have never dealt with this problem, but I did poke around on some of the...

    Beeping sound when I pull the key out. Just started after 2 years of ownership.

    So, the truck started beeping when I pull the key out after turning the truck off. I assumed the alarm system was disabled and I don't have any of the original fobs nor do I have any idea how any of that works, since I haven't had to deal with it all. Is it possible that my alarm system or...

    Prepping and installing a new gas tank, filler neck and skid plate.

    I am in the process of prepping a used tank for install along with a refurbed skid plate, filler neck, new fuel lines, hoses and gaskets. I am having a heck of a time getting the old paint and whatever is sprayed on as an undercoat off. I have tried Simple Green, Vinyl flooring stripper, two...

    Beveled gears inside headlamps?

    The gears on my headlights are shot and I would like to adjust my headlights a bit. I think I can get some gears, I just don't know anything about gears. Any idea what the pitch and bore size or whatever is of the OEM parts? I found this site, but I wouldn't know what to buy or if it was a...

    Sunroof rust issue. Thoughts on how to repair?

    Just when I thought I knew where all the rust was on my truck, I found something bad for the first time last week when I was applying that weird German goop that people recommended for conditioning rubber seals. As far as I know, I don't have any issues with leaks getting into the roof and I...

    Light clunking sound over bumps.

    So, I have been having an issue that I may have had since I owned the truck but I am only now really trying to figure out. When I am driving at lower speeds, I notice a sort of light clunking sound coming from the driver's side near the front wheel. The truck has two year old shocks with maybe...
