    Vibration 10-15mph after adding more caster. Why?

    Grease the new joints again, drive it hundreds of miles for wear in and report back. My 5k front oem joint still lightly vibes on decel only, no caster, no arms. It had to wear in. The original joint had 180k and was Grrrring both ways for a thousand miles after 850 heavy springs. Was...

    Thinking of putting off replacing your fuel filter?

    At 190 thousand it was mostly sand and little paper. I was surprised at the amount of dirt. I think the free-flowing new OEM gave me a nice throttle response initially. If anyone’s in doubt, just replace it. 18 inch swivel head extension from underneath and some knuckle scraping tighten from the...

    80 VS 1st gen 4Runner

    I drove my 85 for six years in my early 20s, off roading It was great, weak and lifeless on hi way though. While they are an amazing all purpose light truck the 4 Runner was IMO half of what the 80 is. I could have bought my much loved Toy back cheaply, yet I had realized after years with 80s...

    Taco Owner - LC Curious

    I would never give up my cruiser even if it had no windows! We, my brother ect buy Toyota’s and with some maintenance just drive them. No issues after 20 trucks combined between us. They go and go. Our whole family has a bunch. My sister has a Benz but her man is a mechanic.
