OK, short story long.
I wanted to replace leaking 2uz VVTI cam seals, they were making a mess. I got the parts, watched the video, and thumbed through the FSM. I DID NOT want to replace the water pump and all the goodies because it had already been done 40k ago (documented). And yes I should...

I was late to the GX game, driven mainly by the following 2 factors. The first being I was not brave enough to list my beloved 2002 4R for sale, we had a 16-year relationship and traveled some 1/2 million miles together. The second, was I wasn't really into the looks of the GX, it has a solid...
So I boogered up the threads on a few of my Manual Hub Studs. I finally got around to removing them. It took a LARGE pair of channel locks. I then promptly forgot and drove around for some months with 4 of 6 hub stud assemblies bolted on. I have a trail run this weekend and thought I’d better...
Good evening, I will be swapping out my A340 transmission that has 426k miles on the odometer but likely more (no speedo correction for a while, then the Superlift Correction device died after 10 years......). This is straightforward and the transmission will come from CamelBack Toyota in AZ...
I am replacing my torque converter soon as it is acting up along with the bearing. My 2002 Toyota 4Runner has 418,000 miles on it. The transmission is original and it is time for replacement. I have a feeling but would like verify that the only group of transmissions that will work are from the...
I know the crew at Tom Woods builds their shafts to be field serviceable. I have the 3 u-joints (the easy one is done) the double cardan I had to fight. And won or so I thought. As I was beating the life out of it I lost a centering ball or centeringnbearing needle bearing. I searched high and...
I had what I thought to be a bad u-joint, but after the removal of the drive shaft I got a couple table spoons of gear oil that flowed from under the nut. Hmmm......grabbed the flange play and it moves as you can see in the video below.
I need recommendations for an Automotive HVAC mechanic in the Birmingham Alabama and slightly North. My parents are living in Gardendale and my dad called and said his AC in the 2006 4R was blowing warm again. Being recently charged 2-3 weeks ago, there is clearly a leak.
Thank you
Had some weird symptoms on the way to work this morning. Come to find out the pulley nut on the PS pump has fallen off. Toyota can have one tomorrow but that doesn't help the 27 miles commute home then back. The P# is 9017812003 or 44311B. IIRC the nut head is 14mm and its fine thread. I need an...

Good evening Mud, I'm looking into purchasing a 100 series and an option came up for a reasonably priced 100 for the mileage. Usually I'd stick with something under 100K with the intent on owning it for 10+ years.
What do you do with the 2UZ when it gets old 250-300k, rebuild it, swap in a...
I'm looking for 2 FJ Cruiser TRD wheels to put on my trailer. I would prefer if they were not in perfect condition. Silver or the charcoal/ black color are fine.
Ok I need a fairly quick fix, the landing leg is not going to be used because it's to short with the lift and matching tires (while I could extend the landing leg it still will not lift the tongue). The tongue will be heavy with a full size spare and two batteries. I've used a Hi-Lift in the...
Up for sale is a set of seats out of a 4Runner (I’m guessing early 3rd gen). I bought these seats on ebay last week from my iphone and wish I had paid attention to the details. The seats don’t have lumbar or seat height adj. I was trying to replace the seats in my 02 4Runner but want at least...
I need help finding a rear carrier set up (the portion you remove when upgrading to a locker or LSD. I need the spider gears and other parts to rebuild a unit I already have. If you have an entire 3rd laying around that wouldn’t be bad either. This is for a 2006 Tacoma, but applicable years and...
I have a new old stock Cooper STT I'm selling. This tire was intended as a spare but never got used as it still has the rubber furries on it. Item located in Oveido, FL or Jupiter and I'm asking $110. I'm not really interested in shipping it.
